[lbo-talk] Hijacking

[Chris Doss]

Of course my knowledge of it is only second-hand,
since I didn't live in the USSR and haven't seen/read
any old Soviet news programs/newspapers, but the
impression I get is that during the Brezhnev era the
party line was that the USSR had the best of
everything in the world and that all the suffering
oppressed masses of the West were very pro-Soviet.

Oh, and Soviet airplanes never crash.
