    • Abstract:
      This article focuses on the recent anti-American propaganda in the Soviet Union and its consequences, specially in context of the Korean situation. The Korean situation, which involves both the U.S. and the Soviet Union, gives special emphasis to one aspect of life inside the Soviet Union. Both adversaries in the cold war have long been waging propaganda campaigns against each other. The first hint of this new propaganda drive against the U.S. was contained in the August 14, 1946, decree of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, which was aimed at correcting certain abuses of literary magazines and writers. In the literature context, one of the stereotypes of criticism directed against those unfortunate Soviet "homeless cosmopolitans," the particular villains among the intellectuals in the new ideological shift, is precisely that they have succumbed to American influences.
