“Soviet Cold-War Articles on the United States—Part I.”

A collection of articles titled “Soviet Cold-War Articles on the United States—Part I.” The collection is divided
into three sets of articles: “Politics,” “Capitalism,” and “Racism.”
I added the occasional explanatory notes inside square brackets that you’ll encounter in these articles. Regular
parentheses and their contents are the work of Soviet authors or editors.

1. We will begin by discussing each set of articles separately. Be able to describe, with impressive command of
   detail, the arguments of the individual articles in each set.
2. How do these arguments pertain to the Cold-War propaganda debate over the “American Way of Life” that I
   described in class?
3. Do any themes overlap? That is, are there themes in one set of articles that also appear in articles from
   another set?
   The articles’ titles are listed below, in case you find this useful as a reference guide. “Democracy American

   “Voters from the Next World”
