Soviet union no longer exists as such so let's talk of current russia. Hence my link.

From my link: A CBS News story on the launch of Russia Today quoted Boris Kagarlitsky as saying it was "very much a continuation of the old Soviet propaganda services".[10]

But no mention of the gulags then.

What is your point? That they (either Russia or the Soviet Union) engage/d in propaganda?

My comment was that we see Soviet propaganda for what it is, so how do you think you're contradicting or correcting me?
