2. Neither side ever moved beyond the Cold War
And we, being citizens of one, are doomed to keep repeating it.

Pravda always seemed hyper-nationalist to me. Basically a state-apologetic National Enquirer. Plenty of stories about UFO's, just so long as it was the Great Soviet U- er Russian scientists who had the goods, or the Empire (the U.S.) who was hiding it all.

As far as our press, or Russia's, I think we have learned about as hard a rock-bottom lesson as we can, in terms of the impossibility of impacting the current "mainstream press." So, it is up to us, as it always is in a democracy.

Kinda exciting, in a sort of poignantly epic way. Mostly just draining.
