I came across this one, by pure chance. Never seen it myself, but I'd say it probably qualifies as propaganda! Anyone remembers it?

In Western Europe the anti Russian propaganda was almost worst in the 1990s because Russians were portrayed as totally cruel, ruthless and morally corrupt.

I remember an old TV series that took place on a Baltic Sea cruise ship. As soon as you heard a character speak with a Russian accent you'd know that something extremely sinister was going on - like someone was smuggling a realy terrible and deadly drug, human trafficking, prostitution or somebody was about to be thrown overboard into freezing water. At the same time there were new horror stories coming from Russia on the news every week.

It was impossible not to get a very negative picture in the 1990s! I saw very few American films of this nature in the 80s and did not take those I saw very seriously. But the 1990s "greedy, evil, morally corrupt" Russian gangster scared me.

Not to mention the conspiracy theory about the "Estonia" ferry, which lots of people believed in (almost me too....) The general idea being that Russia sank the ferry on purpose, oblivious that almost 1000 people drowned.

Certain Russian films from that era did not help things either.

Creepy. I had a positive view of Russians up until ca 1990 and then for the last 5-6 years or so. But I was really affected by all these horrible things you read about and heard about in the 90s, both in films and on the news.

By chance or not, the word typed in cyrillic is not nice to say aloud. It's funny that Russina system administrators use now "хуетйд" when talking about some authentication stuff. Here it's again written on the telephone booth -- this time with no errors.
