It is very true that attitudes at that time before and after were strongly held and changed completely.

No doubt Le will remember that the media presented Stalin to us as Uncle Joe, bit of a saviour (which he may well have been actually), image a bit like father Xmas. I recall mainstream dailies with political cartoons showing depicting a kindly old Uncle Joe tucked up with his pipe, and the slogan - 'Let's give Uncle Joe the atom bomb for Xmas'! (atom secrets).

A couple of years later top American magazines showed glossy full page adverts depicting a table with an overturned goblet, spilled and leaking a green liquid - poison obviously - very impressive. The slogan in capitals read -A LITTLE COMMUNISM IS A BAD THING!
