I hear Europeans gain Weight when they come here and lose it when they leave, with no change in eating habits.
Yeah no guys this is a modern food nutrition thing. Paired with -I would say- a rather mild jab at how American education has a bit of a nonsensical ‘Stalin bad’ attitude towards educating its population about the history and impact of the USSR.
Given the text has no date of reference it could be referring to any year between 47 and 91 and I’m doubtful the cia was producing caloric comparisons during the very first years of it’s inception, so I’m also doubtful it refers to the Stalin years.
Given the above I thought I’ll check the date of the source document.
Pretty sure you’re just being deliberately obtuse.
The CIA was definitely going to be talking about the Soviet Union not under Stalin. That was most of the Soviet Union, even.
Idk where you’re coming off that a hit against American history classes is unwarranted. US grade school education about the USSR takes a snapshot of the 1930s and then it’s the fall of the Berlin Wall.
