I would not shield some people and protect others. Both Americans and Russians use propaganda at full capacity, but the United States does it beautifully and beautifully. The quality and ratings of films are exactly what they say.

american propaganda is bloated annoyingly overpriced advertisement.
russian propaganda is art, and brilliant as such.
example

heavily sponsored by the ministry of culture, putin criticizing his own regime without any sugar coating.
