Best moment, at around 8:30, from a Soviet newsman responding to the claim that Soviet media gave a very one-sided and negative picture of American life: "How is it distorted? We don't only show the unemployed poor; we show millionaires, too, and high society!!"
(Which is true -- Soviet media was ALWAYS happy to show American poverty and American millionaires. It was the US *middle class* that tended to be censored out of Soviet news...)
So, not only did they correctly describe the US economy, they even predicted the Patriot Act! I'm speechless.
