Soviet News and Propaganda Analysis Based on RED STAR (The Official Newspaper of the Soviet Defense Establishment for the Period), 1-31 January 1985. Volume 5, Number 1.
Abstract
For more than five years, Soviet propagandists, media commentators, and high-ranking Soviet officials have been consistent and uncomprising in their tough and demanding rhetoric about the dangerous, warmongering and anti-Soviet policies of the United States government. For over five years, the United States has received an average of 60% of the total negative and/or abusive rhetoric in Red Star devoted to foreign governments. During January 1985, the editors of Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star), the official publication of the Soviet Ministry of Defense, allocated over 44% of international and foreign affairs space (in Red Star) to topics and events that concerned the United States. The primary purpose of this edition is to provide the reader with an overview of Russian rhetoric, propaganda themes, slogans and topics which have been directed to the military forces of the U.S.S.R. during January 1985. It first examines Soviet perceptions and reporting of international events and then considers Red Star's coverage of Soviet domestic and military topics.
