Americans remember the Cold War as a struggle of America against Russia, Capitalism against Communism, Christianity against Godlessness, Right-Wing against Left-Wing, but is all of that right? Did we get the Cold War backwards, and was the Soviet Union the Conservative Right-Wing country while the United States was the Liberal Left-Wing country? Looking especially at politics in America today versus the politics of Russia and other post-Soviet countries, it make you wonder if some framings of the Cold War got mixed up. The history of the United States is not the history of a remarkably conservative or right-wing country in the traditional sense, in many ways the politics of the United States both among Republicans and Democrats is rooted in old liberal and anti-authority values, while the values of the Soviet Union were heavily influenced by the values of Imperial Russia, Communist order, and Soviet authority.
