Yeah most documentaries about the cold war suck. They generally don't convey context and/or nuance of Soviet US relations before WW2 and that plays a huge factor in their relations post WW2.
yeah they kind of gloss over how we supported the “White” faction in the October Revolution, up to and including sending troops to Russia to help fight the “Reds”, which led to a bitter East-West distrust and outright hatred that was supported by paranoia and misinformation on both sides as to the “evils” of the opposing systems of government.
