I was just watching Rocky IV, where Rocky Balboa battles the near-unbeatable Ivan Drago. As the fight approaches, the link between this monster of a man and his country is heavily stressed, as it occasionally is in other American movies from that time period.
Did filmmakers in the USSR portray American culture and/or western capitalists as villains, just like we (Americans) often did to them?

What were movies like in Soviet Russia during the Cold War?
and, for general interest, this section from the FAQ*
