I'm not entirely sure this is the correct sub to ask this but, did the USSR (even modern day Russia) make films where the USA/UK were the 'Bad Guys'?

I understand that the cold war was as much about propaganda as anything else and, having just watched 'Air Force One', i wondered if there were Russian films similar to this made/still being produced to this day.

Thanks in advance

hi! sure, this sub is fine for a question like this.

There's lots of room for more input on this, but I'll get you started on a few earlier posts.

... and there have been several discussions about Soviet film highlighting racism / racial segregation in the USA, but I've drawn a blank trying to search for them. Will give that more thought...

edit: found this old one; it contains some of the same links I've provided above, but has additional stuff too. I'm positive there was at least one more recent thread on this topic, so the hunt continues

I've never actually seen one, but the USSR produced 'red westerns', which was your typical 'cowboys and indians' films with the moral roles reversed. The natives were portrayed as peaceful people being driven out by oppressive Americans.
