The Russian Journal by Steinbeck is a timeless reading about the US-Russia relationship, fake news, and the people diplomacy. How much do you know about it?

I suppose you mean this Russian Journal as quintessential fake news itself: left-wing journalists letting KGB handlers guide them and write the names of anyone who'd blab to them, then taking the result at face value. Give me some Custine.

Hmm my reading so far does not suggest they are gullible. I love Custine as much as anything on Russia, and these guys did a good job reporting what they saw as they declared. Obviously Custine had more access and venom, & Steinbeck style is why America beat France in the world.

America didn't beat France. France beat France. Badly. World-class badly. Several times. Still doing it. The wonder is that there is still a France despite it all. Awe- and terror- inspiring.
