Soviet outlets published 564 articles on U.S. internal affairs in the past year, highlighting crime, poverty, race issues, and police brutality with 118 photographs emphasizing policing, demonstrations, and racial strife. Foreign radio and electronically jammed broadcasts offered the only alternative viewpoint to readers in the Soviet Union.
