This article needs a major revamp. We must add more to it, I'm surprised such an important topic has received such little attention on here. VmanBG (talk) 00:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The world war 2 section is badly in need of revision. Both the spelling/grammar and content read less like an encyclopedia article and more like a small child's book report. Its heavily laden with POV that is softened only by the author's inability to get his point across. I will rewrite if I have time, but I invite anyone to try to improve what's there now.

The world war two section could be made much more neutral. There is a quote from 1943's Life magazine that said such things as that Lenin was “perhaps the greatest man of modern times,” that the Russians are “one hell of a people [who] ... to a remarkable degree ... look like Americans, dress like Americans and think like Americans,” Found here:http://www.conservativeforum.org/EssaysForm.asp?ID=6255 And also from "Superpower Rivalry - The Cold War [1945-1991]" by Tony McAleavy (Cambridge). 41.232.205.37 (talk) 06:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Crash91[reply]

The World War II section is particularly bad, but the entire article is a mess and is in desperate need for attention from an expert on the topic. 72.192.203.13 (talk) 03:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-world war II relations is basically an anti-US propaganda piece which leaves out major important events and makes up several events.184.5.120.145 (talk) 17:26, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@184.5.120.145 The whole article is basically an anti-soviet propaganda piece with a mish mash of mostly irrelevant information which have no links to the relations between the USSR and the USA. Events such as the Cuban missiles crisis or Apollo Soyuz are left out while there are repetitive developments about the nature of the Warsaw Pact for example. 93.22.38.108 (talk) 04:42, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Material added here is an unusably close paraphrase of [1]. Compare the following two article/source examples:

The hostility of the US government to the Russian socialist government was immediate and visceral.

Secretary of State Robert Lansing

and the State Department in general were profoundly hostile to Soviet Russia.
