...methods of distribution, and their obvious attempts at whitewashing a murderous attack on civilians can only serve to arouse the very anti-Soviet hysteria they deplore. The latest YCL statement emphasizes the fact that their views are not taken to further the best interests of the U.S., but to champion the cause of Russia.
