It might suprise you, but entertainment products are always propagandistic. A good example is the entire CoD series which glorifies western militaries and demonizes its enemies, going so far as to pin western warcrimes on other countries. Hint: Not Russia invaded Iraq, it was the USA. So the mowing down of a entire high speed road full of people, known as the “highway of death”, was done by the USA.
Or the wonderfull Hearts of Irons 4, which depicts Stalins supposed paranoia as game mechanic, but conveniently “left out” the Holocaust and the genocidal aspect of the entire operation Barbarossa. Guess it’s easier to play Germany when the game does not tell you what your victory means for tens of millions. Hint: These millions get exterminated to make space for german settlers.
Or the always cherished Hollywood with all its movies somehow making the US the good guy, might be related to all the US army toys they get to show in their movies. Which is the case, they get to use the toys, but have to make government approved stories.
“Propaganda” ultimately is a synomym for “advertisement”, the preferability or desireability of a product, narative or ideology is advertised to the recipient. Regarding entertainment products, obviously the views, ideas and ideology of the creators are advertised to the consumer. It is propagandized, so to say. These things might be beign, neutral or heinous. But propaganda in any case.
So per definition everything is propaganda. Welcome to reality, I hope you enjoy your stay.
Less data siphoned off to the USA. Less markets for a US company. One avenue less for western propaganda.
Most of the evaportaion happened post 1991. I wonder if something important happened. Oh yes, the USSR dissolved.

You can alos check Prolewiki for more stuff: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Wikipedia It’s written by communists so mind the specific lingo used. Quite a few interesting footnotes for anyone interested tho.
At least that is the PR.
It all goes out of the window as soon as politcal events are concerned, then it is just western naratives all over. With things as sources, good sources, multiple viewpoints all forgotten. What the west says is treated as gospel. While paid editors up to and including state actors rule the site. The system of nerds correcting each other is then used to prevent corrections.
Vichy is well and alive.
