What misinformation?  Do you deny the USSR was expansionist under a policy of "world revolution"?  Or that people were being sent to gulags for no reason?

In my cold war schoolboy textbooks the West won WW2 almost singlehandedly, the poor
Russians were only kept afloat because we loaned them trucks, planes, beans and bullets
and then we were never paid back because they were evil commies.

I'm sorry, but your English is sometimes hard to follow

James,

You do know that is not true, yes?

TU144 and Concorde were developed separately at around the same time.  Concorde development started earlier, but TU144 was operational before Concorde by about 6 months.
