Talk:Russian Five

message: Isn't the Russian Five also a group of classical music composers?
I think it was Balakirev, Cui, Borodin, Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. (If school classes served me right)
Can someone who knows more than me fill in a page for this? The above is about as far as my knowledge on the subject goes.  
Also known as the Mighty Five and Mighty Handful

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:BelievePatch.jpg

message: IP user  has been trying to make an edit countring Devellano's claim about America's protrayal of Russia. My chief concern is that none of the sources directly discuss American media, only Russian media. I also noted that the Washington Examiner link is marked with "No Consensus" on WP:RSP. I'm open to other's thoughts, but I don't believe the edit should be added as-is. I've included it in full below for your consideration.
"It should be noted, however, that American propaganda never sought to depict the Russian people as the enemy, focusing only on the doings of the Soviet government. Meanwhile, the USSR frequently depicted all the Americans as the enemy.https://www.forbes.com/sites/katyasoldak/2017/12/20/this-is-how-propaganda-works-a-look-inside-a-soviet-childhood/#5244ee5b3566https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/russias-anti-us-sentiment-now-is-even-worse-than-it-was-in-soviet-union/2015/03/08/b7d534c4-c357-11e4-a188-8e4971d37a8d_story.htmlhttps://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/reagans-still-unfulfilled-hope-for-the-russian-people"

thread_title:  Proposed edit regarding propaganda 

message: Hello!
There is quote in the final paragraph that misrepresents what Cold War propaganda was about. It leaves an impression that the US government was actively working to depict all Russians as the enemy of an average American, something that is not entirely true. Meanwhile, it fails to mention the Soviet government's anti-Americanism and its influence on the minds of the Soviet citizens. I would propose adding some information about that, similar to what I added before it was removed. If you think it can be made more neutral, please feel free to voice your ideas.
Thank you!

replies: text: That's not why that quote is there at all. It's a specific quote from one of the main players that brought the Russian Five to Detroit, and it's his own words talking about how the impact meeting those guys had on him. It's directly relevant to the subject of the article. The things you're trying to add are just purely political for politics' sake. In other words, they don't belong here.
