2 Cold War Propaganda By: Amanda, Carly, and Emmy Brr! It’s cold in here! There must be propaganda in the atmosphere!

3 "I think that propaganda is the tool of governments, of power, and in the long run, it is average people who pay for it, and it's not soon that you're going to find people with any real kind of political ideals in Russia. They've been lied to so terribly that they no longer have the desire to believe in anything." - Vladimir Pozner, Russian journalist

4 Propaganda Types White Propaganda from easily identified sources (newspapers, magazines, radio) Black Propaganda Appears to be from a friendly source (like the government), but is really from an adversary Gray Propaganda Appears to be from a neutral source, but is really from an enemy EXAMPLE: In 1964 the KGB started a huge campaign in Indonesia. They sent neutral representatives to present the President with forged documents about a US plan to assassinate him. Indonesia harbored anti-US sentiments from then on.
