I do wonder if there was as much fear in the USSR about Americans/westerners. There were a fair number of villains in the US who were Russians of great power and evil, but a writer claimed that the same was not true in reverse - the Americans were portrayed as dupes or corporate lackeys. ("Dupe" doesn't mean ineffective - one can be duped into doing amazing things that one wouldn't do if one were wiser.) So: there were no American Ivan Dragos (was the claim I saw presented).
