How was life being Russian American in the US during the Cold War?
That would be great, thank you.
During the Cold War, being of Russian ancestry could lead to being stigmatized as a potential Soviet spy or sympathizer, and the government was very suspicious of Russian immigrants or those with Russian ancestry. Many Russian-Americans experienced discrimination, and some were even investigated or harassed by government agencies. However, in certain neighborhoods or communities, Russian-Americans could be seen as a source of insight or expertise on Russian culture and language.
