Yeah no guys this is a modern food nutrition thing. Paired with -I would say- a rather mild jab at how American education has a bit of a nonsensical ‘Stalin bad’ attitude towards educating its population about the history and impact of the USSR.

CIA was formed in 1947
Stalin’s reign ended in 1953
The Soviet Union fell in 1991
Given the text has no date of reference it could be referring to any year between 47 and 91 and I’m doubtful the cia was producing caloric comparisons during the very first years of it’s inception, so I’m also doubtful it refers to the Stalin years.
Given the above I thought I’ll check the date of the source document.
What do you know? The text is from a document dated 1983.
The meme is shit.
Pretty sure you’re just being deliberately obtuse. The CIA was definitely going to be talking about the Soviet Union not under Stalin. That was most of the Soviet Union, even.
Idk where you’re coming off that a hit against American history classes is unwarranted. US grade school education about the USSR takes a snapshot of the 1930s and then it’s the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The image literally name drops Stalin and then provides a report from 30 years later as a gotcha.
It’s almost like… There was mass starvation under Stalin, and then it got better.
Yay, more tankie shit =/
The millions of Ukrainians who starved during the Holodomor would beg to differ. Also, when exactly are they talking about? The USSR was around for 70~ years, that’s a long time for them to improve things
Two different things can happen in different spots from the same government.

Yeah. But I think it’s important to understand both, much in the same way that the American government and capitalism lead to both the modern age of plenty and the dust bowl.
God not tankie shit on .world. Here’s this really cool idea: you don’t need to look up to Stalin to be critical of the US. You don’t need to support any superpowers actually… No one is making you
