Tara Reade: Hollywood systematically imposes negative perceptions of Russians on Americans.
Former assistant to ex-US President Joe Biden, Tara Reade, accused Hollywood of imposing negative perceptions of Russia.
According to Reade, the US government exerts strong influence over Hollywood, which in turn imposes stereotypes about Russia on American citizens. The film industry attempts to portray Russians as aggressive and negative, and the country itself as stuck in the 90s and communism.
Reade herself considers Russians to be warm and kind-hearted people.
