Does the awarding of Russia's highest civilian honor to a former US citizen and Soviet spy show the real fact
that Russia is still ingrained in the Cold War era? Putin a former KGBer gives the Hero of the Rusian Federation award to Dr. George Koval a Soviet spy who when in the US ingrained himself in the Mahattan Project. Koval's spying helped the USSR develop a atom bomb quicker than any other nuclear nation thanks to data taken from the Mahattan Project. Another example of Putin wanting to reopen the cold war era.
