Why in the U.S. Russians considered as the standard of vice?

Why in the U.S. Russians considered as the standard of vice? Why changing social norms in the U.S, Americans always attributed the opposition of this norms to Russians?

In the 30's in U.S. were the norm racism and Christianity - all Russians were regarded as internationalists and atheists.

Now in U.S. is popular tolerance and liberalism - all Russians were regarded as nazis and religious fanatics.

Why is that?

    What a lot of twaddle - most Russians would be extremely offended to be referred to as Nazis. Is this a symptom of the confused world view of America, or a sad indictment of their education system.
