<ul>
	<li>Just like we&#39;ve got Marvel and DC, the Cold War had two main perspectives: Western &amp; Soviet.</li>
	<li>Western Perspective: What most of us are familiar with.</li>
	<li>Soviet Perspective: Let&#39;s dive in!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>&#39;Soviet Orthodox&#39;
	<ul>
		<li>Soviet historians during the Cold War.</li>
		<li>Why? Well, they were writing under heavy censorship. Think of them like movie directors with tons of studio interference.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>&#39;Soviet Revisionists&#39;
	<ul>
		<li>Post-Cold War Soviet historians.</li>
		<li>Focused a lot on Stalin. Kinda like focusing on Thanos in the Avengers movies.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>They saw the U.S. as trying to spread &quot;dollar imperialism.&quot; Think of it as the U.S. trying to set up a monopoly board across Europe.</li>
	<li>Sergei Molotov&#39;s Hot Take:
	<ul>
		<li>Wrote Problems of Foreign Policy.</li>
		<li>Accused the U.S. of trying to economically control Europe. Like a puppet master pulling strings!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Post-WW2: All about rebuilding and finding security. It&#39;s like recovering from a bad flu and then putting on armor so you don&#39;t get sick again.</li>
	<li>Soviet Aim: Help communist groups globally. They believed socialism would win, and they wanted to be on the right side of history!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Post-Cold War Era: Like opening a treasure chest of history!</li>
	<li>Two Views Emerge
	<ul>
		<li>Ideology &amp; Security: Post-WW2, spreading socialism was also about ensuring safety.</li>
		<li>Fear Factor: The USSR was really scared of Germany and Japan, and well, basically everyone else!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>&#39;Soviet Revisionism&#39;: Post-Cold War historians like Vojtech Mastny think Stalin played a huge role.</li>
	<li>Stalin&rsquo;s Style: Called &#39;Stalinism&#39;, was marked by extreme paranoia and suspicion. Imagine being suspicious of every gift because you think it might explode!</li>
</ul>

📝 Remember: History isn&#39;t just dates and names. It&#39;s like a thrilling movie, and understanding the perspectives is like getting to watch the director&#39;s cut.
