Moskovskie novosti, a propaganda sheet printed in a dozen languages, published an article headlined A POISONED CLOUD OF ANTI-SOVIETISM. It listed foreign nuclear incidents and harangued the West for stirring up anti-Soviet hysteria. “Yes, we are talking about a premeditated and well-orchestrated campaign, the aim of which is to soil the political atmosphere in the East-West relationship and to use this poisoned cloud to cover up criminal acts of militarism by the USA and NATO against peace and security.”
