The Iron Curtain is a relative term. Did Stalin hate America? Passionate love is hate. Now all official Russia is very fond of the West and keeps money in Western offshores. Our country secretly adores America. A good example of this is these reprints in old Soviet magazines and books from American publications.

Soviet magazine Техника-Молодежи 1 1952 Space Station
On the right is its American original. Northrop Space Station Jack Leynnwood project. I thank user Flickr for this illustration.

Below is the clearest example. The famous atomic spaceplane Aldebaran from Dandridge Cole's 1965 book. Space World April 1965, VOL. B-4.18 Dandridge Cole Atomic spaceship Aldebaran - numbersstation
On the right is his reprint from the Soviet children's book I Want to Know Everything Хочу Всё Знать, 1973. But in the Soviet book it is not written - Aldebaran. There is no name Dandridge Cole. This is called both in 1953 and 1973 - a violation of copyright.
The most humorous anecdote in this regard. The first Soviet encyclopedia of cosmonautics - Little Encyclopedia of Cosmonautics 1968 Publishing House Soviet Encyclopedia (it is in my home library) - it consists of 80% of American materials and illustrations. Because in the USSR, the Soviet space theme was censored.
