I mean come the fuck on! almost every war game and even movies haves the Russians as the villains for no reason at all. its ridiculous and sometimes i think it is even offensive, its unimaginative, unoriginal and still they always use them as the "bad guys". its like the U.S is planning to attack Russia so they made a bunch of video games to train kids to go to war... its fucking stupid.
Because the Cold War is still relatively fresh in memory… it's only been two decades since it ended. WWI ended almost a century ago and people are still making movies about it.
EDIT: Though I'm not talking exclusively about Cold War movies, it's just easy to make them the enemy in movies because for a long time they actually were "the enemy".
