  Charles Cole, author of In Russian Wonderland: An American's Odyssey in Soviet Russia, contacted me.  His memoir recounts his time in 1972 as a Russian-speaking American "guide"

Also illuminating is the story that Cole recounts of when he and his fellow guides went to dinner.  They were approached by English-speaking black men from Africa.  Cole asked if their country sent a lot of exchange students to Moscow.

'Oh, yes,' replied one, 'we send all of them here to the Soviet Union.' He explained why: 'We used to send quite a few of our students to Princeton, Columbia, and Berkeley, but they all came back Marxists. Now we send them here, and after three or four years in the USSR, they all return dedicated anti-communists.'

«Раньше мы отправляли довольно много наших студентов в Принстон, Колумбийский университет и Беркли, но они все возвращались марксистами. Теперь мы отправляем их в СССР и все они возвращаются убежденными антикоммунистами».
