what we consider the foundations of modern liberalism (multiculturalism acceptance of gender and sexual minorities), is seen in Eastern Europe (specifically Russia/former USSR) as a controversial “western import”. It’s like the culture war in America, there are two different general cultural factions: westernizers and slavophiles. The disastrous economic changes the “westernizer” liberals brought to some parts of eastern Europe really soured their reputation. The Soviet Union and nostalgia for it are firmly culturally linked to the slavophiles, which are also consistently socially conservative on other issues (they are strongly tied to the Orthodox Church). In other eastern European countries like Poland the Catholic Church is still very dominant politically.
So I guess the answer to your question is that a lot of eastern Europeans are homophobic and racist because they think these ideas are just more western attempts to destroy their culture. People who are nostalgic for the Soviet Union tend to be anti-western for obvious reasons, and unfortunately cultural conditioning pushes them towards these backwards views.
Probably was Aldrich Aims, he’s is one of the best known American double agents and passed a bunch of lie detectors. He did it for money though so he’s not as cool as the Cambridge Five in my opinion.
Kendall Myers is his wife Gwendolyn were very based however. They worked for the state department and passed secrets to the Cuban government for 30 years out of ideological loyalty.
Unfortunately they caught him and he is now locked up at ADX Florence supermax facility, where they put all the terrorists.
