19. septembril 1965 teatas United Press International Moskvast:
The poisonous seeds of the Voice of America broadcasts are taking root among Soviet youths, „The Banner of Lenin“ said today. (It mentioned two teenage boys and continued:) „these dissipated youths smoked, drank and danced and listened to the Voice of America broadcasts“.
The paper said one of the boys wrote the following poem in prison:
„I was drinking to the boys from the street, / I was drinking to the girls and to jazz.. / During the night the Voice of Washington / Filled us with the powerful urge to passion.“


Michael Nelson „War of the Black Heavens“, Syracuse 1997:

Archives of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union confirmed that the Communists believed that Western radio propaganda was the strongest and most effective weapon that existed for ideological intervention in the Soviet Union.

Without Western broadcasting, totalitarian regimes would have survived much longer. When it came to radio waves, the iron curain was helpless. /Lech Walesa/
