<P> However, the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union inspired propaganda in its favor, and Hollywood produced pro-Soviet movies . At Roosevelt's urging, the film Mission to Moscow was made and depicted the purge trials as a just punishment of a Trotskyite conspiracy . On the other hand, the 1939 Greta Garbo film Ninotchka was not re-released as it ridiculed Russians . </P> <P> Frank Capra's Why We Fight series included The Battle of Russia . The first part of the film depicted the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union, recounted past failures to invade Russia, and described Russian scorched earth and guerrilla tactics . It also omitted all references to the pre-War Molotov--Ribbentrop Pact . The second part of the film depicts Germany being drawn too far into Russia; and mostly concentrates on the siege of Leningrad . Indeed, it unrealistically portrays the great withdrawal into Russian territory as a deliberate ploy of the Soviet government . </P> <P> Stories written in the US or Britain that were critical of the Soviet Union and its policies were often put on hold or not published at all due to the need to maintain friendly relationships with it . One notable example of this was George Orwell's anti-Soviet novel Animal Farm, which was written during the war but could not be published until afterwards . </P> <P> Support for the Chinese people was urged in posters . Even prior to the United States' entry into the war, many Chinese figures appeared on the cover of Time . Japanese propaganda attributed this not to any disgust Americans felt for Japanese atrocities in China, but simply to more effective Chinese propaganda . </P>
