Me, too. And this caused some temporary consternation a few years 
later.  By then, I had developed at least an ambivalent, if not 
downright tepid, feeling toward the USSR thanks to my youthful 
interchanges with Radio Moscow (how bad could these people be?).  In my 
mind, it didn't quite square with the "assertive" political 
indoctrination I was receiving during training as a Naval Aviator in the 
late '60's.

Luckily for the cause of democracy, I was eventually shipped out to 
Yankee Station off the coast of "Veet-Nam" and had little spiritual 
struggle thinking unkindly about the Commie hoarde in that part of the 
world.

Jim may recall some of the musical selections we were favored with by 
Radio Peking. I found one tune especially inspiring. According to the 
announcer, the song celebrated the toil of those who "hauled the dung to 
the top of the mountain."  Ah -- those were the days....
