Yes, like all propaganda, the Western version is great at producing catchphrases. The Iron Curtain. The Axis of Evil. The Prison of Nations. Or, self-referentially, the White Man's Burden and Manifest Destiny. For internal consumption there are epithets like Convicted Criminal and Sleepy Joe (take your pick).
The best propaganda relies on some degree of truth before adding the imagery. But I am willing to bet that most commenters here have a fuzzy mental image of some vaguely menacing tyrant in a fur hat making people starve just for kicks. Other than Holodomor - can you name another mass starvation of an ethnic non-Russian region?

Asharshylyk. And it's not the only one I can name.
Maybe western propaganda is good in creating labels, but russians are good in killing is own people. Stalin killed more people in USSR than Hitler. Even now in their army ethnic minorities have disproportionally high KIA and WIA rates.
Hey, Russian genocides can never match the sheer killing power of American efforts to bring democracy to various parts of the world. And the Yanks have better marketing. Putin is jealous.
