KGB officers found a target-rich environment when they drew a bead on Americans for covert influence operations in the period just after the communists seized power in Russia.

The powerful prosperity of the roaring 20s and the rise of Socialism created a leisure class that fancied itself smarter, hipper, more sophisticated, and generally above the American masses who still believed in American exceptionalism, capitalism, traditional morality, and God.

The original Willing Accomplices were used by the KGB for two purposes: first was to win recognition of the new Russia. Raymond Robins and Walter Duranty worked tirelessly towards this goal--they both willingly twisted the truth for their communist handlers. 

At the same time, they and others pursued the second goal, destroying American exceptionalism, and creating a political class that loathed normal Americans.
