Every public communication is propaganda, that is the point being made (which you missed). The difference between good or bad propaganda are the goals.
For example: Propaganda for higher wages and polical participation? Good.
Propaganda for wage depression and chauvinism of any kind? Bad.
Which brings us to your post: Most soviet propaganda indeed was of the good kind. While most american propaganda indeed is of the bad one.
I don’t think that’s a good definition, since Holocaust documentaries would be propaganda since it makes America look like the good guys.

FYI, the Soviet Union also recruited Nazis into their ranks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Osoaviakhim
If you compre both events beyong the absolute surface you might find the difference:
The soviets kept them under lock and key, extracted their knowledge and then got rid of them.
The US gave them high paying jobs, citizenship, honored their work after they passed, and amnesty for their crimes.
Let me get this right, your saying all reporting on the Holocaust is propaganda?

I think any books I’ve read you’d call propaganda, I’m not sure what you wouldn’t call propaganda.
Well you see, American propaganda is cringe, while my superior vintage Soviet propaganda is based.
Hoped this comment was helpful :)
