On a similar topic, what was the name of the Reagan-era program where the Commies created a fake US town in Russia, peopled by Ruskies who thought they were Americans, to observe how “US” citizens would react under certain circumstances?

…But because the inhabitants were full of the American Way and valued Freedom over Oppression, of course they mutinied against their Evil Masters before a bunch of marines came and “repatriated” them Stateside. [Wipes away tear].

God it was funny. I’d love to see it again.
