All true but you missed out the bit where 'the Russians are coming' frequently turns into 'the Russians are here'. The only variation has been 'the little green men are here... just kidding, it's us Russians again but only on holiday... no, kidding again, it is a Russia invasion'.
Same for the Russians and the Nazis coming to a nice agreement and invading Poland. I'm sure Goebbels was very proud of Russia at that point.
