No, we were not. We were Russian sympathisers, but most of us had seen the Soviet regime for the evil thing it was

According to my old Dad in 1941 when the Russians were invaded by their allies the Germans we were so happy to have the Germans over there and not threatening us that we didn't ask what their politics were.
We were kicked out of Europe, struggling in the desert, the U-boats were about sink 400,000 tons of shipping in one month and the Americans were not helping us. The Russians were our NEW best friends.
Besides every Russian was a communist as was proved by their elections where the communists were elected by polling 100% of the vote.
