@Vladimir Golovin—Soviet state control over memes is vastly overstated, people are really good at adapting to bias in broadcast—some of it sticks, but not that much, and memes get primarily copied from person to person. Also what was broadcast was obedience toward the state, not independent cooperation between people, that was very much not welcome. See Pavlik Morozov story which was basically retold it Poland as “Soviet government are the worst scum of the Earth” tale—http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlik_Morozov
