The Duma has a group about fake history. This group says some stories are not good for Russia. They say some Western stories are lies against Russia.

The group said the 'Red Terror' story is not true. It says the Bolsheviks did not hurt many people. The group thinks an American spy made up this story.

This spy was named Allen Dulles, they explained. He did not like Russia or the Soviet Union at all. A member of Duma, Evgeny Fedorov said it was all Dulles' idea.

The Duma members shared some information. They said the CIA spent a lot of money on these lies. The CIA used at least 100 million dollars to spread it.

The Duma will soon look at some new rules. These rules are for people who tell lies about the Soviet time. The rules will punish people who spread bad information.
