in the moderate Aristotelian city

So this is about to be followed up with some heavy-duty Googling, but I thought I would ask my lovely dwroll as well.

I'm looking for media that meet the following criteria:

* Fictional media written in the West (preferably the USA, but I'll also take Western European and Canadian stuff) that deals with or portrays the USSR (and to a lesser extent the rest of the Eastern Bloc) during the Cold War. Contemporary stuff is preferred over historical or retrospective stuff, as most of what I'm interested in is attitudes back then, but I'm also interested in modern-day representations of what happened back then.
* Fictional media written in the West about Communism and Communist governments more generally.
* Articles on the Western perception of the USSR/Eastern Bloc and Communism during the Cold War. Scholarly, journalistic and just-a-person-thinking-about-it articles are all welcome here, but please bear in mind that I'm not attached to a university and don't have easy journal access.

Yes, so I might be thinking about writing an essay on how Night Vale is influenced by Western/capitalist ideas about Communist governments.

So one of the things I'm fannish about is the movie Inception. It is a very enjoyable film, full of thinky thoughts, big guns, explosions, and beautiful people.
