I do recall seeing a result of a geography test when I was in high school that a little over 30% of American high school students had misidentified the USSR as the USA in the test.  Reason given: it was the biggest country, so most likely to be the United States in their mind.

I swore before instead of tractor factory, he said "glorious new leader"

Keep in mind that, ~40 years after the fall of the backward aristocratic Russian Empire, the USSR beat us into manned space flight.... at the same time, it's amazing to think that education standards have fallen so far in 20 years.
