===Modern opinions on Robeson and the Soviet Union===
===Modern opinions on Robeson and the Soviet Union===
Many right wing scholars and journalists use Robeson's friendship with the peoples of USSR and his deep admiration of [[Russian culture]] as a means to label him a [[Stalinist]] and effectively negate his other achievements and political affiliations including his lifetime connections and friendships with American and [[European Jews]]<ref>Faingold, Noma. "Paul Robeson: forgotten hero of Jews, African-Americans" ''Jewish News Weekly'', July 1998</ref><ref>Karp, Jonathan. "Performing Black-Jewish Symbiosis: The "Hassidic Chant" of Paul Robeson", ''American Jewish History'', Volume 91, Number 1, March 2003, pp. 53-81</ref> Movie reviewer, [[Richard Corliss]] wrote in 1998 that Robeson "... was also a stubborn apologist for communism, Stalin-style." and that he "... could sell sand to Saharans, but he couldn't peddle Stalin to America.... If Robeson rejected a homegrown system of oppression to embrace another, more toxic one, that was his right."
