How did the Russians help the red scare?

The Russians contributed to the Red Scare primarily through the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, which instilled fear in the United States about the spread of communism. The establishment of a communist government in Russia fueled anxieties over potential domestic uprisings and the influence of leftist ideologies in American society. Additionally, events such as the Soviet Union's support for labor strikes and the promotion of revolutionary movements worldwide heightened suspicions and paranoia, leading to widespread anti-communist sentiment and government crackdowns in the U.S. during the early 20th century.
