Because Soviets won WW2 and went on to infiltrate America and build a new fifth column from which they could subvert our culture and tear it down from within?
The Soviet satellite states that they violently subjugated for decades until the USSR collapsed? Well that's the fun thing about communism, once the revolution happens you don't allow people the freedom to debate whether communism is beneficial to the people. There's no reason to infiltrate any country already under your sphere of influence; and it turns out living under communism sours you on that form of political economics.

You get to piggyback on all the demonization of Hitler they constantly engage in. In pop culture, he's not a man but he embodiment of evil.
