Thanks @red_elk!I didn't find free access to full archive of Soviet newspapers, only short excerpts are available.
This is not exactly what you asked for, but hope it will help:
From "Pravda", 14 December, 1960.
American imperialism in Congo.
In our time, the events unfold extremely fast. It can be seen especially clearly in Africa, where national-liberation movement makes huge steps forward. One colony after another gets independence. Among them - former "Belgian" Congo, for long time considered by imperialists a "showcase" colony, one of the strongest bastions of colonialism. The fall of this fortress was a powerful blow not only against Belgian monopolists, but also against global imperialism. But this strike caused staunch resistance. Less than two weeks after its birth, the young Republic of Congo was forced to defend its newly established independence from aggression started by its former Belgian owners, with approval and support of major imperialistic powers, first and foremost the United States. These events are quickly approaching the culmination point. It's absolutely clear that behind Belgian backs stands the US establishment, without their support Belgian imperialists who were forced to grant Congo independence would have never dared to return.
It's my translation so feel free to correct grammar, etc.

"Hammarskjöld to Congolese people: Defend yourselves? We won't let you!"What does the text on the bottom of the first cartoon translate too?
Watching it, seems good to me. Can't tell if it picks up after first episode, because I quite liked it from the beginning.I was talking about Better Than Us, the Russian robot show.
I read today that there a quite a few Chinese farmers and agricultural workers in far east Russia, for example: Amur oblast, Birobidzhan, Primorsky Krai and others.
Is this seen as an issue of any importance in the western regions of Russia, or is it such a tiny area in a gigantic country that it isn't enough to make it into the news?
It is seen as a possible problem in long term, but currently is not a critical issue. Most of them are temporary workers, not immigrants and they add a lot to the economic development of the region. Another thing is AFAIK population density in Northern China is declining.I read today that there a quite a few Chinese farmers and agricultural workers in far east Russia, for example: Amur oblast, Birobidzhan, Primorsky Krai and others.
