I suspect the terminology is in use in the same that the US are also the "international community". Since the new cold propaganda war with Russia unfolded over Ukraine, many of the more ignorant on social websites use "the Soviets" interchangeably with "the Russians". I agree it is amazing, but it seems to me that those old cold war attitudes are still quite prevalent in some quarters.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
