Guthrie, however, was for a good while Stalin’s shill. He sang for ‘peace’ until the start of Operation: Barbarossa and only after the Soviet Union was attacked did he call for US entry into WWII.

You’re thinking of Pete Seeger. Woody Guthrie lobbied to be a USO performer instead of being conscripted as a soldier and ended up serving in the Merchant Marines.

Pete Seeger repudiated Stalin, BTW.
