Fred Rogers died on this day in 2003. From the archives: Did you know that in November 1984, amidst the Cold War, Mr. Rogers hosted popular Soviet children’s show host Tatiana Vedeneeva? In what was dubbed “puppet detente,” Mr. Rogers and Ms. Vedeneeva taped a segment together, which aired when President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev was in America to meet with President Reagan. While the Soviet TV host was at Mr. Rogers’ studio, a message board outside read, in English and Russian, “On the bridge of trust and the rainbow of love, Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood welcomes Tatiana Vedeneeva.” The moral of the story, to put it in Mr. Rogers’ words: “Peace means far more than just the opposite of war.”
