Donald Knuth was framed

There's exactly zero evidence of such plans. It's a new western attempt to rewrite history again and make USSR even more "evil".

Make people repeat the same lie 10,000 times and they'll start believing it.

I don't think a version of history where the USSR attacks Nazi Germany unprovoked is one that makes the USSR look "evil".

There is plenty of evidence, and it is not new or western. This claim was made in the 1980s, by Soviet defectors.

Possibly, although as I mentioned he's not alone in his claims, he does have a fair bit of evidence, and he is most certainly not western nor is his claim new.
