Good point. Did the USSR leaders know about the positive health effects of fish (vitamin D, fatty acids etc.) though, and if they did, why didn't they use that as an argument to convince people?

Come to think of it, they probably didn't. But a quick online search seems to show that the 70s was around when the world understood Vitamin D a lot more, so could be.

They definitely did, since they promoted fish oil consumption in their healthy lifestyle propaganda ads since 1950s and maybe even earlier.
