I know that the Russians were recommending fish oil while the West was still advertising low-fat fish.

That wasn't what we now buy as "fish oil" in the West. We now buy, basically, Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA). The Russians fed their kids cod liver oil which is full of vitamins A and D and is useful in the winter if you live up north.
