That's probably because our government commits many many more crimes than the Russians.

A senate commission found JFK's assassination was a conspiracy. There was the Watergate scandal. The Iran-Contra scandal.

All of these were denied for years before they were "found out". I'm not sure the responsible parties ever actually admitted to any wrong doing as much as they tried to justify their actions either.

What they admit to is most likely an extremely small percentage when compared to the total amount of crimes committed.
You're saying it takes less years for us to admit to our crimes than to other crimes of other countries.

So what do you call occupying Afghanistan, Iraq, funding terrorists in Syria, Vietnam, Funding Terrorists in Afghanistan, Hiroshima, Nagasaki? Whine about those countries all you want but when it comes down to it, the USA are guilty of atrocites that no other could be compared with. Just because your government legalised them doesn't make them right either.
I have no idea of what and/or how many crimes they all commit. You can cough all day long, for all I care, but it's not gonna change the fact that my suggestion still remains as a possibility.
