I hope this leads to a book. You’re sharing essential information. I want it on my bookshelf, right next to my copy of 1984. I know my two daughters and four grandchildren won’t get rid of the books that are most important to me. My great grandchildren will find them on their bookshelves.
Speaking as one who did teach Russian literature (OK, not exactly history) at the college level, this is completely accurate and very correctly explained. Please keep going.
Whittaker Chambers’ (1901-1961) book “Witness” is a good story of Soviet espionage. He was originally a spy for the USSR but later became disenchanted. His nemesis, Alger Hiss (1903-1996) outlived the Soviet Union, denying to the end that he’d ever been a spy.
With the internet, influence operations have become so much easier.
Interestingly, the CCP copied this exact play by trying to claim Covid was a virus manufactured by the US in Fort Detrick too. Project Infektion did happen a long time ago, but it seems like the vast majority of people who were alive then still aren’t aware of it.
I can’t help wondering if the IRA was involved in the Q-Anon cult that developed so mysteriously around 2019, just in time for the 2020 election, and took over the minds of so many.
I was a “useful idiot,” sincerely and idealistically espousing mutual disarmament as a high school and university student in the early 1960’s. I was warned by family who understood Soviet methods that I was being duped. Of course, I took offense, didn’t believe it, and continued my activities, branching out into the civil rights movement and demonstrating against the Vietnam War. My activism waned as the demands of adult life took over. Now I observe and stay informed thanks to you and others, Olga. As I mentioned in a comment on one of your other substacks, I find it ironic that conservative Republicans who were warning about Soviet methods back in the ‘60’s are now the ones who are in denial about Russian influence.
I know we will get there, but please take note of this excellent piece for tomorrow. 15 freaking years of this hellish nightmare since May 2010. I am glad to see you and Olga are starting with 2008. I also know it relates. I just need, want you both to know, my fragility coming into this horrid…untangling.
I'd like to know how many Republicons who willing Krimlen agents. Including the right wing sloptubers. American need to execute those assholes like Lord haw-haw and the Rosenbergs.
Ironically, those who I know that have been trapped in the digital manufactured misinformation/disinformation bubble often fall for ridiculous conspiracy theories and wouldn’t want to admit they’re being manipulated by a foreign adversary. The truth hurts, and sometimes it’s stranger than fiction.✌🏼♥️
I was born early 60s; I didn't know about the 60s KGB operations! I really want to share this info, but my followers expect sources. Can you add them here (I know how time consuming it is, but it is essential)? And try to add them going forward? Either embedded or listed at the end?
Thank you both for this essential information about the foreign roots of our current domestic situation.
Olga, you should teach Russian history at the college level, or maybe you do already? You make history interesting.
Haha! I actually want to teach later on and focus on Russia’s hybrid/asymmetric warfare and/or information warfare
You must have a high IQ. Were you ever tested?
Every single person in the United States should watch this video. Spells out what has been happening in this country for years. We are doomed!
I agree. SHARE! I shared with my news & radio station, Inside Addition, my family, other Substack authors, even my minister!
Now on my calendar!☝️

I’d never heard of it before.

Thanks for the info.
Excellent explanation!!!

This old Cold War gal gets it.
Old motivations, new means. Same kind of wannabe-bullies who want to feel powerful fall for it.

Wow, this brings back memories of the 1960s ! We knew about a lot of this, even back then.
Thank you, how we need this today! You have achieved your goal of clarity for sure ... quite a credible post and eager to see/listen to more!
