“KGB ideological subversion refers to a strategy outlined by Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB agent who defected to the West. This strategy was designed to undermine the internal stability of countries, particularly those in the Western bloc, to make them more susceptible to Soviet influence or control. Here are the key aspects based on Bezmenov’s descriptions:
Crisis (up to 6 weeks): This is a short, intense period where the destabilization culminates in a crisis, potentially involving a political coup, economic collapse, or social upheaval, leading to a significant change in power dynamics.”
Russian influence at the UN only extends to their choice of vodka..
Or so they tell us
Yuri Bezmenov was NOT a KGB officer, nor did he claim to be. He was an actual TASS correspondent. He did defect to the USA. With no actual intelligence to share, he was quickly cut loose by American intel agencies, to make his own way in the USA.
The John Birch Society met him, and he learned what they wanted to hear, and said that.
Bezmenov is known because of a series of videos the John Birchers made of him giving his Bircher schpiel.
As a TASS correspondent, Bezmenov would have had zero access to any strategic plans of the KGB, or the USSR. His commentary is a combination of his observations of what actual KGB officers did (they worked with him, using TASS as a cover), and the John Birch beliefs.
