THE PERESTROlKA DECEPTION v InMemory of Jint Angleton Founderand outstandingchief oftheCentral Intelligence Agency's Counter-intelligence, a manofvision and courage, a warriorand comrade-in-arms, whorecognised thedangersof theSoviets' newstrategic challenge VI THE PERESTROIKA DECEPTION ABOUT THE AUTHOR AnatoliyGolitsyn was born in the Ukrainein 1926. While a cadetin military school, he was awarded a Sovietmedal 'For the defenceof Moscow in the GreatPatriotic War' fordigginganti-tanktrenches near Moscow.

In the same year, he joined the KGB, in which he studied and served until 1%1. He graduated from the Moscow School of Military Counter-espionage, the counterintelligence faculty of the High Intelligence School, and the University of Marxism-Leninism and completed a correspondence course with the High Diplo­ maticSchool. In 1952 and early 1953 he was involvedwith a friend in drawing up a proposaltotheCentralCommittee on thereorganisation ofSoviet intelligence. In connection with this proposal he attended a meeting of the secretariat chairedby Stalinand a meetingof the Presidiumchairedby Malenkov and attended by Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Bulganin. In 1952-53 he worked briefly as head of a sectionresponsible forcounter-espionage againstthe UnitedStates. In 1959 he grad­ uated with a law degreefroma four-year courseat the KGB Institute(nowthe KGB Academy) in Moscow. From1959 to 1960, at a timewhen Sovietlong-range strategywas beingfor­ mulated and the KGB was being reorganised to play its part in it, he served as a senioranalystin the NATO sectionofthe Information Departmentof theSoviet intel­ ligence service.

For over thirty years, the Author has submitted Memoranda to the Central Intelligence Agency, in which he has provided the Agency with timelyand largely accurateforecasts ofSovietBloc developments and on the evolution ofSoviet/Russ­ ian/Communist strategy. Byapplying the dialectical methodology whichdrivesthe strategy, the Author has been able to score innumerable 'bulls-eyes'.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 William Styles Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge September 2016 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy William Styles British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 This thesis is concerned with an analysis of British governmental attitudes and responses to communism in the United Kingdom during the early years of the Cold War, from the election of the Attlee government in July 1945 up until the election of the Wilson government in October 1964. Until recently the topic has been difficult to assess accurately, due to the scarcity of available original source material. However, as a result of multiple declassifications of both Cabinet Office and Security Service files over the past five years it is now possible to analyse the subject in greater depth and detail than had been previously feasible. The work is predominantly concerned with four key areas: firstly, why domestic communism continued to be viewed as a significant threat by successive governments – even despite both the ideology’s relatively limited popular support amongst the general public and Whitehall’s realisation that the Communist Party of Great Britain presented little by way of a direct challenge to British political stability. Secondly, how Whitehall’s understanding of the nature and severity of the threat posed by British communism developed between the late 1940s and early ‘60s, from a problem considered mainly of importance only to civil service security practices to one which directly impacted upon the conduct of educational policy and labour relations.

The normalization of Yugoslav-Soviet relations brought to an end a conflict between Yugoslavia and the Eastern Bloc, in existence since 1948, which threatened the status quo in Europe. The thesis represents the first effort at comprehensively presenting the reconciliation between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, between 1953 and 1957. It will also explain the motives that guided the leaderships of the two countries, in particular the two main protagonists, Josip Broz Tito and Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev, throughout this process.

    COVERT NETWORKS A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES USED BY FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TO WEAPONIZE SOCIAL MEDIA by Sarah Ogar A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland December 2019 2019 Sarah Ogar All Rights Reserved Abstract From the Bolshevik Revolution to the Brexit Vote, the covert world of intelligence has attempted to influence global events with varying degrees of success. In 2016, one of the most brazen manifestations of Russian intelligence operations was directed against millions of Americans when they voted to elect a new president. Although this was not the first time that Russia attempted to influence an American presidential election, it was undoubtedly the largest attempt in terms of its scope and the most publicized to date. Although much discussion has followed the 2016 election, there have not been much concerted historical analysis which situates the events of 2016 within the global timeline of foreign intelligence collection. This paper argues that the onset of social media has altered intelligence collection in terms of its form, but not in terms of its essence. Using the case study method, this paper illustrates how three different nations apply classical intelligence techniques to the modern environment of social media. This paper examines how China has utilized classical agent recruitment techniques through sites like LinkedIn, how Iran has used classical honey trap techniques through a combination of social media sites, and how Russia has employed the classical tactics of kompromat, forgery, agents of influence and front groups in its modern covert influence campaigns.

    A Common Misunderstanding About Capitalism and Communism Through the Eyes of Innovation

    Economic Thought 7.2: 1-14, 2018 A Common Misunderstanding about Capitalism and Communism Through the Eyes of Innovation Dirk-Hinnerk Fischer and Hovhannes Yeritsyan, Ragnar Nurske School of Innovation and Governance Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia and Department of Agricultural Economics, Texas A&M University, USA [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract This paper argues that theories of communism and capitalism should not be considered as opposites or alternatives, but rather systems that satisfy different stages of humanity’s technological development. The argument derives from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and a focus on the role of innovation within systems. Some argue that capitalism focuses on the lower, and communism on the higher, layers of the hierarchy – which lays the basis for their inability to compete in different periods. Keywords: capitalism, innovation, communism, Maslow, development of economic thought JEL-Codes: B14, O15 1. Introduction This paper’s objective is to show that communism and capitalism should not be seen as competing systems, but rather as economic systems for potentially successive periods in human development. The analysis takes a different path from the usual argument that communism is only possible if socialism changes the human tendency towards selfishness. In this paper, socialism is understood to be that which Marx called the lower stage of communism (Marx, 2010). We argue that capitalism, as a system whose core purpose it is to provide services and material goods to satisfy material and basic Maslowian needs, is a system that fails to support the will and ability of persons to strive to satisfy their higher Maslowian needs.

Nor is history the mere study of the past. History is a process of imaginative reconstruction and interpretation of the past. It is the critical investigation of both the sources that the past has left behind and what historians have written about the past. Students of history come to appreciate the relative nature of historical knowledge. Each generation produces history that reflects its own preoccupations and the new evidence that becomes available. History offers opportunities for empathetic understanding, but also develops the capacity for critical distance.

St3l1n commit American power to save South Korea from Communist aggression in late June 1950 stands as perhaps America's finest moment of the Cold War. By making a difficult commitment, by sacrificing 50,000 American lives in the end, Truman upheld Western values and interests where they were directly threatened. It is easy to overlook the unpopularity and unpleasantness of a war which, though necessary, nevertheless remains unknown to most Americans today. Our sacrifices in Korea beginning in the disastrous summer of 1950 merit recognition and honor in their own right, yet they deserve our attention for another reason almost completely neglected in accounts of the period.
