Agents of Deceit (1966) haw- *1 “ ‘W- AGENTS OF DECEI~'I'" * J 4-_. $6.50 The Penkovskiy Papers Protocol M The Rubottom Airgram The Biological Warfare Fraud The Bluebird Papers The Zinoviev Instructions The Rountree Circular . THESE are the tools of modern espionage, the “black arts” - some of the frauds, forgeries, and suspect documents that Paul Blackstock unmasks in this startling new book about political intrigue among nations. Mr. Blackstock thoroughly exposes the Cold War “paper mills” and the “personalized intelli- gence” hijinks of such adventurers as Colonel Ilius Amoss and Kenneth de Courcy, who man- aged to penetrate Washington with “vital facts” in 1964 while serving time in a British prison. The author’s evaluation of the recent Penkovskiy Pa- pers provides a fascinating insight into the shad- owy area of fraud and leads to the suspicion that American agencies are promoting counter-espio- nage propaganda with Madison Avenue effective- ness. These tactics of subversion are centuries old, as Mr. Blackstock explains in his discussion of the “Testament of Peter the Great” and that lingering canard, the “Protocols of Zion.” He carefully re- constructs the events surrounding the Zinoviev Instructions, which blocked American recognition of the USSR in the 1920's, and the Zinoviev Let- ter, which toppled a British Prime Minister. (continued on back flap) (continued from front flap) These case studies help dissolve the thick mist of legend that surrounds famous historical figures and events, and shows how today’s agents of deceit operate. More important, the author’s analysis poses serious questions for all govemments and sounds a clarion call for caution by diplomats responsible for the fate of nations. Evidence man- ufactured by nations determined to win political warfare at all costs can frequently backfire. Gov- ernments can be victimized by their own strate- gies. As Mr. Blackstock points out, “in political warfare, as in wartime, the first casualty is truth.” PAUL BLACl(sTOCl(’s previous book, The Strategy of Subversion, was widely acclaimed (see back of jacket) and established his reputation as “the thinking man’s James Bond” in the real world of power and intrigue. A former military intelligence specialist with the U.S. government, Mr. Black- stock has actual experience in covert operations in Europe during and after World War II. His other books include translations of Karl Marx’s The Russian Menace to Europe and Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s We Never Make Mistakes. He now teaches in the Department of International Studies at the University of South Carolina. COVER ILLUSTRATION BY DON WILSON -I" QUADRANGLE BOOKS, Inc.

The Soviet and Communist Bloc Defamation Campaign 277 NOTES 287 INDEX 311 AGENTS OF DECEIT 1 INTRODUCTION N H I s Gateway to History, Allan Nevins writes that “Mankind dearly loves a good story and dearly loves to believe it true.” Thus gen- erations of Americans have accepted as true Parson Weems’s invented tale of the boy George Washington chopping down a young cherry tree and confessing to his father that he had done so because he could not tell a lie. Similar apocryphal stories become the thick mist of legend that surrounds famous historical gures. Sometimes the legendary material is deliberately created over a period of years, as in the Soviet cult of Stalin, exposed and denounced by his successors after his death. This kind of legend-building and the inventions on which it is based are familiar to historians and present few problems that patient research cannot resolve, provided adequate sources-— archives, personal memoirs, and such—are available. Moreover, most hoaxes, which range from April Fool pranks to literary inventions, are relatively harmless. For the most part they provide the originator with amusement, and frequently prot, as exempli- ed in the long and lucrative career of the American impresario, P. T. Barnum. However, a popular study of some ve hundred Hoaxes by Curtis D. MacDougal indicates not only that human 13 I4 Aonurs o1= DECEIT gullibility is almost limitless but that a wide variety of frauds and forgeries have played a considerable role in shaping public opinion and occasionally the actual course of contemporary events. The detection and exposure of fraudulent or forged evidence is, of course, important to the courts if justice is to be done. The detection of historical frauds and forgeries is important to the establishment of historical truth, although few historians would accept without reservation MacDougal’s sweeping generalization that “throughout history, mobs have been formed and become hysterical, governments have fallen; reputations have been made and destroyed; international relations have been strained, and wars have been fought, all as a result of hoaxes which were exposed too late.” A hoax may be dened as “a deliberately concocted untruth made to masquerade as truth,” and frequently involves the inven- tion of written materials. These may range from the so-called “runic” inscriptions on the Kensington Stone (designed to prove that Norsemen had journeyed as far as Kensington, Minnesota, 150 years before Columbus reached the West Indies) to forged letters, telegrams, “oicial” government documents, personal mem- oirs, or even entire histories. A classic example of the latter is Father Hennepin’s journal, New Discovery of a Vast Country in America, in which he claimed to have reached the lower waters of the Mississippi two years before LaSalle. The term “forgery” is usually applied to specic documents that are falsely represented as having been written by someone other than the person (or persons) who invent them. The broader terms “fraud” or “fraudulent” are used to describe deliberately falsied and invented matter which may be mixed with a sub- stratum of truth. The element of motive is important in determin- ing whether the charge of “fraudulent” is applicable, not the mere presence of false information. As frequently happens in the case of an accident, there may be wide discrepancies in the reports of several eyewitnesses to the event—without any of them intend- ing to deceive. Only when an observer introduces deliberately invented or false information with intent to deceive can his testi- mony be properly labelled as fraudulent. (I shall not be con- cerned here with the judicial problem of weighing evidence.) The frauds and forgeries in this collection of case studies all Introduction 1 5 have one thing in common: they are either of Russian origin or concern Russia, from the time of Peter the Great to the present Soviet regime. Under both the tsars and the Soviets, Russia has been one of the most controversial actors on the European and recently the world political scene. Since the Bolshevik seizure of power in November 1917, the Westem world has been preoccupied with the threat of com- munism as a secular religion and revolutionary faith. Concern with the “Red Peril” has tended to obscure the older and more basic problem of Russia’s place in the European state system and the menace to that system of tsarist Russian expansion and ambitions.

This research, however, is based for the most part on primary sources, specifically on the records declassified in the United States in 2007 as a consequence of the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. The majority of the historiography on this topic either predates or neglects these records. The study of covert operations inside the Iron Curtain during the early Cold War, sponsored by Western states using émigré agents, usually ends with the conclusion that these operations were a failure, both in operational terms and from the point of view of the intelligence gathered.

It became so influential DICTIONARY OF in Soviet politics that several of its directors moved on to become premiers of the Soviet Union. In fact, Russian president Vladimir V. Putin is a former head of the KGB. The GRU (Glavnoe Razvedvitelnoe Upravleniye) is the principal intelligence unit of the Russian armed forces, having been established in 1920 by Leon Trotsky during the Russian civil war. It was the first subordinate to the KGB, and although the KGB broke up with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the GRU remains intact, cohesive, highly efficient, and with far greater resources than its civilian counterparts. & The KGB and GRU are just two of the many Russian and Soviet intelli- gence agencies covered in Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Intelligence. Through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries, a clear picture of this subject is presented. Entries also cover Russian and Soviet leaders, leading intelligence and security officers, the Lenin and Stalin purges, the gulag, and noted espionage cases. INTELLIGENCE Robert W.

  • Active Measures: the Secret History of Disinformation & Political
    Active Measures: The Secret History of Disinformation & Political Warfare | Thomas Rid Philosophers have only interpreted the world. The point, May 25th, 2020 however, is to change it. — Karl Marx INTRODUCTION Thomas Rid is Professor of Strategic Studies at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies. Rid’s latest book, Active Measures, a startling history of disinformation, was published in late April 2020 with Farrar, Straus and Giroux (also in Russian, Japanese, Polish). His most recent book, Rise of the Machines (2016), tells the sweeping story of how cybernetics, a late- 1940s theory of machines, came to incite anarchy and war (also in Chinese, Russian, German, Japanese, Turkish). His 2015 article “Attributing Cyber Attacks” was designed to explain, guide, and improve the identification of network breaches (Journal of Strategic Studies 2015). In 2013 he published the widely-read book Cyber War Will Not Take Place. Rid’s Ph.D. thesis, “War and Media Operations: The US Military and the Press from Vietnam to Iraq,” was the first academic analysis of the role of embedded media in the 2003 Iraq War, providing a concise history of US military public affairs management since Vietnam. Rid testified on information security in front of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence as well as in the German Bundestag and the UK Parliament. From 2011 to 2016, Rid was a professor in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London. Between 2003 and 2010, he worked at major think tanks in Berlin, Paris, Jerusalem, and Washington, DC. Rid holds a PhD from Humboldt University in Berlin.

  • The Soviet Union and the British General Strike of 1926 Alastair Kocho-Williams University of the West of England, Bristol [email protected]
    The Soviet Union and the British General Strike of 1926 Alastair Kocho-Williams University of the West of England, Bristol [email protected] This paper addresses the Soviet analysis and response to the British General Strike of 1926 in the light of newly available documents. The recently discovered and published stenograms of Politburo meetings provide new information concerning Soviet politics and the political process. Previously, scholars have had only Soviet official documents and protocols of Politburo meetings, which only detail participants with a brief summary of decisions (vypuski) along with who received these summaries.1 From the protocols, and other sources, scholars were aware that verbatim stenograms existed, some of which were published and distributed to Central Committee members and other party leaders with instructions for them to be returned after they had been read.2 Amongst the ‘lost Politburo stenograms’ is the record of a lengthy, heated, discussion of the ‘lessons of the British General Strike’ on 3 June 1926.3 It is this that the current paper is chiefly concerned with, detailing the Soviet stance towards the General Strike, inconsistency in the Soviet analysis, the extent to which Soviet internal politics was linked to foreign policy, how as senior figures disagreed factions developed around divisions in policy, and the way in which the handling of the international situation formed a strand of the opposition to Stalin and the Politburo majority in 1926.4 The British General Strike ran from 4-12 May 1926. Although it drew British industry to a halt, and hadn’t been planned much in advance, there had been ample warning of a coming labour dispute, of which the British and Soviet Governments were well aware, although the Soviets had concluded that major action was unlikely I am grateful to Paul Gregory and Alexander Vatlin for their assistance in the writing of this paper.
