Fully dealing with communism over­ runs the possibilities of every individual former communist state. The aims that arise out of communism’s ideology were global – infiltration, subversion, and domination of the free and democratic parts of the world. Communist states’ intelligence services, first and foremost the Soviet KGB, played a signifi cant role in meeting this target. The aforementioned founded, dominated, and man­ aged the intelligence services of the communist bloc states, following its own role model. Unfortunately, 17 years after the fall of communism, the former Soviet archives are still inaccessible in contemporary Russia. But to understand the events in present-day Russia and the situation in Central and Eastern Europe, it is necessary to analyze communism in the leading communist power, the former Soviet Union. We are led by the common aim to shed light on the whole truth about communism. On the basis of the sources that are now at our disposal after long efforts, we have arranged to realize an international conference about „NKVD/KGB Activities and its Cooperation with other Secret Services in Central and Eastern Europe 1945 – 1989“ for a scholarly public, from 14 to 16 November 2007 in Bratislava, Slovak Republic. This conference represents the next step in our cooperation and the fi rst step in arranging common enterprises in connection with the aforementioned topic.

    THE FOREIGN TRADE REGIME IN THE COMECON COUNTRIES TODAY KAzmuExz GRzmows~i* I. THE ScoPE OF REFORM Recently, in three important aspects, foreign trade techniques in socialist Europe were changed significantly. Economic expan- sion, the growing sophistication of national economies in the en- tire area and the need for closer cooperation, both among the members of the Council for Mutual Economic Aid (hereinafter Comecon) and with the free economy countries, have rendered the system of artificial separation of import and export activities from the production of goods obsolete. Accordingly, foreign trade has been made largely the responsibility of the producers again in an effort to involve them directly in more efficient competition for foreign consumers.'

Das achte ”Buchenwald-Gespräch” fand Ende Oktober 1998 in Berlin in Verbindung mit der Gedenkstätte Hohenschönhausen statt. Hohenschönhausen ist ein authentischer Ort der kommunistischen Willkürjustiz und politischen Strafverfolgung. Die Gebäude der ehemaligen Großküche wurden nach Kriegsende von der sowjetischen Besatzungsmacht als Internierungslager für NSDAP- Mitglieder und NS-Verdächtige genutzt. Nach Auflösung des ”Speziallagers Nr. 3” diente Hohenschönhausen als zentrales sowjetisches Untersuchungsgefängnis für politisch- ideologische Gegner. 1950 richtete dort das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit eine zentrale Untersuchungshaftanstalt für politische Häftlinge ein. Der Rundgang unter Führung ehemaliger Häftlinge ließ die bedrückende Atmosphäre, Isolation und seelische Zermürbung lebendig werden, der die Insassen ausgesetzt waren. Im Mittelpunkt der Vorträge stand die Verfolgung der Regimegegner durch die SED in den fünfziger, siebziger und achtziger Jahren. Eine Auswahl der Beiträge ist in dieser Broschüre abgedruckt.

    Name _______________________________________________ Date _____________ The Brezhnev Era (1964–1982) Next to Stalin, Leonid Brezhnev ruled the Soviet Union longer than any other leader.

Brezhnev strengthened the Soviet bureaucracy as well What was its as the KGB (Committee of State Security)—formed in purpose? (list 2) 1954; its mission was to defend the Soviet government from its enemies at home and abroad. The KGB suppressed dissidents who spoke out against the government at home and in the satellite countries. The Soviets also invested in a large military buildup and were determined to never again suffer a humiliating defeat, as happened in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Yet Brezhnev proceeded cautiously in the mid-1960s and sought to avoid confrontation with the West. He was determined, however, to protect Soviet interests. Brezhnev Doctrine (1968) 2. What was the Prague In 1968, Alexander Dubček (1921–1992) became head of the Czechoslovakia Spring? Communist Party and began a series of reforms known as the Prague Spring reforms, which sought to make communism more humanistic. He lifted censorship, permitted non-communists to form political groups, and wanted to trade with the West, but still remain true to communist ideals. Brezhnev viewed these reforms as a capitalistic threat to the socialist ideologies of communism and, in August of 1968, sent over 500,000 Soviet and Eastern European troops 3. How did Brezhnev to occupy Czechoslovakia. In the Brezhnev Doctrine, he defended the Soviet react to the Prague military invasion of Czechoslovakia, saying in effect, that antisocialist elements Spring? in a single socialist country can compromise the entire socialist system, and thus other socialist countries have the right to intervene militarily if they see the need to do so.

  • Yalta Conference
    Yalta Conference 1 The Conference All three leaders were attempting to establish an agenda for governing post-war Europe. They wanted to keep peace between post-world war countries. On the Eastern Front, the front line at the end of December 1943 re- mained in the Soviet Union but, by August 1944, So- viet forces were inside Poland and parts of Romania as part of their drive west.[1] By the time of the Conference, Red Army Marshal Georgy Zhukov's forces were 65 km (40 mi) from Berlin. Stalin’s position at the conference was one which he felt was so strong that he could dic- tate terms. According to U.S. delegation member and future Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, "[i]t was not a question of what we would let the Russians do, but what Yalta Conference in February 1945 with (from left to right) we could get the Russians to do.”[2] Moreover, Roosevelt Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin. Also hoped for a commitment from Stalin to participate in the present are Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov (far left); United Nations. Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Andrew Cunningham, RN, Marshal of the RAF Sir Charles Portal, RAF, Premier Stalin, insisting that his doctors opposed any (standing behind Churchill); General George C.

  • The Fifth User January 28
    UNCLASSIFIED The Fifth User January 28 Project VENONA is now well known publicly. VENONA refers to Soviet espionage messages that were solved in part or in whole by the U.S. cryptologic services. The Soviet cryptosystem was based on a one-time pad that was misused, and therefore vulnerable to American cryptanalysts. The cryptosystem was used by the USSR’s diplomatic service and its office for acquiring lend-lease equipment from the United States during World War II. This Soviet system was in use from 1941 to 1945, but was not solved until the late 1940s, after the war, and the most usable product based on the decrypts was issued in the 1950s. In addition, the cryptosystem was used by the espionage organization best known as the KGB. When people think of VENONA decrypts, they most often mean KGB communications. However, there were other users of the flawed system. The fifth user of the cryptosystem was known in English as GRU-Naval. Its communications referred to espionage operations controlled by the Naval Intelligence headquarters in Moscow. The senior representative in the U.S. was Captain, later Commodore, I. A. Egorichev, the USSR’s naval attaché in Washington. During his career he had commanded a destroyer in the Soviet’s Baltic fleet, and had served as naval attaché in Tokyo. In addition to legal duties in his overt position, Captain Egorichev conducted intelligence activities against the United States. The GRU-Naval cryptosystem worked in the same way the KGB and GRU systems did. Message text was encoded into numbers from a codebook, then the numbers were superenciphered with numbers from a one-time pad.
