The 109th anniversary of the Russian Revolution took place 2 days ago. Much of the evil in today’s world was set in motion by Lenin and his accomplices. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Bolsheviks strengthened the communist movement in countries across the world. After the Second World War, they infiltrated the trade unions (WFTU), the peace movement (WPC), the ecological movement, the civil rights movement, the youth and students movement (WFTY) as well as religious organizations and churches (WCC). The Soviets spent decades on subversive activities in the West and stoking third worldist hatred for the West. The primary apparatus responsible for executing political warfare, subversion, and disinformation (collectively known as "active measures" or aktivnyye meropriyatiya) was a coordinated network led by the KGB, working in tandem with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). The specific entities mainly responsible for these operations included: 1. KGB First Chief Directorate (Service A) The First Chief Directorate (FMD) was responsible for foreign intelligence. Within it, a highly specialized, covert branch known as Service A (originally Service D for disinformation) planned, coordinated, and supported active measures worldwide. Service A worked to manipulate Western public opinion, infiltrate social movements, fabricate documents, and cultivate "agents of influence" 2. The CPSU International Department (ID) While the KGB executed covert actions, the International Department of the Central Committee took a leading role in directing and implementing these strategies. The ID managed the funding, guidance, and manipulation of Soviet front organizations designed to attract well-meaning Westerners, such as the World Peace Council (WPC). Through the WPC and localized peace and ecological initiatives, the ID weaponized anti-nuclear and anti-war sentiments to paralyze Western defense policy (such as blocking the deployment of NATO's Pershing II missiles). 3. Warsaw Pact Satellite Intelligence Services The KGB relied heavily on the intelligence wings of its satellite states to expand its reach and maintain deniability. Key actors included: - The East German Stasi (HVA - Main Directorate for Reconnaissance) was highly active in infiltrating West German green, peace and anti-nuclear movements. - The Czechoslovak StB and Polish SB which coordinated closely with the KGB to establish disinformation nodes and distribute anti-Western propaganda, particularly in Africa, Asia and Latin America. 4. International Information Department (IID) Formed later within the Central Committee, the IID was tasked with overt and covert foreign propaganda. It worked alongside state media networks (like the TASS news agency) to broadcast anti-imperialist, anti-Western narratives across the developing world, painting the United States and NATO as aggressive, corrupt, and environmentally destructive. Many of the seeds planted by the Soviets in Western universities and social justice movements between 1920 and 1989 are just starting to bloom.
