This is an old article (about 2001 I think) but today is certainly more pertinent than ever as criminal Russian strategy becomes clearer to the mainstream, liberal press.

BEWARE OF THE BEAR: IS RUSSIA RISING FROM THE ASHES?
“War to the hilt between Communism and capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong enough to attack. Our time will come… To win, we shall need the element of surprise. The bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard of concession. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we will smash them with our clenched fist.”
Dimitri Manuilsky, speaking at the Lenin School for Political Warfare in the 1930s.
“Political ‘liberalization’ and ‘democratization’ would follow the general lines of the Czechoslovak rehearsal in 1968. This rehearsal might well have been the kind of political experiment [KGB General] Mironov had in mind as early as 1960. The ‘liberalization’ would be spectacular and impressive. Formal pronouncements might be made about a reduction in the Communist Party’s role; its monopoly would be apparently curtailed. An ostensible separation of powers between the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary might be introduced. The Supreme Soviet would be given greater apparent power and the president and deputies greater apparent independence. The posts of president … and first secretary of the party might well be separated. The KGB would be ‘reformed.’ Dissidents at home would be amnestied; those in exile abroad would be allowed to return, and some would take up positions of leadership in government.”
KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn, New Lies for Old, 1984
“As it turned out, the crisis of August 1991 did not represent the revolutionary turning point that it was portrayed to be. A decisive break with the Soviet system of the past did not occur when the coup attempt collapsed.”
Amy Knight, Spies Without Cloaks: The KGB’s Successors, 1996
“The erosion of NATO [according to Soviet planners ] … would be completed by the withdrawal of the United States from its commitment to the defense of Europe… To this end we envisaged that it might be necessary to dissolve the Warsaw Pact, in which event we had already prepared a web of bilateral defense arrangements, to be supervised by secret committees of Comecon.”
Czech Communist defector General Jan Sejna, We Will Bury You, 1982
“I was waiting for a new general to appear, unlike any other. Or rather, a general who was like the generals I read about in books when I was young. I was waiting… Time passed, and such a general appeared. And soon after his arrival, it became obvious to our whole society how really courageous and highly professional our military people were. This ‘general’ was named Colonel Valdimir Putin.”
Boris Yeltsin, Midnight Diaries, 2000.
“Given the relatively small number of U.S. missile and bomber warheads likely to survive a Russian preemptive strike under START II, if Russia can maintain its Triad of strategic offensive and defensive forces, it will become the preeminent nuclear superpower. The Russian military and senior political officials understand this very well even if the U.S. does not.”

INTRODUCTION
Over the past 25 years (with the exception of the past few years) this writer has written more about Communism and Soviet/Chinese strategic expansion plans than any other topic except the economy, the financial system, and South Africa. This writer has long believed that Communism is not dead (i.e., look at Red China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, etc.); that the Cold War is not really over; and that the Communist powers, after a decade or so of pretending to be dead, would come back with a vengeance and threaten the West (and particularly America) with war and destruction.
MIA wrote over a dozen issues in the 1980s and first half of the 1990s about Soviet strategic deception – how the Communists had staged or manufactured the collapse or death of Communism to convince the people and governments of the West that they could massively disarm; that the West would lower its guard, even as the East Bloc intelligence services reorganized under innocuous names and massively infiltrated the West; and that through massive disinformation in the global media they were hiding the Communists’ preparations for war.
This strategic deception campaign was predicted and written about in 1981 (and published in 1984) by Anatoliy Golitsyn, a former Soviet major in the KGB in his book New Lies For Old. In that book, Golitsyn predicted the “staged” fall of Communism; the “collapse” of the Iron Curtain; the rise of such so-called “democratic reformers” as Gorbachev and Yeltsin; and a massive disinformation campaign to convince the West that the Soviet military machine (the largest then and now) had been dismantled.
In return, for this pseudo-collapse of Communism, the Communist leaders believed (according to Golitsyn) that the West would massively disarm. [ED. NOTE: Note the 50% reduction in the U.S. military from 1992 to 2000 under Bill Clinton]; that Western financial aid would pour into Russia; and that Communist intelligence agents could with virtually no resistance infiltrate every nook and cranny of America and the West. [ED. NOTE: Note the Chinese Communist infiltration of America during the Clinton years in the 1990s.]
Golitsyn also predicted that during the so-called collapse of Communism and the period of perestroika (i.e., reorganization) that followed, that America and the Western nations would share much of their military high technology with their “defeated” Communist enemies. Indeed during the Bush Senior and Clinton years this is exactly what happened – we shared most of our nuclear, missile, space, aircraft and other sophisticated military technology with Russia and Red China.
The reality is that Communism is not dead – it merely changed its name, face, organizations and key players. The powerful Communist Party of the Soviet Union is not dead – it merely went underground and runs Russia (along with the KGB and Red Army) from behind the scenes.
The KGB is not dead – it has been renamed and reorganized at least five times over the past 15 years, it is more powerful and widespread than during the pre-collapse era (often operating under the guise of the Russian mafia, business, banking, etc.); and it has infiltrated more KGB agents into America and the West in recent years than during the so-called Cold War period. Some of these operate at or near the pinnacles of power in a number of powerful Western nations including America, England, and France.
