Oleg Kalugin
The Battle for Hearts and Minds
According to Oleg Kalugin: "Soviet Intelligence was really unparalleled…
![Page 54: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
a KGB programme which would run all sorts of congresses, peace congresses, youth congresses, festivals, women's movements, trade
union movements, campaigns against the US in Europe…

allegations that AIDS was invented by the CIA, all sorts of forgeries and fake materials were targeted at politicians, the academic
community and at the public at large."
![Page 56: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Toppling Governments and Setting up Puppet Regimes
The KGB was involved in undermining and installing governments.
![Page 57: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
The KGB played a key role in installing puppet communist regimes throughout Eastern Europe,
![Page 58: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
the Peoples Republic of China,
![Page 59: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
North Korea and Afghanistan.

The KGB coordinated mass political repressions and the establishment
of subordinate secret services in all occupied territories.
![Page 61: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
The last attempted coup organised by the KGB in the uprising against Boris Yeltsin during the Russian constitutional crises of 1993, led to the
abolition of the KGB and its replacement with the Federal Security Service and the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
![Page 62: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Agent Provocateurs
One of the tactics used by the KGB was an Agent Provocateur (inciting agent).
![Page 63: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
index An Agent Provocateur is an undercover agent who acts to entice another person to commit an illegal, or rash act, or falsely implicates
others in taking part in the illegal act.
![Page 64: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
The goal of the Agent Provocateur is to discredit, or harm, another group by provoking them to commit a crime, or implicating them in a
crime to undermine the group, protest, or movement, as a whole.
![Page 65: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
In the Trust Operation (1921-1926) the Soviets
set up fake anti-Bolshevik underground organisations,
including the Monarchist Union of Central Russia,
to control and neutralise monarchists and other
counter-revolutionaries.

Assassination Attempt
The KGB was also implicated in Mehmet Ali Agca's 1981 assassination attempt against pope John Paul II because of his strong links
with the anti-Communist Solidarity Movement in Poland.

America Under FDR
The GRU (Military Intelligence of the Soviet Union) recruited Alger Hiss, an American lawyer
and State Department official, who later was
the first General Secretary of the United Nations.
![Page 90: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Alger Hiss was identified by Whittaker Chambers, a former Communist
Party member.
![Page 91: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)

Chambers also identified Laurence Duggan and Michael Straight in the State Department and Harry Dexter White in the Treasury
Department, as Soviet Agents.

The Profumo Scandal
The Profumo scandal which brought down Harold McMillan's Conservative government in Great Britain
![Page 94: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
and brought the Labour Party to power in the 1964 general election,
![Page 95: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
was a masterful example of KGB Active Measures,
including entrapment, propaganda and assassination.
![Page 96: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
John Profumo was the Secretary of State for War in Britain.
![Page 97: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
He was involved for a short time in an affair
with Christine Keeller, a 19 year old model,
![Page 98: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
who was also the girlfriend of Captain
Yevgeny Ivanhov, the Soviet Naval Attaché.
![Page 99: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Timing and Assassination
Although this affair had ended in 1961, the KGB Active Measures timed the publication of the scandal
for 1963, just before the general elections.
![Page 100: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
With the Conservative government disgraced by this public scandal, the way was clear for Hugh Todd Gaitskell, the leader of the Labour
Party to become the next prime minister of Great Britain.
![Page 101: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
The abrupt and strange death of Gaitskell, at age 56, left an opening for Harold Wilson to exploit and seize control of the Labour Party and
therefore become the next Prime Minister of Great Britain.
![Page 102: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Peter Wright's 1987 book, Spycatcher and Soviet defector, Anatoliy Golitsyn, claimed that Gaitskell was assassinated by the KGB in order to place their agent of influence, Harold Wilson, (codename: Oldman)
into the key position of Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Wilson oversaw the disastrous betrayal of Rhodesia and other key aspects of the British Common-wealth, as well as the implosion of the
British economy and escalation of the war in Northern Ireland.

The Most Destructive Force in Modern History
It is unlikely that any other Intelligence agency in history has been responsible for as many arrests, tortures, imprisonments, murders,
massacres, assassinations, launching of foreign wars, sponsoring and training of foreign terrorist movements, toppling of governments and
funding of so many revolutionary movements worldwide.
![Page 113: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Mass Murder
The Black Book of Communism catalogues over 100 Million
deaths between 1917 and 1991 alone, caused by communist governments, most of them
controlled by the Soviet Union, or its agents.
![Page 114: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
If one was to add the casualties of the
Wars of Liberation, and revolutions sponsored
worldwide by the Soviet Union and
carried out by its KGB, the body count could double.

The Vision of Daniel
"But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets… This great image, whose splendour was excellent, stood… a Stone was cut out without
hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces…
![Page 117: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
And the Stone that struck the image became a great mountain
and filled the whole earth… And in the days of these kings the
God of Heaven will set up a Kingdom which shall never be
destroyed;
![Page 118: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people;
it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever."
Daniel 2:28-44

The Lord Jesus Christ declared:
"The Stone which the builders rejected has

Lubyanka building with statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky – KGB headquarters
In Lubyanka Square, a huge statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Cheka, which later became the KGB,
was erected in 1958.
The Statue and the Stone
![Page 122: KGB, Active Measures, Disinformation and Subversion](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042423/55d6bddfbb61eb01778b4573/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
This statue was directly in front of the Lubyanka, the notorious Headquarters of the KGB, wherein many Christians were interrogated,
tortured and murdered.

In 1991, the statue of Dzerzhinsky was removed

and a simple stone

from the Solovki Monastery from Solovetski Island,

which had been the first prototype Concentration Camp of the Soviet Union,
