Denying the massive role of imperialist subversion...
The loud forever-repeated lies about the “Stalin repressions” are a signal example of an all-important weapon in the imperialist ideological arsenal: minimizing, if not altogether dismissing, the role of imperialist “secret services” in subversion, terror, murder – including mass murder - and overthrow of governments.
No, the role of the CIA and other countries' “intelligence services” is not entirely denied. Imperialist propagandists and their innumerable me-too lapdogs do not deny that there is an American CIA, a British Secret Intelligence Service, etc., or that the German Nazis had their Gestapo.
The undercover boys (and a few girls) are there, all right. They do their secret thing, whatever it is – wearing a slouch hat and spying, dumping sedative in an opponent's bourbon, and the like. But on a grand scale, they are hardly very important. Kind of a sidelight to the realpolitik.
In the imperialist media, exposes of the CIA, etc. sometimes appear. Stimulating reading... maybe. Usually something in the deep dark past, which may be titillating, may even evoke a gasp, maybe a shudder. Or may inspire veneration for the brilliant exploits of our boys (and a few girls) socking it to the “enemy.”
But nothing really serious.
And for those who assert that the Gestapo, CIA, etc. played/play a crucial – not infrequently decisive – role in imperialist politics are casually dismissed as “conspiracy mongers-theorists.”

All of the above is utter fakery. It goes hand-in-hand with the loudly advertised depiction of the United States of America and other imperialist powers as somehow “democratic:” OK, the CIA, for instance, may overdo it now and then, but on the whole they operate within the moral and legal confines of the American system of fair play, human rights, democracy and the rest. Did the CIA torture sometimes? Sure, they occasionally may play dirty, but it's nothing to worry about. They solemnly promise to do better in the future, so let it be.
In my series “Dictatorship USA.” I have written in considerable detail about the massive role of the American “secret services” - that is, the monstrous United States lie, spy, criminal, provocation, subversion and regime change, terror, drug-runnning, torture, war and mass murder apparatus – within the United States itself.
What the CIA and its helpmates do beyond the confines of the US is beyond the realm of the horrendous. And while the US is the most vicious practitioner of police state and subversive activities, it is far from the only such culprit.
As former CIA chief Allen Dulles noted, the role of the “secret intelligence services” in implementing imperialist policy is as important as the military. Imagine writing a history of international relations and paying scant attention to military threats and actual wars!
Nothing, absolutely nothing prevents the CIA and its vicious cousins throughout the imperialist world from conducting mass subversive operations in country after country, year after year. The “intelligence communities” of imperialist governments always have been and are an integral part of government, and thus lavish funding is on hand to finance a huge staff, to pay off collaborators, for the latest technological resources and whatever else is needed. Proclamations about “democracy,” “human rights,” legal or constitutional “restraints” are simply propaganda devices to hide brutal truths.
There is in fact nothing to stop imperialist “intelligence” from conducting anti-human, ruinous programs. At home. And in foreign country after country. There was nothing to stop imperialist “intelligence” from conducting anti-human, ruinous programs against socialism and the Soviet Union.

Recruiting collaborators...
It should not be presumed that the CIA et al. experience any major problems recruiting lots and lots of collaborators. Whether at home or abroad.
The world, unfortunately, is not short of corruptible people. For many hundreds of millions of people, life is very hard, and for some easy money from the imperialist west may be hard to turn down. Then there are those who have ideological – such as anti-communism - differences or gripes/grievances with the government of the target country. Or agents like Троцкий with huge personal ambitions...

The enemy within/outside the Soviet Union...
The major political disruptions and widespread economic sabotage that occurred in the USSR in the 1920s and 1930s were almost entirely the product of foreign-directed subversion. For world and former domestic Russian capitalism, this lavishly financed and well organized treasonous activity was completely “normal.” It was the logical – and class-dictated – response to the failed (for them) foreign intervention in the mis-named “Russian Civil War” and a prelude to the forthcoming huge attack by the German Nazis and their allies in June, 1941.
The subsequent brutally and murderously distorted repressions likewise were the product not of Joseph Stalin, but of Nazi-directed corrupt and venal agents who slaughtered large numbers of innocent Soviet citizens. In order to disrupt economic progress and to incite the population, especially minority nationalities, against the government. The НКВД was supposed to be the first line of defense against anything of the sort happening. In fact, the Soviet secret service had been taken over by the worst enemies of the socialist revolution!
It would be only logical to assume that the “intelligence services” of several imperialist countries – including the most “democratic” (!) - coordinated their activities in these gruesome endeavors. We do not know the details, which may well be permanently hidden. Clearly, in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, the Hitlerites assumed the main foreign orchestrating role. That the “democratic” imperialist countries would cooperate with the savage Nazis should come as no surprise, as anti-sovietism was a shared credo and US, British, French, etc. relations with Hitler at that time were nothing less than warmly supportive.
When Stalin and the government learned what was happening, they put a stop to the murders and legally prosecuted and punished the main identifiable culprits.
«Сталинские репрессии» - это ложь!
«Сталинские репрессии» - дело нацистов, империализма со своими союзниками и агентами!

Правительство США еще нарушает мои права, в течении 15 лет отказывается от выплаты причитающейся мне пенсии по старости. Властители США воруют пенсию!!
ФСБ - Федеральная служба «безопасности» России - вслед за позорным, предавшим страну предшественником КГБ, мерзко выполняет приказы секретного, кровавого хозяина (boss) - американского ЦРУ (CIA). Среди таких «задач» - мне запретить выступать в СМИ и не пропускать отправленных мне комментариев. А это далеко не всё...
