Counter revolution and destruction of the Soviet Union were the decades-long product of brutal wars and intense conspiracy, threats and widespread subversion. Nothing was more important for world imperialism – above all for the United States of America – than overthrowing the first and most powerful socialist state.
These foul and murderous assaults began with the massive foreign military invasion of Russia almost immediately after the successful October socialist revolution. The mis-named “Civil War” - Гражданская война (1917-1922) was first and foremost enormous and bloody foreign intervention, with the US also sending troops. Domestic counter-revolutionaries participated in the frightful massacre, but they would have been a minor force without widespread imperialist incitement, mobilization, funds and plentiful supplies of arms and munitions.
All-around massive imperialist – first of all, US – instigation, abetment and support of the incredibly brutal Nazi government and military machine was another villainous attempt to destroy the socialist USSR. (See my series of posts (“Америка и Фашизм» и «Как США и Англия тайно финансировали Гитлера и его поход на СССР».)
All of this and more – including forcing the Soviet Union to engage in an expensive large-scale arms race after World War II – took their toll. But the ultimately decisive counter-revolutionary force was internal subversion; the Soviet Union was “conquered” from within.
While the USSR, led by Lenin and then Stalin, had mass popular support, far from everyone supported the socialist revolution. It was not difficult for western, above all US, “intelligence” services to recruit and direct an army of perfidious assets in a decades-long subversive campaign within the Soviet Union.
In the 1930s, overt internal disruption, sabotage and diversion in the USSR were largely stymied. But it was far from a permanent accomplishment. For the most part, imperialist-led agents simply retreated, becoming “model” - even exceptionally harsh “communists” - while never abandoning their anti-soviet strivings.
These covert subversive forces included the Soviet secret services, the НКВД and its successor the КГБ (and now the CIA-directed ФСБ in Russia). Thus it stands to reason that some innocent people were caught up in anti-subversion campaign - while many traitorous elements not only survived but gained additional influence and power in society. The mass media was – and remains to this day - in the hands of CIA agents like Владимир Познер and many others of that ilk.
Josef Stalin's death in 1953 provided the impetus for anti-Soviet elements to gain the upper hand in the USSR. CIA agent Никита Хрущёв - Nikita Khrushchev's ludicrously distorted, slanderous and vicious denuciation of Stalin (at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956) marked a decisive point in the ascension to power of pro-imperialist forces in the USSR. Honest communists were forced out of the Party. The time was not then ripe, however, for immediate counter-revolution. The Soviet people, fiercely proud of their socialist achievements and their great victory over Nazi Germany and its allies, then would have resisted the mass impoverishment and humiliation accompanying the abject sellout of their country to US-NATO countries' imperialism.
Yet the stage was set for Горбачев, Ельцин, Гайдар, Яковлев and many more thousands of imperialist-led agents to take over the reins of the Party, government and key institutions in the country. And to weaken and compromise the USSR in preparation for total counter-revolution.
Not neglected in the anti-Soviet subversion campaign was augmentation from the outside. The “Voice of America,” “Radio Free Europe,” foreign popularization of “dissidents,” etc. also played their mass propaganda role and served as intelligence links with internal saboteurs.

Where does Arnold Lockshin fit into all of this?
My projected role as an unwitting tool in the final stage of the overthrow of the Soviet Union was a minor – but not insignificant - one. A thousand Arnold Lockshins or no Arnold Lockshin – counter-revolution was a certainty. It is nonetheless useful to examine this case more deeply and thereby gain further insight about how the ultra-insidious, monstrous and massive US-led subversion machine operates.
What should immediately stand out is the enormous effort, energy and money at the disposal of the US Gestapo to condition just a single secondary and virtually unknown figure for his projected unwilling complicity in the powerful anti-Soviet campaign. This speaks to the enormous importance US imperialism attached to the destruction of the USSR. It also testifies to the vast monetary assets and unrestrained freedom of maneuver available to the bestial so-called “intelligence” services of the US police state dictatorship.
Put the Lockshin case in proper context: hundreds of billions of dollars (in today's money) were spent to destroy the USSR; tens of millions of people perished. The years of secret political police expenditures, time and focused effort expended on me were, relatively speaking, a trifle.
What unfolds in my case is a decades-long campaign of patient preparation – in the main interference, harassment and later outright terror, but also occasional nurturing and coddling. To an outside observer, it would appear that my American-based life – excluding the terror campaign waged against me in 1986 - was fundamentally normal, subject only to the common vagaries, uncertainties and difficulties generally found in society.
Such was not the case. A fact which took me many years to ascertain fully. Virtually nothing is straightforward or commonplace when it comes to being a principle target of the monstrous US lie, spy, criminal, provocation, subversion and regime change, terror, drug-runnning, torture, war and mass murder apparatus – the US secret political police.
