New Lies For Old: Anatoliy Golitsyn and the Perestroika Deception

[Read and narrated by Bill Cooper] In 1984, former KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn published a remarkable book, New Lies for Old, alleging that in the near future the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, working in collaboration with sister parties worldwide, would feign its own demise for three main purposes:

1) deceiving Western governments as to communism’s long-range goal of overthrowing the “bourgeois” states,
2) attracting Western capital to revitalize the Soviet Union’s ailing command economy, and
3) removing any justification for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization anti-Soviet military posture.

Five years later, the ruling communist party in Poland invited “non”-communists into the government and, in 1990, the ruling communist party in East Germany “capitulated” by uniting with West Germany. The demise of the Soviet Bloc had supposedly begun.

His predictions vindicated, in March 1989, Golitsyn submitted a memorandum to the US Central Intelligence Agency, further outlining the Soviet deception strategy in concert with the leaders of Red China. This and other memos were published in his second book, The Perestroika Deception (1995, 1998).
