Please learn about Soviet active measures --
The Soviet oligarchy never lost power. The downfall of the USSR was a planned media event, to distract from the communist agenda.
Active measures is the plan to demoralize the West.
From “Masters of Seduction,” by Jeri Lynn Ball:
At the Sixth Party Congress held in Moscow in 1928, Communists wrote and approved “The Program” to bring in the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr. What most Americans don’t know is the real nature of this diabolical criminal scheme. The Program of the Third International called for a global environmental program and for the transformation of all human beings on earth to accept the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr. The Communists planned to use the global environmental program as a means of eradicating national sovereignty and creating a world dictatorship. All nations, nationalities, and national boundaries were to be replaced by an omnipotent, one-world government and regional governances. The Communists did not want the American approach to liberty, with individual God-given rights protected by a government with limited powers. The Communists did not want the American concept of rule of law. They wanted unrestrained despotic government, power without limit, a world without laws—a brutal, terror-inspiring global totalitarian police state which could smash all laws of justice, launch campaigns of enslavement and mass murder, and eliminate opponents of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr. Twenty delegates from the U.S. voted for the 1928 Program of the Third International.
