The Perestroika Deception : Memoranda to the Central Intelligence Agency
Anatoliy Golitsyn exposes the devious Leninist strategy being pursued by supposed "former" communists under the facade of "reform" and "progress towards democracy". The objectives: "convergence" with the West, the creation of a new world order, and - ultimately - the establishment of a communist world government under the United Nations.

This author is paranoic. Course of history shows that new world order is indeed establishing, but not by red communists, but the west. NATO bloc is trying to expand.
Author sees communism where it is absent. Of course he is Ukrainian and they have tendency to hate communism.
"However, the official historian for MI5, Christopher Andrew, described him as an "unreliable conspiracy theorist""

Just as the Holocaust was called the hoax of the 20th century, the "death of Communism" can be called the hoax of the 21st century. Fitting, as both came from the same place, the minds of the Jewish dominated Soviet intelligence services.
In a series of memoranda sent by KGB Defector Anatoliy Golitsyn, to the CIA between 1988 to 1995 [the appendix contains extracts from memoranda dated from 1973 to 1985] expanding on his 1984 book New Lies for Old https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
which warned that the Soviet Bloc outlines in 1956-60, preparation for a false liberalization, based on Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP) which would involve a controlled opposition of "non-communist" political parties and establishing a state-capitalist economy to create a false decommunization and "abolish the image of the enemy".
Seeing that his warnings to the CIA were falling on deaf ears, he contacted Christopher Story, editor of the Soviet Analyst journal, to prepare publishing the memorandums into a book for the general public so they could stop the Soviet 'Perestroika' (restructuring) of the Western World.
30 years on, Golitsyn's work is still relevant as ever but is still ignored (if they even know about Golitsyn) by both Liberals and many on the Right because they don't want to accept the conclusions that Golitsyn's work make clear.
For the Liberals, Golitsyn's conclusions are unacceptable because they disprove basic Liberal premises, such as the secular nature of communism, for even though he never uses the word, it is clear that Golitsyn shows Communism to be Satanic, if the words and deeds of its founder didn't make that clear already https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
for after all, what economic theory fakes its own death to win over its enemies? Such a evil cannot become moderate, cannot be tamed, it must be destroyed, and Liberalism doesn't have the strength, the will, to destroy Communism, because it shares many of the same beliefs as Communism such as the total equality of the human race.
On the Right, many ignore Golitsyn warnings because they have been completely fooled by propaganda pushing Russia as a "traditional", "Christian", and "Anti-LGBT" utopia, which will save the White Race from its current crisis, leading some to even work as agents for Russia, no doubt thinking that they are doing a good thing, when in fact, they are helping enemies of the White Race to conquer and destroy us.
One can only hope that at the Eleventh Hour, the West realize that Golitsyn was right.

A cold and cynical analysis that unfortunately seems to evolve into a prophecy considering our global 2024 modern context (Ukraine-Russia War, published Macron-Putin interview, increased interference of Russian Special Services in democratic elections). Unfortunately, what was once considered paranoic is now a possibility.
