The research and time devoted to this work must have been monumental.
What a book!
It's all in here.
We hear talk of this, we read bits and bobs. The governments know, they must, but they'll not admit to it.
Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (2 March 1931 – 30 August 2022) was a Russian Soviet politician who served as the last leader of the Soviet Union:
Was Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev until his dying breath a 'chekist'?
Did Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev con the west?
Read this!
From 1917, and for every day since, the 'secret empire' of 'chekists' have had a merciless, iron-grip on 'the state'.

A fair amount of Waller has some bad paranoia, but occasionally he's very insightful.
Just read some of his wild and crazy over the top essays, one of these days. He's got some pretty wacky essays at the Center for Security Policy, which has a few oddballs there.
He's the kind of guy where, you admire some of his facts, but he'll have these James Jesus Angleton like theories of a woke conspiracy right out of the KGB.
One of these guys where you like 27% of his material, but some of the reasoning and certainty is one hop away from Glenn Beck meets J. Edgar Hoover.
So, i'd give him 3 stars for some material, but a zero for trusting his analysis on a bad day.
Well read, insightful and sometimes, totally nuts.
