This is just a small part of the research I’ve been working on for quite some time regarding the Soviet Union. My investigation covers various aspects of its history and ideology, as well as the narratives that have influenced how we view this complex entity. By examining primary sources and historical accounts, I’m trying to piece together a more nuanced understanding of the Soviet experience and its lasting effects on global politics.

The graphic depicting Khrushchev’s Secret Speech fails to represent the actual information pipeline. Angleton and Dulles didn’t verify the speech—they amended it, as noted by the New York Times. I had ChatGPT generate the graphic using sources I provided after reading The GrayZone’s recent piece on CIA’s James Angleton and Mossad. Amusingly, when I asked different chatbots to extract and summarize the Soviet sections, many concocted stories that felt like attempts to whitewash CIA history.
When I draft my own articles, I often bounce ideas off chatbots—but when it comes to the Soviet Union, I have to claim that I’m working within an alternative history. And that’s not far-fetched. The Soviet Union we were taught about feels like a parallel entity, much like the corporate media’s portrayals of China. It’s ironic how the CIA used Khrushchev’s speech to instigate regime changes in Poland and Hungary—fitting, given their habit of establishing parallel governments in exile before orchestrating the “overthrow.”
During the Reagan era—and likely even under Carter—the CIA supported the Polish labor union Solidarity. I don’t doubt Carter’s involvement, especially with Zbigniew Brzezinski in his administration. Zbig, born in Warsaw and deeply anti-Communist, was Carter’s National Security Advisor and a key architect of U.S. policy toward Eastern Europe. His Polish heritage and hawkish stance on Soviet influence made him a natural ally to Solidarity’s cause. It was also under Carter that support for the Mujahideen began. The “Revolutions of 1989” weren’t spontaneous—they were orchestrated, culminating in the staged collapse of the Eastern Bloc.
Then came the Harvard Boys with their neoliberal shock therapy. Sachs claims the problem was the U.S. withholding foreign aid from the Soviet Union. But isn’t that aid often a regime-change tool? After writing my blog post about his denial of shock therapy, I dug deeper into his past—his ties to Solidarity through Lech Wałęsa, and his role in the Green Revolution in Africa. Someone once called Sachs a limited hangout, likening his approach to a frog in slowly boiling water. I’ve come to agree.
