Mitrokhin

Vasili Mitrokhin was a KGB major who had access to a huge amount of classified paper. In fact, as their chief archivist he saw more of their top secret records than anyone else. Taking notes was illegal and dangerous. He would have been shot for his pains. That was at best. It would probably have been much worse. When the USSR fell he was able to get out and talk to the British embassy. Getting taken seriously seems to have been fairly easy albeit the CIA decided they could get along without him. Getting a lot of paper out was accomplished. Happily his notes were confirmed as genuine by other sources but his in depth access made him valuable. He collaborated with Christopher Andrew in writing the The Mitrokhin Archive: The KGB in Europe and the West (Penguin Press History) & The Mitrokhin Archive: The KGB in Europe and the West. Professor Andrew mentions Anatoly Chernyaev but not Chernyaev's revelations regarding communist recruitment of Brown or Blair. See How the Kremlin hijacked Labour - Diary of a Kremlin insider or Reaching through the Iron Curtain for more and better details of that.

Jewish Doctors' plot ex Wiki - the MGB was accused of lack of vigilance - Mitrokhin Archive page 2
QUOTE
The Doctors' plot was the most dramatic anti-Jewish episode in the Soviet Union during Joseph Stalin's regime, involving the "unmasking" of a group of prominent Moscow doctors, predominantly Jews, as conspiratorial assassins of Soviet leaders.[1] This was accompanied by show trials and anti-Semitic propaganda in state-run mass media. Scores of Soviet Jews were promptly dismissed from their jobs, arrested, sent to the Gulag, or executed.....

After the death of Joseph Stalin in March 1953, the new Soviet leadership declared that the case was fabricated.
UNQUOTE
The Wikipedia is fairly reliable until the agenda cuts in. This is a case in point. They refer to this affair merely as the doctors' plot. Deemphasizing evil done by Jews is policy.

Beria ex Wiki - his colleagues were frightened that he would stage a coup d'état against them - ibid page 2

Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria - 29 March 1899 – 23 December 1953) was a Georgian Soviet politician and state security administrator, chief of the Soviet security and secret police apparatus (NKVD) under Joseph Stalin in World War II, and Deputy Premier in the postwar years (1946-1953).

Beria was the longest lived and most influential of Stalin's secret police chiefs, wielding his most substantial influence during and after World War II,...... Beria was widely seen as the most dangerous and ambitious of Stalin's inner circle during his final years. As he had promised, after Stalin's death in 1953 Beria elevated himself to First Deputy Premier, where , where he carried out a brief campaign of liberalization;......  .........and after interrogation by his own NKVD torturers, Beria was taken to the basement of the Lubyanka and shot by General Pavel Batitsky.

Shooting him personally meant being implicated; a good move perhaps.



Beria - was a Paedophile rapist - Mitrokhin Archive page 3
QUOTE
At Beria's trial after his June 1953 arrest, a significant number of rape and sexual assault allegations were brought to light. Since false accusations and confessions of sexual perversion were a common element to many coerced Stalinist confessions and little details beyond the charges were provided, and since a number of other accusations against Beria (treason, counter-revolutionary activities) were reminiscent of trumped-up charges of the Stalin era, most historians initially dismissed Beria's reputation as a sexual predator....... The new evidence on Beria, in the words of Stalin biographer Simon Sebag-Montefiore, "reveals a sexual predator who used his power to indulge himself in obsessive depravity."

Genrikh Yagoda ex Wiki - a Jew, security chief, shot for his pains - page 3
QUOTE
Genrikh Grigoryevich Yagoda 7 November 1891–15 March 1938, born Enokh Gershevich Ieguda, was a Soviet state security official who served as director of the NKVD, the Soviet Union's Stalin-era security and intelligence agency, from 1934 to 1936. Appointed by Joseph Stalin, Yagoda supervised the arrest, show trial, and execution of the Old Bolsheviks Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev, events which comprised the beginnings of the Great Purge.

Like many Soviet secret policemen of the 1930s, Yagoda was ultimately a victim of the Purge himself. He was demoted from the directorship of the NKVD in favor of Nikolai Yezhov during 1936, and arrested during 1937. Charged with the standard crimes of wrecking, espionage, Trotskyism, and conspiracy, Yagoda was a defendant at the Trial of the Twenty-One, the last of the major Soviet show trials of the 1930s. Soon after his confession at the trial, Yagoda was found guilty and shot.

Nikolai Nikolai Ivanovich Yezhov May 1, 1895 – February 4, 1940) was a senior figure in the NKVD (the Soviet secret police) under Joseph Stalin during the period of the Great Purge. His reign is sometimes known as the "Yezhovshchina" "the Yezhov era", a term that began to be used during the de-Stalinization campaign of the 1950s......

On February 4, he was executed by NKVD Chief Executioner Major-General Vasili Blokhin, [ possibly a Jew - see  Was Blokhin a Jew - their answer is Yes - their evidence none ]  probably in the basement of a small NKVD station on Varsonofevskii Lane in Moscow

Yakov Isaakovich Serebryansky - Jew - 1892-1956 ex Wiki - page 54
QUOTE
In April 1929, Serebryansky was appointed head of the first department of the INO (then “illegal” intelligence), while simultaneously remaining the head of his special group, which was directly subordinate only to the OGPU chairman. This group’s goal was to achieve “deep penetration” of strategic military installations by its agents – who would be activated in case of war – and to carry out subversive and terrorist operations in wartime.

In mid-1930, Serebryansky began building an autonomous agent network in various countries to conduct wartime intelligence activity. For this purpose, he went to the United States in 1932 and to France in 1934. In July 1934, he was appointed head of a special-purpose group (known in Russia as SGON – Special Group for Special Purposes) at the NKVD and was soon promoted to the rank of Major of the GB(?). In 1935 and1936, Serebryansky was posted in China and Japan. After the outbreak of the civil war in Spain, he took part in secret purchases of arms for the Republican Army. The special operations in which Serebryansky participated in the 1930s also include the seizure of part of the Trotskyite archive, the development of plans to kidnap Trotsky’s son, and many others.
UNQUOTE
This will be a whitewash. Mitrokhin takes a much stronger line. Serebryansky was head of the 200 man Administration for Special Tasks responsible for "sabotage, abduction and assassination operation of foreign soil" [ On page 54 ]

He was a severe embarrassment to official historians trying to do clean up jobs on the KGB. He was sorted out in November 1938 as a spy working England and France. Ibid 112

PETROGRAD CHEKA (Petrograd Emergency Committee), the local body of All-Russian Extraordinary Commission, established on March 10, 1918 after the transfer of All-Russian Extraordinary Commission to Moscow; it was quartered on 2/6 Gorokhovaya Street. The committee was initially called the Department against counter-revolution of the Commissars' Soviet of the Petrograd labour commune; since the end of April of 1918 - regional Emergency Committee (Cheka) attached to the Commissar Soviet of the Association of local authorities of the Northern region; since February of 1919 it was known as Petrograd province Cheka (exercising its rights as an independent department of Petrograd Soviet). During the first period of its activity Cheka was headed by the Presidium (the first chairman - M.S. Uritsky), it comprised the following departments: against counter-revolution, against black market activities, fighting detachments, various subsidiary subdivisions (secretariat, front office, commandant's office etc.). Later the structure of the committee was changed. After the death of Uritsky (August of 1918) Petrograd Cheka was headed by: G.I. Boky, V.N. Yakovleva, N.K. Antipov, A.K. Skorokhodov, S.S. Lobov, F.D. Medved, G.I. Blagonravov, I.P. Bakaev, N.P. Komarov. One of the first Cheka undertakings was disarmament of anarchists' fighting detachments in April of 1918. In June - July of 1918 Petrograd Cheka eliminated the military organization of the Right socialist revolutionaries; in July of 1918 it participated in the suppression of an armed uprising attempt undertaken by the military organization of the Left socialist revolutionaries in former Vorontsovsk Palace. In 1919 Petrograd Cheka together with the members of the Special department of All-Russian Extraordinary Commission discovered and liquidated the underground anti-Bolshevist organization headed by the agent of the British intelligence service P. Duxe [ This will be Paul Dukes ]. Petrograd Cheka was the main implement of the red terror in Petrograd, it performed the functions of political investigation and control, fought against anti-Bolshevist actions (including those among the workers of Petrograd), exercised repressions against the Extraordinary assembly of Petrograd plants and factories commissioners (1918), against participants of strikes and "dawdlings" at the city enterprises (especially in spring of 1919 and in the beginning of 1921), against the participants of Kronstadt uprising of 1921. The Petrograd Cheka officials often resorted to the falsification of evidence and fabrication of proceedings upon imaginary counter-revolutionary organizations. In March of 1922 Petrograd Cheka was transformed into the department of city administration attached to People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs.
UNQUOTE
This is from the Saint Petersburg Encyclopedia so it is based on local knowledge. There is no mention of Boky's depravity.

Boky was very successful in espionage. Analysis was inferior due to paranoia. It got far worse when Joe Stalin took over because he was determined to believe there were major plots against the USSR [ page 71 ].

Great Terror ex Wiki - Russia, 1936 to 1938, ibid 89 et seq
QUOTE
The Great Purge was a series of campaigns of political repression and persecution in the Soviet Union orchestrated by Joseph Stalin from 1936 to 1938. It involved a large-scale purge of the Communist Party and government officials, repression of peasants, Red Army leadership, and the persecution of unaffiliated persons, characterized by widespread police surveillance, widespread suspicion of "saboteurs", imprisonment, and arbitrary executions. In Russian historiography the period of the most intense purge, 1937–1938, is called Yezhovshchina ( literally, the Yezhov regime), after Nikolai Yezhov, the head of the Soviet secret police, NKVD.

In the Western World, Robert Conquest's 1968 book The Great Terror popularized that phrase. Conquest was in turn inspired by the period of terror (French: la Terreur) during the French Revolution.

Alexander Mikhailovich Orlov (Russian: Александр Михайлович Орлов), born Leiba Lazarevich Felbing (Лейба Лазаревич Фельбинг, 21 August 1895–25 March 1973), was a General in the Soviet secret police and NKVD Rezident in the Second Spanish Republic. In 1938, Orlov was selected for execution during Joseph Stalin's Great Purge. Instead of obeying his orders to return to the Soviet Union, the General and his family fled to the U.S.. They remained in hiding under assumed names until after Stalin's death on March 5, 1953. Orlov then became a confidential informant the Federal Bureau of Investigation...........

In OctobIn October 1936 Orlov was placed in command of the operation which moved the Spanish treasury from Madrid to Moscow. Orlov did a commendable job of managing the logistics of this transfer. It took four nights for truck convoys, driven by Soviet tank men, to bring the 510 tons of gold from its hiding place in the mountains to the port of Cartagena. There, under threat of German bombing raids, it was loaded on four different Russian steamers bound for Odessa. The gold was conveyed to Moscow by special armored train. Once it was safely locked away Stalin threw a party and remarked, "The Spaniards will never see their gold again, just as cannot see one's own ears." For his service, Orlov received the "Order of Lenin;

However, Orlov's main task in Spain remained arresting and executing Trotskyites, Anarchists, Roman Catholics supportive of Franco's forces, and other suspected foes of the Second Spanish Republic. Documents released from the NKVD archives detail a massive number of Orlov's crimes in Spain. He was responsible for fabricating the evidence which led to the arrest and summary execution of members of the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification (POUM). Evidence also suggests he directed the kidnapping and execution of the POUM leader Andreu Nin.

In a report to his superiors in Moscow, dated August 1937, Orlov outlined plans for the capture and liquidation of the Austrian Anti-Stalinist Kurt Landau. His deputy, Stanislav Vaupshasov, operated a crematorium for the untraceable disposal of corpses. Erwin Wolf, Trotsky's former secretary, and Mark Rein, son of a Menshevik leader, disappeared in Spain, the victims of Orlov's death squads.

Orlov also masterminded the disappearance of the White Army General turned NKVD informant, Nikolai Skoblin (codename FARMER). Despite being the NKVD's rezident in Republican Spain, Orlov would subsequently deny involvement and knowledge of these and many other war crimes carried out by his subordinate......

When he received orders from Moscow to report to a Soviet ship in a Antwerp, Orlov , Orlov was certain that he was about to be arrested. Instead of obeying, Orlov pilfered $60,000 in operational funds from the embassy safe and fled with his wife and daughter to Canada. It is possible that he took direct part, again acting as a diplomatic cover, in the assassination of Rudolf Klement, a former secretary of Leon Trotsky, in Paris on 13 July 1938 - the day he left Paris for Quebec.

While in Canada, Orlov composed a blackmail letter which he sent to Stalin via Nikolai Yezhov. He told the dictator that he would reveal everything he knew about NKVD operations if any action was taken against him or his family. In a two-page attachment, Orlov listed the codenames of numerous illegals and moles operating in the West.

Orlov also sent a letter to Trotsky alerting him to the presence of the NKVD agent Mark Zborowski (codename TULIP) in the entourage of his son Lev Sedov. Trotsky dismissed this letter as a provocation. Then Orlov traveled with his family to the United States and went underground. The NKVD, presumably on orders from Stalin, did not try to locate him until 1969.

QUOTE
The Workers' Party of Marxist Unification (Spanish: Partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista, POUM; Catalan: Partit Obrer d'Unificació Marxista) was a Spanish communist political party formed during the Second Republic and mainly active around the Spanish Civil War. It was formed by the fusion of the Trotskyist Communist Left of Spain (Izquierda Comunista de España, ICE) and the Workers and Peasants' Bloc (BOC, affiliated with the Right Opposition) against the will of Leon Trotsky , with whom the former broke. The writer George Orwell served with the party and witnessed the Stalinist repression of the movement, which would form his anti-totalitarian ideas in later life

In 1935, POUM was formed as a communist opposition to Stalinism by the revolutionaries Andreu Nin and Joaquín Maurín. The two were heavily influenced by the thinking of Leon Trotsky, particularly his Permanent Revolution  thesis. It resulted from the merging of the Trotskyist Communist Left of Spain and the Workers and Peasants' Bloc against the wishes of Trotsky, with whom the former broke.

Permanent Revolution
QUOTE
Permanent revolution is a term within Marxist theory, established in usage by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels by at least 1850 but which has since become most closely associated with Leon Trotsky. The use of the term by different theorists is not identical. Marx used it to describe the strategy of a revolutionary class to continue to pursue its class interests independently and without compromise, despite overtures for political alliances, and despite the political dominance of opposing sections of society.

Trotsky put forward his conception of 'permanent revolution' as an explanation of how socialist revolutions could occur in societies that had not achieved advanced capitalism. Part of his theory is the impossibility of 'socialism in one country' - a view also held by Marx, but not integrated into his conception of permanent revolution. "images/'s theory also argues, first, that the bourgeoisie in late-developing capitalist countries are incapable of developing the productive forces in such a manner as to achieve the sort of advanced capitalism which will fully develop an industrial proletariat. Second, that the proletariat can and must, therefore, seize social, economic and political power, leading an alliance with the peasantry.

The term has also been used to describe Thomas Jefferson's endorsement of periodic rebellion as "medicine necessary for the sound health of government".[1 ]
UNQUOTE
Could this be what Her Majesty's Government is inflicting on us with malice aforethought? It certainly could. Her Allegedly Loyal Opposition can be depended on for the malice and the cunning too. Jefferson's endorsement is an acceptance that corrupt abuse of power is normal. He was right.

Vaupshasov volunteered for the Red Army in 1918. In 1920-24 he participated in the underground struggle in the western oblasts of Byelorussia, which were occupied by bourgeois Poland. In later years he did reconnaissance work. In 1937-39, during the Civil War in Spain, he carried out combat assignments in the struggle against the Franco troops. Upon returning to the USSR he worked for organs of state security. In 1942 he was sent at the head of a group of Cheka men to Byelorussia, where he established contact with the partisan underground and participated in the partisan movement. For more than two years he led the large Mestnye Partisan Detachment, which operated successfully in Minsk Oblast.

The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, colloquially named after the Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov and the German foreign minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, was an agreement officially titled the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Soviet Union and signed in Moscow in the late hours of 23 August 1939. It was a non-aggression pact under which the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany each pledged to remain neutral in the event that either nation were attacked by a third party. It remained in effect until 22 June 1941, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union.............

Background
At the beginning of the 1930s, the Nazi Party's rise to power increased tensions between Germany, the Soviet Union and other countries with ethnic Slavs, which were considered "Untermenschen" according to Nazi racial ideology. Moreover, the anti-Semitic Nazis associated ethnic Jews with both communism and financial capitalism, both of which they opposed. [ The Wiki does not bother to mention that they were right- Ed. ] Consequently, Nazi theory held that Slavs in the Soviet Union were being ruled by "Jewish Bolshevik" masters.........
UNQUOTE
What is the difference between the Nazis and Communists? Not a lot! The uniforms were different; slogans ditto. Other aspects are very similar; the tyranny, oppression, the lust for power were there.

QUOTE
Though shThough she had worked indirectly as a Stalinist agent for years via the directives of the Comintern, Caridad Mercader was formally indoctrinated into the NKVD by Leonid Eitingon who operated in Spain under the alias of General Kotov. Caridad had a long running affair with Eitingon, who not only recruited her, but her son Ramon as well. Eitingon trained Mercader in the ways of sabotage and Guerrilla warfare and in 1937, took him to Moscow for more specialized training in dissembling and assassination.

Eitingon was the mastermind behind the Trotsky assassination, directing it via the Soviet consulate in New York. To get close to Trotsky, it was decided that Mercader would have to become romantically involved with someone who had access to Trotsky’s inner sanctum. The NKVD chose Sylvia Ageloff, a Brooklyn social worker, Trotskyite, and confidante of Trotsky himself. It was assumed that Ageloff would be attending a secret conference of Trotsky’s Fourth International (about which the NKVD had been tipped off) in France in the summer of 1938. The NKVD used Ruby Weil, a wavering Trotskyite and acquaintance of Ageloff, to travel to Europe with Ageloff and set her up with Mercader via an agent by the name of Gertrude.....

Vasili Nikitich Mitrokhin (March 3, 1922–January 23, 2004) was a Major and senior archivist for the Soviet Union's foreign intelligence service, the First Chief Directorate of the KGB, and co-author with Christopher Andrew of The Mitrokhin Archive: The KGB in Europe and the West, a massive account of Soviet intelligence operations based on copies of material from the archive. The second volume, The Mitrokhin Archive II: The KGB in the World, was published in 2005, soon after Mitrokhin's death.

 

Christopher Andrew e Wiki
Andrew is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History, former Chair of the History Faculty at Cambridge University, Official Historian of the Security Service (MI5), Honorary Air Commodore of 7006 Squadron (Intelligence) in the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, Chair of the Cambridge Intelligence Seminar, and former Visiting Professor at Harvard, Toronto and Canberra. Professor Andrew is also co-editor of Intelligence and National Security, and a regular presenter of BBC Radio and TV documentaries, including the Radio Four series What If?. His twelve previous books include a number of path-breaking studies on the use and abuse of secret intelligence in modern history. He is currently a governor of Norwich School and President of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.

Andrew studied under the historian and wartime cryptanalyst Sir Harry Hinsley, in common with fellow historian Peter Hennessy,[1] Former students of Andrew - including Peter Jackson, Richard Aldrich, Tim Edwards and Wesley Wark - now staff the intelligence studies and intelligence history posts in universities around the English-speaking world.

Professor Andrew's reputation as an historian of intelligence studies was cemented with two studies completed in collaboration with two defectors and former KGB officers, Oleg Gordievsky and Vassili Mitrokhin. The first of these works, KGB: The Inside Story was a scholarly work on the history of KGB actions against Western governments produced from archival and open sources, with the critical addition of information from the KGB defector Gordievsky. His two most detailed works about the KGB were produced in collaboration with KGB defector and archivist Vassili Mitrokhin, who over the course of several years recopied vast numbers of KGB archive documents as they were being moved for long storage. Exfiltrated by the Secret Intelligence Service in 1992, Mitrokhin and his documents were made available to Andrew after an initial and thorough review by the security services. Both volumes, 1999's The Sword and the Shield: The Mitrokhin Archive and the Secret History of the KGB and the 2005 edition The World Was Going Our Way: The KGB and the Battle for the Third World (both volumes simply titled The Mitrokhin Archive in UK publication) resulted in some public scandal as they revealed the names of former KGB agents and collaborators in government, industry and private life around the world.[2] Most famous amongst these was the revelation in 1999 of the "Grandmother Spy", 87-year old Melita Norwood, who had passed industrial information and other intelligence to the KGB for more than 50 years.[3]

The Cambridge Intelligence Seminar, chaired by Professor Andrew (and founded by his late mentor Harry Hinsley), convenes regularly in rooms at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Active and former senior members of various intelligence services around the world participate in the discussions, with most participants made up of Andrew's graduate students, fellow historians and other academics. At these meetings, detailed analysis of various past and present intelligence affairs is discussed under the Chatham House Rule, with the confidence that it will not be attributed to a person or organization.[4]
