Do you know about the National Alliance of Russian Solidarists? A very anti-communist group of exiles allegedly supported by the CIA. Do you think they'd be published in Russia? Well....guess what?

Or how about this book:

"Âîñåìü ëåò âî âëàñòè Ëóáÿíêè. Òðåãóáîâ Þ. À
Ì., 2001 ã. 266 ñòð., ïåðåïë¸ò

Êíèãà áûëà îäíèì èç ïåðâûõ ïîñëåâîåííûõ ñâèäåòåëüñòâ î òîì, ñ êàêîé áåñ÷åëîâå÷íîñòüþ ñîâåòñêîå ãîñóäàðñòâî îáðàùàëîñü ñî ñâîèìè ïîëèòè÷åñêèìè ïðîòèâíèêàìè.

8 Years in Power at Lubyanka (KGB HQ). Tregubov, Yu. A.
Published in Moscow 2001 266 pages, soft cover

The book was one of the first post-war testimonies about how the Soviet government inhumanely dealt with its political enemies."


And you were saying?
This book is easy to find in various book stores and at Posev's kiosk on Pushkin Square smack dab in the middle of Moscow.

Well, TTS, just where is that censorship?

And we cannot forget Golitsyn's fatal flaw. Just as Marx discounted human nature, Golitsyn's theories on faux-perestroika come to naught as he has forgotten the element of human nature. If we were to believe Golitsyn's conspiracy theory the Russians, the Poles, the East Germans, the Czechs, the Slovaks, the Kazakhs, the Uzbeks, the Belarusians, the Tadjiks, the Hungarians, etc., etc., would all have to be willing to participate in this great plot. They'd have to be willing to give up their freedoms of speech, travel, consumerism, etc.

Unfortunately for you Golitsynites, and fortunately for the rest of us, Ronald Reagan was right about the Evil Empire not being able to live on. It's dead and the only ones in the FSU and former Warsaw Pact who dream of the possibility of Golitsyn actually being right are those who are dying off day-by-day - the unrepented communists whose only bit of resistance they can offer is to march feebly across Red Square on Lenin's or Stalin's birthday. Kind of puts you guys in strange company - old diehard Communists would love for Golitsyn to be right, just as you do -for it would vindicate the countless hours you must spend preparing for the day when the Old Red Bear rises again.

I see you have been unable to find either of Golitsyns books in your search of Russian book stores thus far. All the books you list assume that the Soviet Union collapsed. As such, none of them pose a sinificant threat to the continuing Soviets.
