This is very interesting as well. Discusses an issue of LOOK magazine which was in the tank for Russia and Communism. What follows are the web author's conclusions after reading the old issue of LOOK magazine in light of Bezmenov's claims of Russian media manipulation. The first few sentences sound like they could be written about the New York Times today.
Anyone can successfully lie to you, but you'll eventually get the facts and quit trusting them. Much greater skill goes into telling you most of the truth, while shading and coloring the facts to make them seem to support a message that they don't. The essence of this article is "these people are no danger to the United States." That was emphatically not true at the time. Hell this was less than five years after the Cuban Missile crisis and during the midst of what we now know was a massive buildup in Soviet military capacity (detailed in Robert M Gates' excellent book From The Shadows –my review here). This was a propaganda coup of enormous value. This, along with a thousand other coups like it, lead directly to all of those protests in Europe in the 1980's over Reagan's missiles. By then, "everyone knew" that they Soviet Union was run by a bunch of misunderstood men who drank too much vodka but didn't really mean anyone any harm (look at how Gorbachev was feted in US media). This was one successful maneuver in a long war of such maneuvers.
We're lucky that communism and centrally-planned economies are such a bad idea. If the Soviet Union hadn't been beaten by economics, it certainly wouldn't have been beaten at espionage or force of arms. Bezmenov deserves his bragging rights.
Video gone.
