The Bezmenov legacy

Were the collapse in western morality and the denial of plain facts the result of a KGB plot? Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov explained that it was indeed planned by the KGB.

In 1984 KGB defector Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov described ideological subversion, or the four stages of mass brainwashing used by the KGB to undermine American society. The intention was to change the perception of reality to such an extent that no one can come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their country, and their role in society.

We cannot know the extent to which these KGB plans were carried out, but so far the outcome closely resembles Bezmenov’s description, to a degree which surprised him when he defected.
