INTRODUCTION

Background to the Never-Ending Cold War

As of recently, we are losing the Cold War but many in America and Europe do not know that we are in a war. The Cold War started on 25 October 1917, according to Professor Lev Dobriansky of Georgetown University and other scholars. Some historians and intelligence analysts have often ignored the Communist attacks and incursions before and during World War II, and consider the start of the Cold War to have been in about 1947. But records show that Soviet Communist hostilities continued unabated from 1917 throughout the twentieth century, until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. There was a feeling during the 1990s among many Russia observers and historians that the Cold War was old history, not to be renewed again. Then, according to author Edward Lucas and other reporters, a new Cold War started slowly in the summer of 1999, after President Boris Yeltsin unexpectedly named Vladimir Putin as prime minister and within weeks, alleged terrorist bombs exploded in apartment buildings in Moscow and other parts of Russia. At the same time, an attack and mid-intensity war was started again by Russia against Chechnya.

In about 1989, Mikhail Gorbachev started to disband communism in Russia, and in 1991, President Boris Yeltsin, the first democratically elected leader, reduced the Red Terror in Russia and abroad. After the 1991 Communist counter-coup against Yeltsin failed, the Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB, Committee of State Security) seemed defeated, and Russia appeared to want to integrate into the free world, where freedom and justice prevailed. The Communist party was forced to relinquish power, and the KGB was dissolved. However, the grip of the many years of Communist darkness on Russia was too great for freedom to survive. The reformers were intelligent and brave with good intentions, but failed because they lacked experience with capitalism, free trade, and the rule of law. Russia fell into the hands of selfish tycoons who called themselves "oligarchs." They were not driven by idealistic principles but were motivated by greed and corruption. After economic crimes and abuses became widespread, the ex-KGB veterans became sought after to restore central control and were slowly reformed into the Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti (FSB, Federal Security Service). With the evolving intervention by the FSB in civil and economic matters in Russia, a new era of confrontation with the civilized world and free societies was born.

Yeltsin's nomination of Putin as prime minister was due largely to the financial crisis of August 1998. After the Russian banking system collapsed, Russia defaulted on its debts and devalued the ruble. The savings of the middle class were wiped out. Supporters of the Yeltsin leadership and members of his party were devastated and were looking for a way out. Their chosen candidate to rescue the country was a quiet, efficient, and loyal former KGB officer who everyone believed could be trusted. During the 1980s, Putin had reportedly served as a KGB major in Dresden, where the headquarters of the 1st Guards Tank Army was located. He had a separate office and kept to himself during his three-year tour of duty in East Germany, according to German army officers who later talked to me about him.

During his tenure, according to Lucas, Prime Minister Putin worked to insure his election to the presidency by employing former KGB officers to create mysterious explosions in apartment buildings in Moscow. The explosions caused a panic and fear among Russians, along with a desire for security at the expense of individual rights and freedom. The security crisis, along with Yeltsin's financial troubles, justified more central control for Putin and a restarting of the war against Chechnya. Soon, political polls showed that Putin had gained great popularity and became a national hero in about four months.

The bombings seemed to most Russians to be genuine terrorist attacks and the result of Moscow's weakness in dealing with its enemies. However, after all the facts became known, the bombings can be seen to have been a cynical plot to get the public to support the new ex-KGB rulers of Russia. With the departure of the Yeltsin-era political leaders, a new ruling class of KGB veterans from St. Petersburg took over and conducted their "FSB-fication" (efesbefikatsiya) of the country. Putin betrayed the positive legacy of the Yeltsin years. As a former KGB/FSB leader in the Kremlin, Putin used the powers of the intelligence agency to bug, blackmail, and assassinate people for enrichment and expansion of power.

Newly Appointed Prime Minister Putin Used the FSB to Create a Security Crisis to Reestablish an Authoritarian Political System and Become President of Russia

According to Lucas, on 9 August 1999, after his appointment to the position of prime minister, Putin enlisted the help of the FSB to take control of the government. The FSB, like the KGB, employed some of the best and the brightest officers in Russia and inculcated absolute loyalty in them. The financial crisis had facilitated Putin's appointment, but he felt that he also needed the security crisis, along with official corruption investigations of possible opponents, to seize power and get elected to the presidency. The following events orchestrated by Putin and the FSB created a security crisis and facilitated his seizure of power: (1) in about mid-August, shortly after his appointment from the position of chief of the FSB to prime minister, obscure news sources reported that fighters from the breakaway province of Chechnya raided villages in neighboring Dagestan, (2) on 31 August, a bomb exploded at a subway entrance in Moscow, killing 1 person and wounding 40,...
