Was there a plan of Dulles on the collapse of the USSR?

The plan of the Director of the CIA Allen Dulles is one of the most famous texts related to the post -Soviet era. Check its authenticity.

Plan Dulles As an independent text for the first time was published In the magazine "Roman-Gazeta" in February 1993. He was part of the anti -Horbachery pamphlet "Prince of Darkness" of the writer and the late Soviet party functionary Boris Oleinik. Since since 2016 the full text in Russia Included We will not bring it to the federal list of extremist materials.

The main task of the Americans, according to the Dulles plan, dated usually 1945, was the creation of chaos and confusion in the Soviet state management. To do this, it was necessary to fool people, replacing their values ​​with false ones. It was proposed to support only such artists who would “crush into the human mind the cult of sex, violence, sadism, betrayal - in a word, all immorality.”

It was supposed to quietly cultivate the bribery of officials, bureaucracy, red tape, lies, rudeness, drunkenness and drug addiction. And those few who will guess what was happening had to be turned into a laughing stock and declared the scum of society. The destruction of morality was proposed to begin with young people, which is easy to decompose, corrupt, mole, make cynics, vulgarities and cosmopolitans.

All the phrases of the Dulles plan can be found in the novel "Eternal Call" (1981 edition) Soviet writer Anatoly Ivanov. At the same time, in the book, he was invested in the lips of the former Russian gendarme officer in the form of separate replicas, and at the time of the statement of Standartenfuhrer, SS Lakhnovsky. Ideas expressed in the text, researchers Find And earlier: in the novel of 1964, another Soviet writer Dold Michailik and even In the "demons" of Dostoevsky. However, Ivanov has no direct textual coincidences with them. Therefore, with a high probability, compilation from the “eternal call” is the source of the plan - however, without any connection with the director of the CIA Allen Dulles.

"Wikipedia" And Modern researchers They agree that for the first time the abbreviated text of the plan, indicating the authorship of Dulles, was published in one of the performances Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga John (Snychev) in the newspaper "Soviet Russia" on February 20, 1993. Most likely, this is wrong. Oleinik’s pamphlet “Prince of Darkness” in Roman Gazeta was also released in February and, most likely, earlier than the article in “Soviet Russia”, because the February numbers signed in print in January.

Since it is unlikely that the idea of ​​attributing this text to the authorship of Dulles almost simultaneously came to the head of the writer Oleinik and Metropolitan Snichev, then, apparently, Snychev simply read it on the pages of Roman Gazeta, where he was attributed to Dulles, and used a few days a few days later for his article. Another assumption can be made here: the text compiled by the unknown person’s phrases of the “eternal call”, before getting to Oleinik, went as a separate document in lists or in samizdat (which in itself is not excluded), and the same or another “hero” decided to attribute it to Dulles. And then it so happened that almost simultaneously he came to two different people who published him. But, it seems, for such a version a bit a lot of assumptions.

Another remarkable detail. In the second publication of the Prince of Darkness in July of the same 1993 in the journal “Young Guard” Oleinik gives to the text of the Dulles plan Explanation, which was not in the primary: “These ominous words writer Anatoly Ivanov, as we know, included in the text of the second book of the novel“ Eternal Call ”. But for ten years, these words have been thrown out by censorship, located under the Kremlin-Sionist control, from all publications ... "

It is noteworthy here that the chief editor of the magazine “Young Guard” at that time was just the same writer Anatoly Ivanov. Apparently, he recognized his own text and pointed to it to Oleinik. A legitimate question arises: why, then, the mention of the authorship of Dalles remains in the pamphlet? Alas, we have no exact answer. As far as we know, Ivanov never explained this during his lifetime.

Modern authors of the patriotic orientation are still Confidentthat the plan was that he was a duckling from one of the secret meetings to Soviet intelligence officers, and after the KGB line came to the writer who gave him a literary form. Secrets are explained by the danger of revealing the source of leakage.

However, if for the 50-60s such an explanation could still be believable, then in perestroika and even more so in the 90s, when the KGB archives were partially open, there was no reason to hide the personality of a person who could not remain among the living, due to age. The document could serve as a subject of pride for Soviet intelligence. Moreover, with his help they could try to stop the penetration of Western values ​​in the USSR. But nothing of the kind happened. And this makes him be satisfied with a simpler and more verified version.

And the last. Neither Oleinik nor Snychev directly used the phrase “Dulles plan”. Why did the text go to the people under this name? Perhaps the reason is that the phrase “plan of Dulles” in itself was well known to Soviet historians and people interested in international politics and diplomacy. We found out that it is many times Found In the literature, starting from the 50s, in relation to the proposals of the US Secretary of State John Foster Dulles (older brother of Allen) by resolution of the 1956 Suez crisis. So contamination could occur, that is, a mixture of expression known in relatively narrow circles with a new meaning.
