Yuri Bezmenov – Complete Interviews & Lectures HQ (1983–1984) The Cultural Subversion of the U.S., Europe, and the Western World This compilation brings together all available lectures and interviews with Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB agent and Soviet defector. Bezmenov exposed the covert tactics employed by the Soviet Union to infiltrate and destabilize Western societies through ideological subversion. Interview with G. Edward Griffin: "Soviet Subversion of the Free-World Press" (1984) In this eye-opening interview, Bezmenov reveals how Soviet strategies aimed to destabilize the United States and drive it toward societal crisis—laying the groundwork for authoritarian control under what he describes as a “Big Brother” regime. According to Bezmenov, Marxist ideology, particularly influenced by radical interpretations, seeks to manipulate economic and social norms to weaken Western institutions from within. He warns that many Americans remain unaware of the ideological attack already underway, and that political solutions alone will not be enough to change course. Key Points from Yuri Bezmenov’s Lectures: Informants & Watchlists: Marxist regimes rely on informants to compile lists of dissidents and so-called “useful idiots”—idealists who are often among the first to be purged when power is seized. Internal Purges: Bezmenov cites real-world examples of revolutionary leaders imprisoning or eliminating their own supporters to solidify control. Abandoned Defectors: He exposes how Soviet defectors were often ignored or betrayed by Western embassies, with some handed back to the KGB. Power Struggles in Soviet Leadership: He outlines a toxic “triangle of hate” within the Soviet elite, marked by internal betrayal and ruthless ambition. Media Manipulation: Western media, he claims, was instrumentalized to promote a distorted view of life in the USSR, citing examples like LOOK magazine’s misleading portrayals of post-war Soviet patriotism. Revolutions by Organized Minorities: Bezmenov stresses that revolutions are rarely mass uprisings—instead, they are driven by tightly organized and ideologically driven factions. Ideological Subversion: The true threat, he says, lies in the long-term erosion of values and beliefs, which gradually weakens the fabric of democratic societies. A Warning to the West Bezmenov argues that ideological subversion does not aim to destroy the West through direct confrontation, but by distorting reality itself—so deeply that people can no longer discern truth from propaganda. Once a society becomes polarized and institutions fail, a small, well-organized group can take control, regardless of the public will.
