Quick question.
Does any of this surprise you?
The Soviet Union was well know for is support of anti-Western organisations, from Trade Unions to CND etc all thro this period to say nothing of support for the IRA etc.
Is it surprising to see an enemy reinforce the discomfort of an opponent by any and all means?
Whilst twenty years later it is easy to see the puppet masters at work at the time they were far more difficult to spot, if not impossible.
Also do you not think that the same games where being played by the West against the USSR and its allies, possibly less successfully but nonetheless still there.
Are we sure this in itself is not part of that game?
