Are you watch Yuri Bezmenov lecture or 4 stage toward marxism-leninism, Its suprisingly KGB used education tactic to demoralized student to created destabilized period including activism and Social Justice Warrior. First KGB only sent professor,teacher that from soviet and KGB to america college not lecture about basic subject but either social construct,Gender studies and Marxism, After that it done from people to people until it broke crisis which civil war between marxism-leninism faction and the nationalist once and after the crisis over that won by marxism-leninism, the Soviet Union and KGB designated a Marxism-leninism party that infact not by its people alone but by Soviet Spy that eventually led to country became communist state and those marxism and leninism supporter or people will be crushed by the New Marxist Goverment alone, This actually happen in Afghanistan & Czechoslovakia

The KGB was far more effective when you get to many specific operational facts, the cost to information gathered was far greater for the KGB when compared to what the CIA would have to invest to gather equal data. The CCCP was also much harder to influence and infiltrate when paired to the US, they also had way more linguistic experts and because of its location they also had many ethnic experts in many areas where the US could only buy assets. They also had the same fear aspect that Mossad shares today. In fact the KGB was so influential in their nation they had to break it up into three departments after the cccp collapsed

The KGB was "formed" in 1954 - out of the previous versions which went back all the way to the formation of the Soviet Union. Lenin tapped his friend Feliks Dzierżyński, a Polish dissident who had been jailed by the Tsar many times for political reasons. Dzierżyński's mission: To root out, top to bottom, "counter-revolutionaries" that Lenin knew were hiding everywhere. He was given pretty much carte-blanche to do whatever he felt needed to be done to destroy the enemies of The People.

[@uniball01]

I don't believe the cold war ever truly ended. The two aspects that defined the period were nuclear stockpiles and proxy wars. The nuclear stockpiles have decreased drastically, and it seems both sides are aware that it isn't a feasible option, but the proxy wars never stopped. The idea behind the proxy wars was to indirectly engage through supporting opposing sides in a conflict they often instigated in order to stop the other from spreading their influence. What's changed?

@Mr Football noop, not true. It s not the same to be a mafia in the USA, Japan or like Mexico. And you must see in wich time did the mafia do ther jobs... it s not the same, it s not a esey answers, you must analis evreything the time, contry, goverment, sistem, money, dethe, money, a lot of factors. I agre thet the mexicens, columbiens are very known cartels, and have a lot money,, but we now how maney DAYS they would be in busines if they were located in the USA. + alot of ther narco boses have died... I say thet moust efectiv have been the italiens and russians, because they have legalized ther busines and are free, rich peopel now.... and the hispanic boses still watch ther back, maybe not because of other contry cartels, but in ther cartels iner enemys and other local cartels.... it s more esey to be mafia when the contrey is in mess.

i think that the KGB was better, why, simple, the CIA has "fixed" so many things that ended up drawing into conventional warfare (something they were trying to avoid, but fiddled and destabilised so much (in places and why not intended), also, much of the CIA's handy work directly backfired back onto the US, something that the KGB suffered far less of
