Sergei Stepashin

In turn, I think some of the maneuvering that Boris Yeltsin has engaged in during the course of the war is directly relevant to not only the crypto-fascist forces that have precipitated that war, but is also cognizant of past and probable future political realities in the United States.

One of the things that Yeltsin did was he named a new prime minister, Mr. Sergei Stepashin.

Well, Stepashin was the fellow who conducted the review of the October surprise files of the KGB at the request of the October surprise committee.

The October surprise was the collusion that the popular name given to the collusion between the Reagan-Bush campaign and the Khomeini forces in Iran to withhold the U.S. hostages taken from the U.S. embassy there until after Jimmy Carter's humiliation and consequent election defeat were

They were concerned, among other things, about the possibility that the whole October Surprise story originated with Soviet disinformation.

They wanted to find out.

Well, Sergei Stepashin conducted a review of Soviet intelligence files on october surprise and he delivered his report to lee hamilton which said yup it was massive collusion drawing or soviet intelligence knew what was going on the only people who really didn't know what's going on with the american people but then some of them don't want to know what's going on but anyway uh... stop option conducted a review of the october surprise files uh... as as the k g b had uh... observed the incident and indeed they had been following the whole thing and uh...

they concluded that there was massive collusion between the reagan and bush campaign and the whole many forces in a specifically named ronald reagan George Bush, William Casey, and Robert Gates as complicit.
