Vladimir Bukovsky

Yeah, and then he apparently also had a Russian guy employed full-time working on Russian deals.

We have friends in common.

And the guy that Mandelson hired wasn't some sort of, like me, a refugee from Russia who escaped from the totalitarian state, worked for the BBC.

He hired the former correspondent, London correspondent of Interfax, which is a Russian government news agency.

And at a certain point, I realized Those releases were very orchestrated because they came through clearance of the intelligence agencies, either in Washington or Moscow.

It wasn't as if they wandered into an archive one day and came out with suitcases of material, which is actually something that Vladimir Bukovsky, the late Vladimir Bukovsky, the great Soviet dissident, actually did.

This isn't what Matrokin, the KGB archivist who was copying whatever he could, and got it out to England where I will add, it was essentially slow walked and dumbed down by British intelligence.

So in other words, the documents we have that have sort of, this is my new thing, these Soviet archival documents that have been presented to us as, oh my gosh, the real story, they have in a sense replaced our own anti-communist history, which is sitting there in these archives of the house Committee on American Activities, the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, the Permanent Government Committee on Investigations, which was McCarthy's committee.

You can find it all the

way in Bukowski's

file.

He used to go to Russia and kowtow to them and tell them, there's files we've discovered on how the Russians were totally manipulating.

And this is the way that the regime in our country, both in Soviet times and now under Putin, are treating, you know, their quote-unquote most dangerous political prisoners.

This is the way, you know, Bukovsky and Sharansky and Erlov were treated back in the 70s and 80s.

This is the way political opponents are treated today.

You are kept in solitary confinement, in total isolation.
