establishment of Soviet states.”
In another secret meeting in April, 1948, Stalin said:
“The way to assure success is for us to create not one, but two undercover subverter
networks. They will operate simultaneously in all the countries of the capitalist world.
The undercover subverters of the first network will operate quite independently of the
second ... In each capitalistic country one undercover subverter network will be
composed of tried and trusted communists who are nationals of that country. Their
activities will be directed by Comrade Suslov who will be responsible to the Politburo.
This network of undercover subverters will comprise of men and women of ability and
intelligence, especially selected for these qualities. As soon as they undertake the
undercover subverter work, they will sever all contact with the Communist Party– and
dedicate themselves to working for the Party by indirect methods. They will be called
upon to join and operate within organizations and societies that are bourgeois and
opposed to communism and the Soviet Union. They will engage in undercover subverter
activities within these organizations and societies on behalf of the Communist Party. It
will be necessary for them to conceal their previous and present connection with the
Communist Party. They will create the impression they are opposed to the ideology of
communism ... The second network of undercover subverters will consist of operators of
Soviet nationality. These comrades will be under direct orders from our Secret Service
Headquarters (KGB). A new department of Secret Service Headquarters will be created
forthwith, to be named ‘Special Division for Subversion.’ The directors of this Special
Division will select and train recruits of Soviet nationality for this professional
undercover master-subverters network, in the same way that they select and train Soviet
comrades for work abroad as Secret Service Network Operators...”
Mikhail Suslov’s undercover subverter network was referred to as Institute 631’s Subversive
Cadres, and later that year, they sent a coded directive to the world’s Communist Party leaders:
“The leaders of all Communist Parties must select completely trustworthy comrades who will
take up undercover subverters work outside the Communist Party. Their activity will be
revolutionary and subversive. It is essential that these chosen comrades sever all connections
with the Party. It is desirable that they become regarded as antagonistic to the Party, and in
conflict with its policy.”
Thus, the Red ‘fifth column’ was instituted in order to infiltrate the West, While appearing to
be anti-communist, by going to church, getting involved in charities, and voting conservatively;
they were secretly attending training centers to learn techniques of sabotage, terrorism and
subversion in order to instigate strikes, provoke riots and stage demonstrations.
Inside the Soviet Union, candidates were chosen to attend the Marx-Engels School near
Moscow, for what they were told would be training for a career within the Party. The recruits
would then be sent to the Lenin Technical School at Verkhovnoye, which is a complex spread
out of over seven square miles in a desolate area. During the time they were here, their family,
and friends, did not know their whereabouts. The training lasted 12 months, and consisted of
military-like training, such as survival techniques, various methods of hand-to-hand combat,
handling firearms and heavy combat equipment, how to make and deactivate explosives,
methods of electronic surveillance, and the use of poisons. If the recruit passed, they would be
