The Destabilization of the USSR: Anti-Fascist Archive #36 w/ Dave Emory (1991)

ORIGINAL: This program analyzes the Persian Gulf War, U.S. covert action in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and Reagan-Bush defense and foreign policies as coordinated elements of a strategy to pressure and destabilize Russia. The broadcast focuses on American promotion of resurgent fascist elements in that part of the world and the possibility that the American strategy might result in a return of the Cold War or the start of a third world war.
