"It is forbidden to even think harshly of the "Mafia," let alone speak harshly." "Entire forests and lakes are closed to the civilian population, and the "Soviet Mafia" use these areas for their personal purposes." "There are still officers who think deeply about what happens in the Soviet Army and the USSR itself... Such people are dangerous, for they think too much!" "The whole of this Party apparatus, from the Politburo down to the lowest nomenclature worker... may be termed a "Mafia" which keeps all the nations of the Soviet Union in subordination and fear." "As well as power over "simple mortals", freedom in personal behaviour and the opportunity to get drunk at official expense, KGB agents have other material privileges." "All-night parties were often attended by East Germans, the representatives of Bad-Freienwalde authorities and directors of undertakings, where soldiers worked. When everyone was drunk the party became and orgy." "...Checkists made the most of these festival dates, that is to say they organize official drinking bouts. KGB officers refer among themselves to such drunken orgies as "cultural-political measures" (abbreviated KPM). Nobody knows where this ironic title originated, but it is a pretty fair description, firstly because these these orgies are official events which give them a political character; secondly they take place with the participation and under the leadership of the KGB chiefs." "Examples I have quoted make it possible to imagine how many "enemies" have been "created" throughout the USSR. These "enemies" now sit in prisons and camps, and how many more "mentally ill" people are undergoing forced "medical" treatment." "The KGB also gives religious representatives no peace. The Orthodox and Catholic Church, the Lutherans, members of various sects are all classed as enemies of Communism, and are to be kept under permanent surveillance. How could it be otherwise? They believe in God, a belief categorically denied by Communists." "The cadets are subjected to intensive communist training and are indoctrinated to become convinced Communists." "The most vivid examples showing how the "glorious Soviet Army" executes orders of the leadership were the suppression of the workers in Hungary, the GDR and Czechoslovakia." "One worker of the Special Department of Ryazan organized a criminal group which concerned itself with the sexual perversion of minors." "According to Smirnov, the KGB was even worse than the Inquisition, which more than not destroyed victims physically, whereas the KGB first attempted to destroy the spirit and morale of an individual and only afterwards, if necessary, subjected his body to labour camp, prison or deportation." "This is how the KGB functions within a country recognising now law or human rights; employing all its powers and insidious methods; stopping at nothing; rapacious and without mercy." "Private said that 'Ko' was criticizing the electoral system in the USSR, saying they were purely formal as there was no one to elect, except the candidate appointed by the Party leadership. And anyway what kind of elections could exist if the country had only one Party? He compared elections in the USSR with a theatrical performance. In spite of Ko's words corresponded to reality and were objective, they were considered to be anti-Soviet." "My work in the KGB played a decisive role. Only then did I really understand what Communism was, and saw the complete cynicism of the Soviet system with my own eyes."
