Yuri Bezmenov: The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion

In this 1984 interview, former KGB agent, Yuri Bezmenov explains how to destroy a nation using a tactic he calls "Ideological Subversion."

Demoralization:
For this step in the process, 15 – 20 years are needed. That is the amount of time required to educate a generation. Helping along the way are media and teachers who have become sympathetic (consciously or unconsciously) to the theoretical causes of the subverting nation.

Destabilization:
Following the earlier phase, this is a two to five year period to change the target country’s foreign relations, defense, and economy.

Crisis:
Around six weeks of chaos as a climatic turning point.

Normalization:
This stage changes the appreciation of what the status quo looks like. Bezmenov’s description of this phase also includes military take over.
