Yuri Alexandrovitch Bezmenov is a former KGB propagandist who was assigned to New Delhi, India,
defected to the West in 1970, and was interviewed by Edward Griffin in 1985. Bezmenov explains his
background, some of his training, and exactly how Soviet propaganda is spread in other countries in
order to subvert their teachers, politicians, and other policy makers to a mindset receptive to the
Soviet ideology. He also explains in detail the goal of Soviet propaganda as total subversion of
another country and the 4 step formula for achieving this goal. He recalls the details of how he
escaped India, defected to the West, and settled in Montreal as an announcer for the CBC.

Yuri Alexandrovic Bezmenov was born in 1939 in the former Soviet Union and worked as a journalist
for Pravda. In this capacity, he secretly answered to the KGB. His true job was to further the aims
of communist Russia. After being assigned to a station in India, Bezmenov eventually grew to love
the people and culture of India, while, at the same time, he began to resent the KGB-sanctioned
oppression of intellectuals who dissented from Moscow’s policies. He decided to defect to the
West. Bezmenov/Schuman is best remembered for his Pro-American Anti-communist lectures and books
