On the subversive aspirations of the enemy among the Soviet creative intelligentsia
The materials received by the State Security Committee of the USSR testify to the fact that, while carrying out purposeful subversive actions aimed at “discrediting the Party’s course of accelerating the socio-economic development of the country and further improving social progress,” the enemy pays special attention to representatives of the Soviet creative intelligentsia, .. and, first of all, figures of literature and art ..
Taking into account the general rise in political and labor activity in the life of our country, Western intelligence services and centers of ideological sabotage are modernizing the forms and methods of subversive activity aimed at “ideological deformation of socialist society”, inciting revisionist and opposition sentiments, trying to push Soviet writers on the path of moving away from the principles of socialist realism and partisanship in literature. In order to achieve its hostile designs, the enemy seeks to implant in the minds of the creative intelligentsia a nihilistic assessment of all periods of the practice of socialist construction in the USSR. Once again, political degenerates such as Solzhenitsyn, Kopelev, Maksimov, Aksenov, Vladimov and the like, who have embarked on the path of active hostile activity, are being “reanimated” and advanced into the arena of ideological struggle. Many of them became direct participants and perpetrators of anti-Soviet provocations and large-scale propaganda campaigns. On the instructions of the special services, they are searching for like-minded people and are trying to establish illegal channels of communication with negatively minded people from among the creative intelligentsia of our country.
Taking into account the party’s course towards the further democratization of Soviet society, the enemy seeks, first of all, to subject to massive indoctrination those writers who previously allowed ideological vacillations, did not always stand the test of civic maturity and class conviction, directly or covertly questioned correctness of the party’s line on collectivization, dispossession of kulaks, the fight against Trotskyism, the national policy of the CPSU, declared the absence of social justice and creative freedom in our country, demanded to “remove censorship” and bring literature and art out of the control of party organs.
Attention is drawn to the fact that just these questions were presented by Solzhenitsyn in 1967 in a provocative letter to the ІU Congress of Soviet Writers, in support of which 80 members of the Writers’ Union of the USSR then spoke out. Among them are Rybakov, Svetov, Soloukhin, Okudzhava, Iskander, Mozhaev, Rodin, Kornilov.
The available data show that throughout the subsequent period, these writers were under close attention of the special services and centers of ideological sabotage of the enemy. At present, their hostile indoctrination has become significantly more active both from the standpoint of the representative offices of the capitalist countries in Moscow, and during periods of travel abroad through international cultural exchange, for lecturing, at the invitation of private individuals and various
percent pensioners; 3.6 percent are collective farmers and 13.2 percent are people with no specific occupation, as well as those serving sentences in corrective labor institutions.
Among the authors found are 75 members and candidate members of the CPSU, 157 Komsomol members.
The reasons for the production and distribution of anti-Soviet and slanderous materials by the authors identified are as follows: hostile beliefs of 24 people; nationalist sentiments – 18; the influence of the enemy’s ideological sabotage and political immaturity – 331; hooligan motives and selfish goals 217; incorrect response to shortcomings in supplying the population with various types of food products and temporary material and domestic difficulties – 25; illegal actions of local officials and personal grievances 23 ; mental illness – 208. The reasons for the production of anonymous materials by the remaining 278 authors are currently being clarified by us.
After an appropriate check of the identified authors, preventive and preventive measures were taken in relation to 551 people, 81 people were brought to criminal responsibility (28 of them under Articles 70 and 1901 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR and the corresponding article of the Hay Republics), mentally medical measures were applied to sick persons.
The State Security Committee is carrying out work aimed at further increasing the efficiency in the search for authors and distributors of anti-Soviet and slanderous anonymous materials.

Sovietological centers and organizations.
An analysis of the materials shows that the selectivity and differentiated individual approach to some Soviet writers allow the enemy not only to obtain information of interest to him about the situation among the creative intelligentsia and the attitude to the activities of the party and government, to identify moods, creative plans and intentions of a certain part of it, but also in some cases to initiate the preparation of manuscripts of a tendentious orientation for publication in the West and use for purposes hostile to us.
