From https://www.rbth.com/history/334691-inside-mitrokhin-archive-spy-ussr-kgb https://www.rbth.com/history/334691-inside-mitrokhin-archive...: > Stashes of arms were maintained in various parts of the [US], ready to be used in the case of an armed conflict. It would be ironic if pred(FSB) [in line with techniques used by the Tsar's Охрана, pred(pred(FSB))] had been using anti-communist groups to gather and stash arms for their ultimate use! (almost as ironic as a farmer fattening hogs, ultimately for schnitzel?) Putting on my tinfoil hat, a grand conspiracy theory along these lines would involve the pred(FSB) first cancelling both Kennedy and Хрущёв to prevent rapproachment, then electing Reagan in 1984 to shatter detente and turn the US away from western european democracy, in the hopes he would bring down the state and party (which had a distressing tendency to promote Gorby types?) for which they worked, enabling them, at long last, to install one of their own as leader of the FSU... Nah, that's crazy talk! </tinfoil> (between the FBI and the KГБ, I almost start to wonder how many truly organic nutjob groups existed in the 1960s US!
