Mr. Bezmenov was never a KGB operative. He was journalist for Ria Novosti and also informant for KGB.


He was a KGB "operative" but not an officer[1].

He was not a KGB "operative" or intelligence agent, no matter what some WP list says.

Bezmenov was forced to act as an informer. He worked for Ria Novosti and then as a Soviet press-officer.


so you're saying the story he tells in the video is a lie, complaining about Wikipedia being wrong, but also not backing up your claims with a source?


Not all what he says, but some is. Bezmenov a defector with limited importance trying to compensate by making the boldest possible claims.

I made the comment so that people don't just listen and accept. Everyone can do their own searches and find out the truth easily. The truth on this is not deeply hidden or obscure.

I did a search on "Yuri Bezmenov", and the only confirmation I could find for your claims were a few posts on Quora that had no citations. So if you have some sources that back up what you're saying, please share.
