Nor , evidently, had it taken note of Gorbachev's confirmation at the 28th CPSU [Communist Party of the Soviet Union] Congress that the 'new independence status' of the Republic Communist Parties was ordered from the top-not seized against the wishes of an impotent central power in Moscow.  As Gorbachev was careful to point out, the ;new independent status' of the Republic Parties would not lead to the break--up of the Soviet Union in actual fact (although it would set a precedent for the break-up, for instance of Canada and the United Kingdom), or to 'a fragmentation of Communists and nations, but to a new internationalist unity of the CPSU on a common ideological basis.

Thus President Gorbachev  revealed in July 1990 that the 'independent' Republics would be collaborating on the closest possible basis with Moscow in pursuit of the Strategy - exactly as the Russian defector Anatoliy Golitsyn had explained in a Memorandum submitted to the CIA-Central Intelligence Agency well ahead of these events, in March 19990.  Leninists dialectical dualism had enabled the Soviets to pull off a feat which nobody in the West could have imagined: the sudden 'disappearance' of the State component of the Party-State duology, with no fundamental practical consequences, since the organisational and 'general Staff' structures of the Party [though temporary hidden from view and operating 'underground' for the purposes of the strategic deception) remained intact, and in total control of the situation.  the Author recalls that televised reports from Moscow during December 1991 and into the following year showed lights burning late at night at the Foreign Ministry's offices implying that the 'general Staff' was working round the clock to modulate the world's perception and reception of the 'changes' over which it was presiding.

One of the Foreign Ministry's most pressing objectives was to ensure that the new, 'controlled' political 'independence of the 'former Republics' implemented via the Republic Communist Parties, was unreservedly accepted as genuine by the world at large. [To be precise to the many 'useful idiots' in their political offices around the world but particularly in the USA and Britain].
