Defector Kremlin defector describes Soviet news bias and disinformation
Ilya Dzhirkvelov, a former KGB officer who defected to Britain, says Soviet correspondents serve as political intelligence agents. He notes pure journalists feed Tass, while others run separate KGB channels, all shaping world events to fit Moscow's view. He cites Sudan incidents, Geneva espionage, and BBC/VOA influence as signs of rising Western impact on Soviet propaganda.
