In a 1998 conversation I had with Col. Stanislav Lunev, a leading GRU defector, I was given an ultra-simplified version of the 1980s Soviet war plan against NATO's position in Western Europe. According to Lunev, the First Strategic Echelon of the Warsaw Pact would drive over NATO's nuclear land mines and be destroyed. Then the Second Strategic Echelon would advance to exchange tactical nuclear blows with NATO forces. Then the Third Strategic Echelon would overrun Europe. The devastation of Central Europe in this plan would have been very great indeed. In fact, the existence of this plan and the psychological pressure it exerted on Europe resulted in a Russian peace offensive that has effectively disarmed and de-nuclearized Europe in a remarkable way, so that Russian strategists are near to their goal of bypassing Europe entirely in any future war with America. Only a few largely political obstacles remain for Moscow, and although these are proving to be quite stubborn, future maneuvers are sure to eventually place Europe in a position of genuine neutrality at the outset of the next great war. While none of this is conclusive, it is very suggestive. First, readers should know that the gulag work camp system was never dismantled in Russia. This would have been too devastating for the economy. And second, the amnesties of 1999 to 2001 exactly mirror amnesties proclaimed by Stalin between 1939 and 1941, when hundreds of thousands of prisoners were shifted into the Second and Third Strategic Echelons of the Red Army. Given Putin's 13 May 2000 order regarding administrative units paralleling the military districts, we find a definite pre-war pattern surprisingly similar to Stalin's pre-war pattern. http://www.jrnyquist.com/jan23/new_page_1.htm |
