Moscow Rules were often analysed, understood

The Bengali Communists had wanted further elucidation on Oleg Gordievsky, they had been taken by surprise on March 4, 2025, the day Gordievsky had passed away. This was a 'demanded' blogpost.

It was not so easy, NS Road, to excuse Anjali over her actions towards Antara. 

It was not enough to say that Mikhail Gorbachev had sent Oleg Gordievsky to Britain with an ulterior motive, and Anjali's household had thereby become dysfunctional.

Let's assume this was the way Gorbachev thought: the War on Terror, after the 9/11 attacks, would be completely controlled by the Pentagon, that way Washington DC's Caucasian character was preserved. On the other hand, World War 4 would be just about the US Navy, consequent to which, Washington DC would become a gathering place of the Global South, its Caucasian origins would be wiped out.

Till such an objective was achieved, Antara was to be held a hostage in New Delhi.

Washington DC as a gathering place of the Global South meant a complete and formal takeover of the United States by the KGB. The Russians, as we knew, had a pact with the Nazis in 1939, most of its intent was still not fully understood. 

Given such a context, why would Anjali's ill-treatment of Antara, the thwarting and reducing of the younger daughter, be an insignificant matter, something to be ignored or forgotten? Did the CPM in Kolkata think that the fall of the United States to Moscow was an insignificant matter?

It was not that the Soviets didn't keep Anjali informed about the likes of Gordievsky, who were allowed to the defect to the West. 

"No matter how they behaved, what kind of a low profile they maintained, the Austrian Habsburgs, those that used the surname, continued to be the topmost figure in the Balkans, because of the US intelligence community. We needed MI6 on our side, provide it a stash of internal documents if US interference was to cease in the Balkans."

That was the second half of the 1980s, we all know that the Soviet tactic worked successfully, given how the 1990s turned out for the Balkans.

The Hat didn't merely emerge out of thin, weakling air.

ii. If World War 4 over the US Navy was to transfer Washington DC to the KGB, it implied several prominent participants of the War on Terror had an arrangement with the INC, to provide crucial intelligence on the way forward whenever Microsoft or the Mumbai tycoons demanded it.

It was currency-related espionage, only the Pentagon and the INC could think that it had no consequences, no follow-up investigation, no repercussions.

The moment Antara made a breakthrough, what was up for her next was immediately conveyed to INC in New Delhi. Thereby, status-quo could be maintained for decades.
