Soviet documents ‘show Abbas was KGB agent’; Fatah decries ‘smear campaign’

[IsraelTimes] Israeli researchers: Notes from USSR archivist who defected indicate PA president was ’handled’ in 1980s

Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
was a Soviet spy in Damascus in the 1980s, Israel’s Channel 1 television reported Wednesday, citing information it said was included in an archive smuggled out of the USSR.!

According to Channel 1’s foreign news editor Oren Nahari, the famed Mitrokhin archive, kept by KGB defector Vasily Mitrokhin, revealed that Abbas was a Soviet mole in Damascus in 1983.

The documents -- obtained by Israeli researchers Isabella Ginor and Gideon Remez -- purportedly show that Abbas, code-named Krotov (mole), worked under Mikhail Bogdanov, who was then stationed in Damascus and is today Vladimir Putin

...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead...
’s envoy to the Middle East.

Bogdanov was caught in a diplomatic tussle earlier this week after trying to broker a summit between Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Moscow, who both claimed a willingness to meet while decrying the other for allegedly refusing.

Mitrokhin was a senior KGB archivist who defected to the UK in 1992, and his edited notes on various KGB operations were released in 2014. His handwritten notes remain classified by MI5.

The archivist’s notes on the KGB are considered among the most complete information available on Soviet intelligence operations. He claimed that the KGB recruited the then head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine, Wadi Haddad, as an agent in the 1970s.

His writings also revealed that Haddad, operating under the code name NATSIONALIST, was given Soviet assistance in funding and arming the PFLP.

According to an Eastern Soviet bloc intelligence agent who defected to the US in the 1970s, the PLO, the

Democratic Front for the Liberation of Paleostine
... a breakaway faction of the Pöpular Frönt för the Liberation of Paleostine. The are regarded as the most intellectual of Paleostinian fedayeen groups, smoking cheap cigarettes and drawing heavily on Marxist-Leninist theory to explain their crappy lives. They can occasionally be seen strutting through the streets of Paleostine, dressed up like soldiers and lugging firearms, though they seldom manage to hit anything and then usually by accident. This may be because of their habit of wearing black masks that cut off most of their vision. That would also explain their habit of occasionally walking into walls, which is a well-known attribute of those immersed in true understanding of the dialectic...
and the PFLP all received help from the KGB.

Romanian Lt. General Pacepa told US officials that in 1972 that then-PLO leader Yasser Arafat closely collaborated with the KGB and the Romanian Securitate service, and PLO guerrilla fighters were secretly trained by Soviet intelligence agents.

In response to the Channel 1 report, Fatah official Nabil Shaath denied that Abbas was ever a KGB operative, calling the claim a "smear campaign" that attempted to distract from potentially Russian-led peace talks in Moscow.

Throughout his early life, Abbas developed a network of Paleostinian political activists from across the Arab world that would eventually become Fatah and the Paleostine Liberation Organization (PLO).

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Abbas studied at the People’s Friendship University of Russia, where he wrote his doctoral thesis, "The Secret Relationship between German Nazis and Zionists," which has been accused of denying the scope of the Holocaust.

After earning his doctorate, Abbas moved to Tunisia where he took a more active role in PLO leadership, and worked his way up to chairman of the organization. He became PA president following Arafat’s death in 2004.

#5 Russias_Proxy_War_Against_Israel

Long before 1967, Russia had planned to make Israel the site of an initial conflict with the West. Drawing from the Mitrokhin archive, it is clear that the Soviet Union had, in 1964-66, stashed war materiel in Israel.
May 13, 1967: The KGB, having planted agents among the Egyptian President's closest advisers, warns Egypt to expect "an Israeli invasion of Syria immediately after Independence Day, with the aim of overthrowing the Damascus regime." No invasion took place. Simultaneously, Russia supported terrorist organizations in the area, as witnessed by Abba Eban.
The Six-Day War in 1967: Russia officially cuts ties with Israel. According to the testimony of former Soviet personnel, there had been a plan to strike Israel and the Dimona reactor a year in advance. Fearing a nuclear Israel, the Soviet Union flew reconnaissance flights over Dimona, correctly predicting this would provoke Israel to strike first.
Following cues from the Soviet Union, Egypt's second in command insisted on Egypt's military destruction of the Dimona facility but never had the opportunity due to Israel quickly routing Egyptian forces.
The US Embassy in Cairo, along with Israeli Intelligence, believed that Egypt and Syria had the full backing of the USSR. A KGB officer and second secretary of the Soviet Embassy left Deputy Undersecretary of State Raymond L. Garthoff with the impression that US involvement in the Six Day War would draw the Soviet Union into the conflict. Egypt Embassy's political counselor warned that, “[The] Soviet objective is to transform Arab-Israeli struggle into showdown between Communists and anti-Communists for control of Middle East, and Soviets are succeeding.”
The Soviet premier himself would warn in a cable to the President, “A very crucial moment has now arrived which forces us, if military actions are not stopped in the next few hours, to adopt an independent decision. We are ready to do this. However, these actions may bring us into a clash which will lead to a grave catastrophe….We propose that you demand from Israel that it unconditionally cease military action.…We purpose to warn Israel that if this is not fulfilled, necessary actions will be taken, including military.”
On June 5, orders came for a detachment of Soviet volunteers for a landing, later aborted, on the Israeli coast. At the same time, the bomber and fighter/reconnaissance units, including MiG-21s, were put on full combat alert.
The Commander of the Soviet Navy had given standing orders that, “If the Israelis try to blockade the Egyptian or Syrian coast, or to hamper the activity of Soviet vessels bringing arms and materiel to these countries, steps should be taken and arms used if necessary.” There are also unconfirmed reports of minor skirmishes between Soviet and Israeli ships, that fortunately ended without escalation.
As a result of the conflict, Israel lost 779 soldiers. Egypt lost 80% of its military equipment, new and Russian built, 11,500 soldiers and officers killed, 5,000 soldiers and 500 officers captured, and 20,000 troops wounded. Jordan suffered 23,000 killed and wounded. Syria suffered 7,500 dead and wounded. The Syrians lost half of their tanks and almost all the artillery they had positioned on the Golan Heights.
At the end of the Six Day War, the USSR threatened a naval landing on Israeli shores, complete with air support. Evidence from intelligence agencies indicates the threat was not empty.
Paradoxically, the military failure of the Soviet Union's allies served to strengthen the USSR's position, as those states were now dependent on the Soviet Union for military and diplomatic support.
July 1967: Moscow launched a propaganda campaign against Zionism as a "world threat" and "all-powerful international force.”

February 4, 1969: Yasser Arafat is made Chairman of the PLO, which subsequently establishes a firm relationship with Russia.
