Either you haven't researched the man, or you're a Commie agent sent to coverup the truth Yeah, that's the ticket... A Commie agent!!! You ought to calm down, junior.

I don't think you understand. Those are literally the only two options; either you don't know what you're talking about, i.e. you're a dunce, or you're spreading misinformation.
There's no other reason to be saying Golityn's a fake. He predicted actions by the Soviet Union that NOBODY could have predicted.
I have heard some here say that Golitsyn was STILL with the KGB when he made his claims. This is patently ludicrous for the following reasons:
1) Russia had nothing to gain by sending Golitsyn.
2) For years, Russia was actively trying to KILL him. Even now, unlike most other "defectors", the exact whereabouts of Golitsyn are UNKNOWN.
3) If Golitsyn was a fake, that would mean Russia was WEAK, and sent Golitsyn to create the impression that Russia was STRONGER than they really were by saying Russia was concealing the depth of it's intentions.
Russia would only do this if they were AFRAID of the United States and thought the US was preparing an attack on the United States. This is the only reason for sending Golitsyn as a "misinformation" agent; this is the only reason for portraying Russia as "stronger" than they really were.
It just doesn't make sense. The United States would only attack Russia if they were attacked by Russia. This was the foundation of the whole MAD(mutually-assured-destruction) policy. You nuke us, we'll nuke you.
But we were never going to launch a pre-emptive strike on Russia. The Russians knew this. So why would they want to create the impression in the minds of the Americans that they were more deceptive than they really were?
The answer? They didn't. Golitsyn was an anomaly; one who escaped, and lived to tell his story. The Soviets never quit the war; they simply switched fronts. This is the real truth.
