There is credible testimony that the collapse of the Soviet Union was pre-planned by Kremlin strategists, that it has been carefully managed by the secret police and other hidden structures of the former Soviet state. There are those who argue that liberalization in the former Soviet Union is an ongoing totalitarian experiment in controlled democracy. The purpose of this experiment has partly to do with the reinvigoration of the totalitarian regime. By replacing neo-Stalinism with a more subtle system based on perceptions management, the Kremlin can better monitor those elements of Russian society which oppose them. Another purpose of this experiment in controlled liberalization is to weaken the West by taking away its image of the enemy. Without an obvious threat from Russia, America would be encouraged to disarm.
