Go to PalestineFacts.org.

Scroll down the page to "Military Provocation By Arab Countries and Soviet Disinformation," then see the following text.

"At the same time, and unknown to the Israelis, the Soviet Union mounted a disinformation campaign pushing Egypt to join Syria against Israel. At that time, the Soviets were providing military and economic aid to both Syria and Egypt. On May 13, 1967 a Soviet parliamentary delegation visited Cairo and informed the Egyptian leaders that Israel had concentrated eleven to thirteen brigades along the Syrian border in preparation for an assault within a few days, with the intention of overthrowing the revolutionary Syrian Government. This was a complete fabrication designed by the Soviets to destabilize the Middle East. Similar false information may have been given to Egypt by the Soviets as early as May 2."

A long read but very interesting story. It is possible that the Soviets had planned the Six Day War as a way to get a strong foothold in the Middle East.
