I believe Golitsyn is suggesting that Communist control over the Soviet Union was never destroyed, it only changed form to become the Commonweath of Independant States with the Russian Federation as its head. This is according to Sun Tzu's strategy of feigning weakness to trick your enemy. He is suggesting that this would allow the Soviets to recieve money from the West, which they did, and would provide the peaceniks and Democrats here in America a reason to push for drastic military reduction, just as Clinton did from 1992 to 2000. All this, coupled with a consolidation and arming of other Communist nations, (China, North Korea and Cuba), would give the 'undercover' Communists a revitalized economy as the West's expense, an enemy with reduced military and nuclear capability, and the element of surprise. To me, it sounds like a giant Trojan Horse.
