Before Stalin came into power, he was Lenin's lieutenant, and he was in charge of recruiting Soviet minorities to communism. Pushing feminism and racial equality
was part of Stalin's plan to undermine the West... but not by putting women in the workforce! He wanted women and minorities to get mad and support Communists, not to become capitalists themselves. Some people read waaaay too much into some things.
There is a lot more randomness, absurdity, and coincidence in history than the conspiracists want to belive. Why can't they accept that the world doesn't make sense? Why do they need to try to connect every single dot, tie down every lose end?
"Pushing feminism and racial equality was part of Stalin's plan to undermine the West... but not by putting women in the workforce! He wanted women and minorities to get mad and support Communists, not to become capitalists themselves. "Actually if you read Marx's manifesto, integration of women into the labor force is one of it's core components. The communist want everyone working to support the government. Women staying at home to raise families are a privilege of the bourgeoisie class.
But on another note, it seems I read a story similar to this about a year ago, but the main character in cahoots with the CIA was Jean Dixon.
