Abstract
At the present time, the active measures program is perceived as a new
structural innovation, conceived by the security and intelligence services of the eastern
side of Europe, without taking into account its historical and evolutionary side.
The hypothesis of the article is that disinformation, deception and forgery,
resilient concepts of the Soviet program of active measures, were real, sophisticated
instruments that generated strategic events in order to create advantages for the Soviets
in the short, medium and long term in the European field of security and defence. I have
been following the logical and heuristic aspects of the research hypothesis: logical
because they are a coherent conception of the past which also has implications today;
heuristic, because the research enrols new data and information in the scientific circuit,
from recently declassified archival documents, in order to discover and prove the truth.
In the elaboration of the article, I considered the research of the relational
process between disinformation, deception, forgery and the historical phenomena they
generated.
Keywords: security, active measures, intelligence, disinformation, deception,
forgeries.
