Union. In 1991, between 14 and 19 billion dollars in foreign currency
were taken out of the Soviet Union. As a result, production sank
drastically. (Noam Chomsky, "You Cannot Murder History", Gothenburg,
1995, p. 511.) This action immediately ruined the Soviet Union, since 79
per cent of the workforce worked, in one way or another, in the war
industry, which constantly needed foreign currency.
Even the Tsar's wines were sold at various auctions in the 1980s.
13 000 bottles of Massandra wine, as well as 62 other bottles which had
belonged to the cabinet office, were sold at Sotheby's in London in March
1990. These bottles of wine were worth nearly a million dollars. They
fetched a price of 280 dollars per bottle in 1987. The gold and diamond
supply had also been significantly reduced in order to pay running bills
already in the 1980s.
President George Bush informed Mikhail Gorbachev on 27 May 1991
that 150 million dollars had been transferred to the latter's bank account in
Switzerland. Gorbachev used to call President Bush "my friend George".
All this is evident from an interview with the KGB general N. Leontiev.
The interview was published in Komsomolskaya Pravda on 26 December
1995. Gorbachev had forbidden his telephone conversations with Bush to
be tapped. The KGB tapped and recorded all the conversations anyway.
The Soviet leaders made a secret pact with the United States after the
collapse of the Soviet Empire, according to which the most important
pieces of art in the country were to be transported to the United States.
Russia received tractors and grain in return. These lines can be read in the
pact: "This contract is secret. Art experts do not know about it. If they got
to know about it, they would become hysterical. This is why it is
important to keep it secret." TASS still managed to obtain a copy of the
contract in New York. This art for wheat deal was made on the 29th of
October 1991, after the breakdown of the Soviet Union! This was one of
Gorbachev's last crimes against the Russian people before his resignation
in December. His previous crimes are exposed in my book "Bakom
Gorbatjovs kulisser" / "Behind Gorbachev's Scenes" (Stockholm, 1987).
Soon after this, President Bush sent aid money for food in the form of a
loan of 1.5 billion dollars to the Soviet Republics (except for the Baltic
states, which had become independent) which was to be repaid
{Expressen, 19th of November 1991.) At the same time he demanded that
Gorbachev should use violence if necessary. On the 8th of July 1992 in
