“Russia’s coming fascism threatens man’s survival. There are no political exits. The West must act now to save the world from certain doom.” This was the call from Dr. Leonid Gozman, president of the Russian free-trade organization Union of Right Forces (SPS) and fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Ambassador Stephen Sestanovich, senior fellow for Russian and Eurasian Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and Miriam Lanskoy, director for Russia and Eurasia at NED.
The three spoke at NED on January 20 at an event called “Russia After Crimea: A ‘Brave New World,’” which sowed the seeds of fear in the minds of the journalists and policy makers who attended.
NED is a private foundation funded by Congress with connections to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In a 1990s interview, CIA case officer Phil Agee explained, “Instead of having the CIA going around like before behind the scenes and trying to manipulate the [political] process secretly by inserting money here and instruction there and so forth, they have now a psychic, which is this National Endowment for Democracy.”
