Disinformation and Myth-Making during the Cold War
Disinformation and Myth-Making during the Cold War

Summary/Abstract: During and after the end of the Cold War, the State Department of USA made every effort to convince the world that disinformation was a Russian word and a Soviet practice. Through constant repetition, the concept has become a byword for the dissemination of false information in the period of ideological opposition, but along with the emphasis on foreign efforts, the United States’ own participation in this type of activity is conveniently omitted. Historical facts show that disinformation plays a significant role in the covert operations of American intelligence with a major author and executor in the face of the CIA.
