George Soros explicitly declares his involvement in the collapse of the USSR and an attempt to repeat the same thing in Russia.
Soros: “My first project… although the first was in South Africa… but then Eastern Europe and the USSR. As the Soviet empire collapsed, I moved in and picked up the pieces. First in Hungary in 1984, in Poland and China in 1987. So the Soros empire replaced the Soviet empire.”
Host: What are your plans?
Soros: “Now I am most involved in Russia. We repeat what happened in the USSR. But, unfortunately, there is a big difference. When the Union was collapsed, Europe was experiencing its high integration. Now reverse, we have resurgent Russia, and the disintegrated Europe. Sad situation.»
