1. The attached charts, prepared informally on the basis of various.
unclassified materials, is designed to clarify the pattern of Soviet
bloc aims and tactics in the newly-emerging countries.
2. These charts list typical Soviet bloc actions on the unofficial
as well as the official plane in support of Soviet objectives at various
stages in the development of a newly erqer/ing country. The charts
illustrate:
- the correlation between official and unofficial bloc actions;
- the importance which economic diplomacy plays among the many
influences which the bloc brings to bear on a target country;
- the careful adaptation of Soviet bloc official and unofficial
moves to the particular stage of the target country's political development;
- the preparation by the bloc and local Co)rvraunists of progressively
improved tactical positions.
3. This presentation singles out the salient features of bloc
policies and tactics in respect of newly-emerging states. It selects
certain important stages in the develorrnent of an emergent nation
and lists the aims and the actions of the bloc which experience has shown
to be characteristic of bloc policy in each of these stages. The charts
are not intended as a description of any particular country, nor as a
prediction of the success or failure of any given course of bloc action.
:oreover, the list of Soviet moves ~.nd aims is neither exhaustive nor
categorical; Soviet tactics are subject to considerable variation
depending upon local and international circumstances, and changing Soviet
imperatives. In short, a variety of considerations and conflicting priori-
ties will cause deviations from the pattern set out in the charts.
4. There is, nevertheless, a coherent pattern to bloc action
that reflects long-terr_1 Communist objectives, among which the following
are paramount:
- to undermine the position of the '.rest in the underdeveloped
regions, and thereby hasten the "disintegration of Capitalism";
- to promote the growth of Con ninist influence and progressive
control over a given target country, the neighboring region, and the
underdeveloped ~areas~of ?the?world.
