"But what about the West? The reason they so adamantly objected to any trial or investigation of the Soviet system became obvious to me when I accessed the archives of the Central Committee. The degree of secret cooperation between the left in the West and Moscow was incredible. We always suspected it, but what we discovered was much bigger.
Above all, I found very interesting documents indicating that, at the end of the Soviet era, Western leaders—particularly left-wing leaders—who visited Moscow sought all kinds of assistance, money, and support. They quite clearly and openly explained that they were not interested in the collapse of the Soviet Union; they wanted a strong Soviet Union. As I quote, 'A collapse of socialism in the East will bring a crisis of this idea in the West.' They were concerned about their own ideology and position in the West, not about us.
Indeed, as we could all see, without studying how and why the socialist system collapsed in the East, they proceeded to do the same in the West, with results that are quite predictable. Look at the European Union today, which, in my view, is just a pale copy of the Soviet Union. It was created with the aim of uniting East and West. There was a concept that one day the Soviet system would become milder and the West would become Social Democratic, leading to convergence—the theory of convergence.
That's why the structures of the European Union were built so similarly to Soviet structures: to ensure they would fit together very well when the time came. By adopting the same model and supporting the same ideology, they were merely biding their time before the crisis would come."
