Washington D.C., January 28, 2019 – President Trump’s claim that the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 to get rid of terrorists who were coming over the border is false, according to declassified U.S. and Soviet documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University. Just as false, according to the documents, were the repeated U.S. media assertions at the time, driven by President Carter’s national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, that the Soviet motivation was “the age-long dream of Moscow to have direct access to the Indian Ocean” (Document 8).

Andropov and the U.S. Media: A Comparative Study of Yuri Andropov‟s Premiership of the USSR as viewed through the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov was the leader of the Soviet Union from November 12, 1982 until his death on February 9, 1984. During this period, Yuri Andropov was reported on extensively in the New York Times and Chicago Tribune. The cleavage between the traditionally left-wing New York Times and the right-wing populist Chicago Tribune was minimal in their respective coverage of Andropov‟s tenure as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Notwithstanding the issue of nuclear arms control, the Left-Right deviation between the two newspapers did not exist. Both newspapers exhibited a center-right orientation in their coverage of Mr. Andropov in particular and the Soviet Union as a whole.
On Feb. 9, 1984, Soviet President Yuri Andropov, in power for just 15 months, died at age 69.
In 1954 the KGB was established. As both a secret police agency and a spy organization, the KGB became feared both inside the Soviet Union and in the Soviet client states in Eastern Europe, as well as in foreign countries. Yuri Andropov, who led the KGB from 1967 - 1982, was chosen leader of the U.S.S.R. after the death of Leonid Brezhnev, cementing the KGB's long-standing influence on the Soviet government. The current president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, was a KGB agent from 1975-1991.
