Im not sure if this is the right sub, so please point me in the right direction if I'm in the wrong place.

I saw a post here on Poal (on the front page, I didn't look at the sub) a few days ago regarding a Soviet NKVD PsyOp designed to encourage dissenters to identify themselves by availing to controlled oppositional organizations throughout the USSR. In this way, dissenters who might otherwise be seen as patriots were unmasked and sent to gulags or killed.

Does anyone know the name of this program, or have information about how these programs work and their effectiveness? I'm genuinely interested in this as a topic.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the recommendations. Have you tried Lithium epub reader? I use it to epubs from b-ok.org. They've claim to be the world's largest electronic library, I've used them to read all manner of literature that I wouldn't otherwise be able to get, such as first editions of texts before they've been edited. I'll have to see if they have the works you've mentioned.
