Abkhazian government members and former national guard representatives disseminate conspiracy theory about Dulles Doctrine in Georgian media. On December 13, 2018, a member of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, Akaki Gasviani, presented Dulles Doctrine conspiracy as a real fact, while it was mainly covered by tabloid publications in the Georgian media. According to him, the collapse of the Soviet Union was dictated by the Dulles Doctrine. Gasviani drew link between Dulles Doctrine and Anti-Discrimination Law. According to Gasviani, Anti-Discrimination Law aims at eradicating Orthodoxy as does Doctrine of Dulles.
Guram Lakia, former Chief of stuff of the National Guard spoke about the Doctrine of Dulles in December 17-23 issue of Asaval-Dasavali. According to him, the events of April 9, 1991 were contradicting interests of both Russia and the United States and it was “the victory of the dark forces under the Allan Dulles’ Program”.
The quotes, which allegedly belong to the doctrine of Dulles’, are originally from the novel of the Soviet author Anatoly Ivanov, “Eternal calling” (Вечный зов) and the character of the novel – officer Polipov.
According to the novel “Eternal Call”, the Soviet officer, Polypov, is being captured by German army during World War II. In captivity he is interrogated by SS officer Lakhnovsky, who was a former member of the King’s gendarmerie and the old acquaintance of Polipov. Lakhnowski discloses Hitler’s plans to Polipov. The plan aims at destroying the Soviet (Russian) people through its so-called fifth column in Russia. See quote from the novel that is available electronically on the link (p. 34).
SS officer Lakhnowski from novel “Eternal Call”, Volume II:
„все золото, всю материальную мощь на оболванивание и одурачивание людей! Человеческий мозг, сознание людей способно к изменению. Посеяв там хаос, мы незаметно подменим их ценности на фальшивые и заставим их в эти фальшивые ценности поверить! Как, спрашиваешь? Как?! Мы найдем своих единомышленников… своих союзников и помощников в самой России! Мы будем браться за людей с детских, юношеских лет, будем всегда главную ставку делать на молодежь, станем разлагать, развращать, растлевать ее! …Да, развращать! Растлевать! Мы сделаем из них циников, пошляков, космополитов!“

Propaganda Methods: |
Picturing fictional work as genuine information |
Conspiracy Theory- platforms exert huge influence on target audience through using conspiracies and pseudo-science. Similar methods promote sowing fear and doubts among the population. Scientific and expert opinions, as well as authentic scientific papers are totally neglected. It is difficult to break through the circle of conspiracies, because the propagandists depict the facts debunking conspiracies as yet another “proof” of conspiracy. |
