A secret memo from Allen Dulles was found in 1955. It showed his new plan for Soviet censorship.

Dulles sent many agents to media offices in the USSR. They cut news about bad events and other problems.

Agents also turned off phones and stopped radio broadcasts. People then believed false stories easily by the 1980s.

Dulles said Russians would cut their own communication wires. They would have no working radio or telegram services.

Only good news about farm work would be left to read. People would believe any small rumor because of this.
