MI6 WANTED TO LAUNCH VIOLENT COLD WAR CAMPAIGN TO UNDERMINE THE USSR

MI6 wanted to mount a violent Cold War campaign of subversion and propaganda to undermine the Soviet Union.
Ideas ranged from minor disruption – throwing “stink
bombs” at Communist Party meetings – to “liquidation” of selected
individuals in Russia and its allies.
The plan, revealed in official papers from 1948 that were released yesterday, was blocked by horrified Foreign Office chiefs.
