I think he's a Russian writer, of a nationalist, White-leaning (monarchist) variety. I don't know that much more. I first heard his article mentioned on the radio.
If people are interested in the clear connection between Wall Street/US government/British government, etc, bankers, western powers, support for the Soviet regime, they should do a google search on the works of Dr. Anthony Sutton. The Western elite continuously loaned the Soviet a massive amount of money during the entire farce known as the Cold War. The Western powers, if they had wanted to bring the Soviet empire down, could just have refused to fund it, make illegal the giving of any loans to it, etc. Dr. Sutton was able to demonstrate this (for example, the Gorky auto plant, which produced a massive amount of supplied for the NVA, but, was funded and given technical support by US gov and corporations).

Lenin, I believe, or some other communist leader, made the statement after their abandonment of total, or 'war' socialism' during the early 20s (in which they had abolished all money, prices, etc, resulting in the starvation of millions), that, the Soviet only cared to initially control the the 'controlling heights of industry'. Furthermore, they though the capitalists would sell the robe to hang them (i.e., the capitalists) with.
