	Alexander Shelepin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexander Nikolayevich Shelepin (Russian: Александр Николаевич Шелепин, 18 August 1918, Voronezh - October 24, 1994) was the head of KGB from December 25, 1958 to November 13, 1961.
		Shelepin then became the second head of the Soviet secret police, the NKVD, which had been reorganized and reformed as the KGB after the death of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
		Khrushchev appointed Shelepin in part because of several major KGB defections in the 1950s during the tenure of Ivan Serov as head of the KGB.

		The prime movers in the October 1964 overthrow, as later became widely known, were a couple of career-mongers spawned by the Komsomol ã Central Committee secretary Alexan-der Shelepin and his protege, KGB chairman Vladimir Semichastny; but the main beneficiary of the revolt proved to be Leonid Brezhnev.
		Brezhnev turned out to be totally competent in just one area ã keeping the power that so unexpectedly dropped in his lap, by sucking up to the majority of the Party bosses and relentlessly crushing any individual who could be suspected, on however slight evidence, of having designs on his primacy.
		So Shelepin was duly gobbled up, as were the other more prominent members of the anti-Khrushchev cabal, and Brezhnev presided, unchallenged for 18 years, over the countrys descent into the morass of the "stagnation period."

	Design paranoia
		It shed the Stalin cult paranoia, which had short-circuited primitive yet effective offensive operations of the Lenin era in favor of a program of long-term "disinformation," a program whose goal was to sow confusion in Western circles about the evolution of the Soviet bloc.
		This restructuring crystallized under the leadership of KGB chairman Alexander Shelepin (1958-60) with official adoption of this long-range policy, a policy which would employ engineered splits between Communist nations, false internal political struggles, exaggerations of military strength, controlled reform programs, and false opposition movements.
		The first known Soviet false opposition movement was one of the early Lenin successes, the Monarchist Association of Central Russia, commonly known as "The Trust." Composed in part by former White Russian and Tsarist military officers, it really was the creation of the KGB's forerunner, the Cheka, and its leader Felix Dzerzhinsky.

		Khrushchev, in his typical manner, once engaged personally in a semi-public feud with Allen Dulles boasting that he read his briefing papers prepared for President Eisenhower and found them "boring." In his opinion the U.S. president, though he accepted responsibility for the intelligence flights of the U-2, merely shielded the real culprit: Allen Dulles.
		So Khrushchev, his considerable venom concentrated on the debonair socialite spy-master, evidently asked Alexander Shelepin, the KGBs chairman, to prepare a plan to discredit the CIA chief.
		Three weeks after Khrushchev's return from Paris, Shelepin's plan was formally approved by the Secretariat of the Central Committee.
