The following section was taken from "KGB : The Inside Story" [1] page 450 :
" Service A (Active Measures) attached extreme importance to
countering Carter's human rights campaign by attacking the United
States' own record. In 1977, it composed a number of letters to the
President's wife, Rosalynn Carter, protesting against 'the
infringement of human rights' in the Unites States. While
Gordievsky was stationed in Copenhagen, the residency succeeded in
persuading a well-known liberal politician to send one of these
letters to Mrs Carter. The residency was so excited that it
immediatly sent a PR line officer to her home town to obtain a copy
of the letter and satisfy himself that it corresponded to the KGB
draft. The two texts matched exactly, and a triumphant report was
sent to the Centre. {16}
The trials of Soviet human rights activists in 1978 brought
further official American condemnations. The KGB hit back with a
crude attempt to link the Jewish dissident, Anatoli Shcharansky,
with the CIA; he was sentenced to ten years in jail on a trumped-up
charge by the KGB of passing secret information to an American
journalist. {17} Though well aware that it had fabricated this
particular plot, the KGB convinced itself that there was
nonetheless a real conspiracy by the CIA and the White House to
manipulate the human rights campaign in the Soviet Union. Gromyko
continued to insist, even in the era of the glasnost, that the
campaign was part and parcel of American 'ideological subversion
against the USSR ... Carter took a personal hand in the campaign of
provocation'. {18}
