It’s also instructive to look at the leading opposition figures who seem to have stepped forward in
Russia in recent days. The current opposition “poster boy” favorite of Russian youth and especially
western media is Russian blogger Alexei Navalny whose blog is titled LiveJournal. Navalny has
featured prominently as a quasi-martyr of the protest movement after spending 15 days in Putin’s
jail for partaking in a banned protest. At a large protest rally on Christmas Day December 25 in
Moscow, Navalny, perhaps intoxicated by seeing too many romantic Sergei Eisenstein films of the
1917 Russian Revolution, told the crowd, “I see enough people here to take the Kremlin and the
White House (Russia’s Presidential home-w.e.) right now…”13
Western establishment media is infatuated with Navalny. England’s BBC described Navalny as
"arguably the only major opposition figure to emerge in Russia in the past five years," and US Time
magazine called him "Russia's Erin Brockovich," a curious reference to the Hollywood film starring
Julie Roberts as a trade union organizer. However, more relevant is the fact that Navalny went to
the elite American East Coast Yale University, also home to the Bush family, where he was a “Yale
World Fellow.” 14
The charismatic Navalny however is also or has been on the payroll of Washington’s regime-
destabilizing National Endowment for Democracy (NED). According to a posting on Navalny’s own
blog, LiveJournal, he was financed in 2007-2008 by the NED. His Washington NED contact person
was Frank Conatser.15 A facsimile of an email exchange between Navalny and Conatser fronm
November 17, 2007 is partially reproduced here.

Ето и какво е NED:
The shady history of NED
Helping youth engage in political activism is precisely what the same NED did in Egypt over the
past several years in the lead up to the toppling of Mubarak. The same NED was instrumental by
informed accounts in the US-backed “Color Revolutions” in 2003-2004 in Ukraine and Georgia that
brought US-backed pro-NATO surrogates to power. The same NED has been active in promoting
“human rights” in Myanmar, in Tibet, and China’s oil-rich Xinjiang province. 9
As careful analysts of the 2004 Ukraine “Orange revolution” and the numerous other US-financed
color revolutions discovered, control of polling and ability to dominate international media
perceptions, especially major TV such as CNN or BBC is an essential component of the Washington
destabilization agenda. The Levada Center would likely be in a crucial position in this regard to
issue polls showing discontent with the regime.
By their description, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a “private, nonprofit
foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions around the world.
Each year, with funding from the US Congress, NED supports more than 1,000 projects of non-
governmental groups abroad who are working for democratic goals in more than 90 countries.”10
It couldn’t sound more noble or high-minded. However, they prefer to leave out their own true
history. In the early 1980’s CIA director Bill Casey convinced President Ronald Reagan to create a
plausibly private NGO, the NED, to advance Washington’s global agenda via other means than
direct CIA action. It was a part of the process of “privatizing” US intelligence to make their work
more “effective.” Allen Weinstein, who helped draft the legislation establishing NED, said in a
Washington Post interview in 1991, “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by
the CIA.”11 Interesting. The majority of funds for NED come from US taxpayers through Congress.
It is in every way, shape and form a US Government intelligence community asset.
The NED was created during the Reagan Administration to function as a de facto CIA, privatized so
as to allow it more freedom of action. NED board members are typically drawn from the Pentagon
and US intelligence community. It has included retired NATO General Wesley Clark, the man who
led the US bombing of Serbia in 1999. Key figures linked to clandestine CIA actions who served on
NED’s board have included Otto Reich, John Negroponte, Henry Cisneros and Elliot Abrams. The
Chairman of the NED Board of Directors in 2008 was Vin Weber, founder of the ultraconservative
organization, Empower America, and campaign fundraiser for George W. Bush. Current NED
chairman is John Bohn, former CEO of the controversial Moody’s rating agency which played a
nefarious role in the still-unraveling US mortgage securities collapse. As well today’s NED board
includes neo-conservative Bush-era ambassador to Iraq and to Afghanistan, Afghan-American
Zalmay Khalilzad.12
