 Lev Navrozov emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1972 He settled in New York City where he quickly learned that there was no market for his eloquent and powerful English language attacks on the Soviet Union. To this day, he writes without fear or favor or the conventions of polite society. He chaired the "Alternative to the New York Times Committee" in 1980, challenged the editors of the New York Times to a debate (which they declined) and became a columnist for the New York City Tribune. His columns are today read in both English and Russian.

On 4/26/05 I received an e-mail from Ben Yap, evidently a Chinese who lives in England, but knows English still poorly. Thus, in his e-mail he says that my thoughts about China are not “empatized with by others.” The word “empatized” has never existed in English and perhaps never will, unless the English-speaking countries become the Chinese dictators' colonies, with Yap as their governor, making them speak HIS English.
Just as many Germans residing in the United States in the 1930s were anti-Nazi, while others were pro-Nazi, so, similarly, many Chinese residing in the West today are dissidents, some of whom spent years or decades in the Chinese dictators' camps and prisons, while others are voluntary spiritual slaves, lickspittles, bigots, worshiping the dictators of China and their quest for world domination.
Yap begins his e-mail as follows: “Everytime [that is, “whenever”] I read your article on China [and not on any other subject!] I can't help being amused at your stupidity.”
My articles on other subjects do not provoke in Yap such a reaction. But “everytime” I write a column on China I am comically stupid, according to Yap. Why?
Ironically, while the word “dictator” did become derogatory in the 1920s and the 1930s, the phrase “supreme leader” is the official translation into English of the Chinese dictators' propaganda name. If the phrase “supreme leaders” indicates that those who use it are “anti-China bigots,” then “the supreme leaders” of China themselves are “anti-China bigots.” How does Yap want the “supreme leader” to call himself and be called in order not to be “an anti-China bigot”? Our beloved father, teacher, and friend? Or: the greatest genius in the history of mankind?
At the same time, my columns on China merely provoke laughter, according to Yap. First of all, Yap himself “can't help being amused” at my “stupidity.” Every column of mine on China is, according to Yap, “just for a laugh” — is “shouted out” by me “to a world that is simply not taking” my gibberish “seriously.”
So those Chinese dissidents translating my columns about China into Chinese (see Yahoo! and Google) translate, distribute, and read gibberish, instead of reading, learning, and repeating reverently the Chinese dictators' propaganda as some Russians, Italians, or Germans once read, learned, and repeated reverently the Soviet, Fascist, or Nazi propaganda, respectively, and some of them believed that they thus partook of the greatest wisdom, while everything contradicting it was bigotry, stupidity, or laughable gibberish.
Those Chinese dissenters who dissent publicly from the Chinese dictators' propaganda in China are persecuted as the worst criminals. In Tiananmen Square in 1989 they were killed on the spot. The question Yap may raise is whether it is not high time to begin to vilify and kill in the West (so far in proper secrecy!) whoever dissents publicly from the Chinese dictators' propaganda. That will serve those “anti-China bigots” right!
As for Yap's laughter, the laughter at the corpses is heartier than at live dissenters. Indeed, on corpses an admirer of dictatorship in China can even dance in anticipation of the West becoming the Chinese dictators' colony with their slavish followers receiving posts and salaries in the colonial administration (unless the population of the West is annihilated by the Chinese dictators' post-nuclear superweapons).
However, even all Yaps in the West and their bosses in China will not make me fall silent out of fear.
When I was 18, over 99 percent of the Soviet voters voted (many of them out of fear) for Stalin and his dictatorship. I voted against — yet survived. This is Barry Farber's favorite story, which I told several times to his listeners. I emigrated, at the first chance of emigration, when I was 42, and in those 24 years, between age 18 and 42, I involved myself in other such “heinous crimes.”
As I came with my family to New York in 1972, I began to write, lecture, and speak on radio and television on the aggressive nature of the Soviet dictatorship, which had which had launched the development of post-nuclear superweapons, as Yeltsin revealed it twenty years later, in 1992.
The development of post-nuclear superweapons was the Soviet secret of secrets, and I had a good reason to suspect that I would be assassinated by the KGB. But I persisted, and my primary goal was to prove that the CIA and Western intelligence/espionage in general did not virtually exist, and this is why the West did not know about the Soviet development of post-nuclear superweapons. And here came a new (this time imaginary?) danger to my safety or security.
My article of 1978 about the virtual nonexistence of the CIA (and Western intelligence/espionage in general) was a tremendous success (over 500 periodicals all over the West reprinted or outlined it). I continued to expose the CIA in my column in “The New York City Tribune,” and the CIA would call me on Mondays, when I was at the newspaper, and tell me to stop my criticism of the CIA.
The CIA lad been conducting counter-guerrilla war against guerrillas, and I was told by some sympathizers of mine that the CIA could readily mistake me for a guerrilla. I found myself between the Devil of the KGB and the deep blue sea of the CIA.
In 1986 the Chinese dictators founded Project 863 to develop post-nuclear superweapons in seven fields, that is, to continue what the Soviet dictators had been doing. So I began to speak on the “China threat” in addition to the “Soviet threat.” However, since the Cold War had been spearheaded against Soviet Russia, there was a residue of anti-Sovietism. Hence I lectured on “the Soviet danger” all over the West, and met Ronald Reagan, who announced after our meeting that the “evil empire” was developing post-nuclear superweapons. Hence publicity protected me to some extent against the KGB assassination. It was different with “the China threat.” Imagine the U.S. president meeting with me and announcing that the “evil empire” (meaning China!) had been developing post-nuclear superweapons since 1986. Actually, even today, 19 years later, few Americans have heard of Project 863, though its founding and research have been featured in the “open Chinese media,” including the Internet. I wonder whether the CIA has paid attention to Project 863 on the Internet once in 19 years. We have heard from the CIA and the British Secret Intelligence Service their horror fantasies about “weapons of mass destruction” in Hussein's Iraq, but not a word about the development in China of superweapons of post-nuclear destruction.
Yes, thousands of my NewsMax.com and WorldTribune.com readers e-mail to me their appreciation of my column — on China. But members of the Western political establishment have not been among them. If I am assassinated by Chinese pro-dictatorship bigots, who, except my Internet readers, will notice my disappearance?
On the other hand, I have never preached overzealously that the Soviet or Chinese dictatorships may collapse. That would have given many Westerners another pretext for being blind to the Soviet and later China threat. But actually, a powerful dictatorship may readily conquer the world — and collapse no less readily, as did the Soviet dictatorship in 1991. If the Chinese dictatorship collapses as a result of another Tiananmen movement, there will be a time to celebrate. Meanwhile, the truth is ugly, and we must face it with courage and prayer.
Open one of the German diaries published after 1945. When Hitler's world domination seemed likely (between June and October 1941), he was worshiped even by a family where the wife and mother was Jewish. When Hitler had lost, no German wanted to give shelter not only to the homeless fugitive Alfred Rosenberg, but even to his wife and daughter. If the Chinese dictatorship collapses, today's worshipers of it will pretend that they have always been against it. No one in post-1991 Russia wanted to hobnob with Gorbachev, let alone vote for him, and Gorbachev has been since 1992 an involuntary immigrant, though in 1990 he could well be expected to become the dictator of the world.

If you are a real anti-China and anti-Chinese bigot [that is, the dictatorship of China means China, and whoever is against the dictatorship of China is an anti-China and anti-Chinese bigot], you should at least hide [as something disgraceful!] your rabid animosity by the way you describe the “supreme” leaders or the “dictators” of China.
