A former Soviet spy is claiming Liberation Theology is a movement created by the KGB. The KGB — the chief intelligence agency for the Soviet Union — was responsible for foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, protecting Soviet leadership, as well as combating dissent.

At the time, he was the highest-ranking Soviet Bloc intelligence official to defect.Share
