Operation Trust

Operation Trust was a Soviet deception strategy during the Russian Civil War in the early 1920s. The Bolsheviks created a fake anti-Bolshevik organization to mislead their enemies and gain their trust. By promoting this false group, they aimed to confuse and divert opposition forces, encouraging them to act against a non-existent threat. This operation effectively weakened their opponents while consolidating Bolshevik power. It illustrates how misinformation is used in warfare to alter perceptions and manipulate enemy actions. Ultimately, Operation Trust exemplifies the strategic use of deception in achieving political and military objectives.
