"Operation Trust" was a Bolshevik counterintelligence operation run from 1921 to 1926 aimed at neutralizing opposition by creating the false impression that a powerful group of military leaders had organized to stop the communists' takeover.
Here's an except on the "Trust" operation from pages 13-14 of Soviet defector Anatoliy Golitsyn's book, "New Lies for Old":
The similarities with the Q-Anon "Trust The Plan™" psy-op are remarkable.
From Wikipedia's article on Operation Trust:
Operation Trust was a counterintelligence operation of the State Political Directorate (GPU) of the Soviet Union. The operation, which was set up by GPU's predecessor Cheka, ran from 1921 to 1926, set up a fake anti-Bolshevik resistance organization, "Monarchist Union of Central Russia", MUCR, in order to help the OGPU identify real monarchists and anti-Bolsheviks. The created front company was called the Moscow Municipal Credit Association.That sounds like the Confucius-style nonsense put out by Q-Anon.
[...] The one Western historian who had limited access to the Trust files, John Costello, reported that they comprised thirty-seven volumes and were such a bewildering welter of double-agents, changed code names, and interlocking deception operations with "the complexity of a symphonic score", that Russian historians from the Intelligence Service had difficulty separating fact from fantasy.
Is General Flynn our General Brusliv?
This Q-Anon operation has had some blowback -- Q-believing Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt was horrifically executed in cold blood by a Capitol police officer and turned into a martyr -- but the movement has gotten tons of Trump supporters thrown in prison and labeled domestic terrorists.
Their neo-Bolshevik revolution is almost complete...

Q isn't an organization, it's a guy who posts on a 8chan board and makes predictions. Sometimes the predictions turn out correct, sometimes not. One thing it did was give Trump supporters hope when it looked like the critical period when Democrats would force Trump to leave based on the Obamagate hoax - something which Q accurately predicted would emerge from victorious. If your paranoid take on Q = Soviet disinformation campaign were even slightly accurate, then it would require for Trump people to communuicate directly with Q in order to "blow" their identity. I've followed Q for a while and as far as I remember the communication only went one way. Something which your Soviet organization had to make personal contact in order to expose the anti-communists. The final evidence is that Q has been banned by big tech and no longer posts. Sorry, but on the whole, Q has been more helpful to Trump than not.
