This thesis analyzes the role deception serves in the armed
forces of the Soviet Union. The analysis focuses on the
Soviets' mindset, historical application, military doctrine,
organization, and current application of military deception.
Before addressing the Soviet use of deception, an introduction
is provided which includes some definitions and related
terms, a historical look at deception, and some basic deception
principles. The thesis closes with a summary of the
main points concerning Soviet military deception and briefly
compares it to past and current application of deception in
the U. S. military.
