It used to get agents of influence (people secretly working for it not as spies but to influence media and politicians) to plant a story in a newspaper abroad, such as in India. Then Soviet papers would “pick up the story,” attributing it to the foriegn paper, so the story was now distanced from its Soviet origin and thus made more plausible. Then it would be picked up by Western media and spread all over. By this means the USSR spread its propaganda lies, just as the Palis are doing now.
