The United States was aggressively challenging the Soviet Union in the 1980s under President Reagan, but Ted Kennedy wasn’t enthusiastic. Kennedy, desperate to advance his presidential ambitions, passed a letter meant for Soviet Premier Yuri Andropov through the Soviet consulate in Washington. The corrupt Senator tried to craft a media strategy with the evil empire to undermine President Reagan. A Russian agent wrote of the plot: “Kennedy believes that in order to influence Americans it would be important to organize in August-September of this year, televised interviews with Y.V. Andropov in the USA. A direct appeal by the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to the American people will, without a doubt, attract a great deal of attention and interest in the country.”
