Zbigniew Brzeziński (March 28, 1928 – May 26, 2017) was a Statesian diplomat from an aristocratic family in Poland. He developed the false concept of totalitarianism in the 1950s to criticize the Soviet Union and equate it with Nazi Germany,[1] although he repeated Nazi propaganda when he claimed that Stalin killed between 20 and 40 million people.[2]
Family
Zbigniew Brzeziński's father, Tadeusz, fought against the Red Army in the 1920 Polish–Soviet War. Tadeusz claimed that the defeat of the Soviets helped save Western civilization. After the Second World War, he moved to Canada and became president of the far-right Canadian Polish Congress.
Zbigniew's son, Mark, is a member of the U.S. National Security Council. He led NATO enlargement in the 1990s and oversaw the color revolution against Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milošević.[1]
Foreign policy
Brzeziński encouraged Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger to use China as a tool against the Soviet Union after the Sino-Soviet split. Advocating for "an arc of Islam" across Western Asia to counter Soviet influence, he supported Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan during the 1970s and 1980s.[1] In 1997, following the balkanization of the Soviet Union, he promoted breaking the Russian Federation into European, Siberian, and Far Eastern countries.[3] He supplied anti-tank weapons to the 2014 fascist coup in Ukraine. Before his death in 2017, he claimed that Vladimir Putin was going to reestablish the Russian Empire.[1]
