GENERAL GALTIERL. .
AND. COLONEL KHADAFY =<
In 1976 the Soviet intelligence service produced a film,

upout Colonel Muomar. Khadafy, the leader of Libya. Ht
was a 45 minute film which covered all aspects of the dic-'

' tator’s life, including his personal, fiabits. This production .

took more than a year and was carried out not solely for’
the sake of art. The best psychiatrists. psychologists ‘and |
- other experts were invited to be members of a special
group whose task was to work out the psy chological por: |
trait of Muomar Khadaty.
It Was a Lime when relations between the USSR and
_ Libya had suffered a-severe setback [cllowing. some |
slatements by. Khadafy inzwhich he described com-
munism as an atheistic evil and the ‘USSR as an im--
perialislic country.
Experts in the,Kremlin- were not discouraged ‘by this.
' The unpredictable but mediocre nature.of Khadafy gave

every reason tor assuming thal Soviel influence in Libya ,

would increase again. The onl¢ conclusion drawn BY them
‘was Uthat the powei.of Khadaty™ was’ stable. and that
Moscow should take the Colonel ‘Seriously in futiire long

portrait of Kh dafy was ane, part. of such a.serious. aps

The psychological findings - were described by :
Professor Sergei Lunts, the feading Saviet expert known

also for his-elose association with lhe KGB; following.the
conelusign of that work: “The results'ate odd. bul. en-

_ couraging.” According | ‘to thé-secret-document written by
the commission and later ‘smuggled: abroad by Soviel dis-

_ sidents, the Libyan leader is a schizophréni¢ who has-also
cerlain inherited mental disorders combined with an out- ©
standing memory and desire for power and publiciiy.

The statements made by Khadaiy during the Falkland

Islands crisis desérye to be understood-in light of these ”
