TRUTH !!

Copies of "Animal Farm" were dropped from ten-foot balloons and the air forces of Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia were ordered to shoot the balloons down. Operation "Aedinosaur" was one of many CIA-sponsored covert publishing programs that flourished during the cold war: the agency had a Russian-language edition of Boris Pasternak's "Doctor Zhivago" secretly printed in Holland and distributed inside the USSR.
