There are former KGB agents who have said that their government supported dissidents rights-based groups in other countries (who would of course have been crushed in the USSR) in order to destabilize rival polities. The communist regimes at that time made a lot of third-worldist anti-imperialist appeals, and acceptance of civil rights on the part of U.S policymakers can be seen in part as trying to take away an issue from their opponents. The U.S of course uses the same approach in other countries, such as the "color" revolutions in numerous ex-communist countries.
