Soviet Defector Yuri Bezmenov’s 1984 Warning: ‘You Are In A State Of War’ (Video)
Decades ago, Yuri Bezmenov defected from the Soviet Union to the united States. During the course of his time here, he was interviewed by G Edward Griffin, as well as others. However, the Griffin interviews are among the most popular among those who know him. He clearly laid out how the Communists sought to destroy the US from within, and we are seeing the fruit of the seeds they planted many years ago during the Lincoln administration going forward.

Investigative journalist Alex Newman recently teased a new film, Comrade Yuri that is set to debut.
“You are not living at a time of peace. You are in a state of war, and you have precious little time to save yourself,” declares the chilling voice of Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov in the opening sequence of a newly released trailer for the groundbreaking film Comrade Yuri.
The film, built around long-buried warnings and forgotten interviews that have gone viral in recent years, seeks to expose decades of manipulation, propaganda, and hidden power structures. Centered on the now-famous Bezmenov interview, the trailer sets the tone early with stark warnings about cultural decay, youth disillusionment, and the dangers of mass indoctrination.
Alex Newman, who worked on the film with producer and director Justin Malone, explains, “The Bezmenov interview was actually made before I was even born… People who were born in my generation. We grew up in this incredibly interesting time in history.” Despite America’s dominance and prosperity, he reflects, “We all had some sense that something wasn’t quite right. Something had been lost that was valuable.”
From media control to an information flood, the trailer traces a generational shift from carefully curated narratives to the explosion of online truth-seeking.
“Our parents’ generation grew up in a world where you had a tiny handful of institutions with complete control of the narrative,” Newman recalls. But with the advent of the Internet, “this flood of information that had been bottled up, suppressed, and almost completely unknown to our parents’ generation suddenly became available.”
“The Yuri interview is so obviously true… it really does have this spell-breaking power,” Newman argued.
In the trailer’s closing warning, the voice that began the film, Yuri himself, returns: “Most of the American politicians, media, and educational system train another generation of people who think they are living in peacetime. False. The United States is in a state of war, an undeclared total war against the basic principles and the foundations of this system.”
Presented as more than just a documentary, the forthcoming film Comrade Yuri positions itself as both exposé and alarm bell—a call to see beyond propaganda before, as the opening warns, “it will go just overnight.”
