Editor's Note:
„Edwardas Lucasas – įžymus britų žurnalistas, ilgametis The Economist bendradarbis. Autorius žinomas kaip Lietuvos draugas, Baltijos šalių nepriklausomybės kovos rėmėjas. Apgaulė. Šnipai, melas ir kaip Rusija mausto Vakarus – antroji jo knyga apie šiuolaikinės Rusijos politiką (pirmoji lietuviškai buvo išleista 2008 m. pavadinimu Naujas Šaltasis karas: Kremliaus keliama grėsmė Rusijai ir Vakarams, „Baltos lankos“).Naujoji tyrinėtojo knyga – tai intriguojantis pasakojimas apie tai, kaip siekdamas įtvirtinti valdžią Rusijoje ir už jos ribų Vladimiras Putinas ir jo aplinka be skrupulų naudoja dar Šaltojo karo metais išplėtotą saugumo institucijų ir šnipų tinklą. Lucasas teigia: „Šnipai domino mane studentą, aktyvistą ir žurnalistą, iš pradžių Londone, o vėliau už geležinės uždangos“, todėl knygoje pateikiama daug įdomių ir naujų faktų apie šiuolaikinės Rusijos saugumo institucijų bei jų bendradarbių veiklos metodus. Dalis knygos skirta Rusijos šnipų veiklai mūsų regione – tai turėtų itin dominti Lietuvos skaitytoją." Dr. Nerijus Maliukevičius Nuo 1925 m. bolševikų nužudyto Didžiosios Britanijos „šnipų tūzo“ Sidney Reilly iki 2010 m. areštuotos ir iš JAV deportuotos naujosios šnipų kartos atstovės Annos Chapman – tai bemaž visą amžių besitęsianti Kremliaus ir Vakarų šnipinėjimo kova.„Šioje knygoje aprašoma, kaip senieji KGB apgavysčių ir ardomosios veiklos metodai šiais laikais yra pasitelkiami naujus tikslus turinčios tarnybos. Mūšio lauko ribos per Šaltąjį karą, kai grėsė komunistų pergalė, buvo nubrėžtos aiškiau. Šiuo metu Rusiją valdanti korumpuota autokratija žaidžia pagal kapitalistines taisykles, todėl ir grėsmė gerokai didesnė. Vis dėlto kai kurie bruožai išliko tie patys. Naujieji Rusijos šnipai, kaip ir sovietiniai jų pirmtakai, užsiima ardomąja veikla, manipuliavimu ir įsiskverbimu į Vakarų struktūras.“Edward Lucas, Apgaulė„Edwardas Lucasas skatina permąstyti įvykių grandinę, kuri Vakarų pasaulio visuomenei, įpratusiai prie pagarbos pilietinėms teisėms ir laisvėms, nėra itin maloni. Laisvė yra labai svarbi ir vertinama, tačiau jai nuolat kyla grėsmė. Štai todėl svarbu priimti autoriaus perspėjimus rimtai.“ Václav Havel Edwardas Lucasas (gim. 1962) – puikiausiai Rytų Europą pažįstantis čia gyvenęs Vakarų žurnalistas, rašantis apie ją daugiau nei 20 metų. Didžiojoje Britanijoje jis laikomas geriausiu šio regiono ekonomikos bei politikos ekspertu, dirba The Economist, bendradarbiauja su The Independent, BBC ir kitomis žiniasklaidos priemonėmis.Išaugęs Rytų Europai prijaučiančių britų intelektualų šeimoje, Lucasas visą savo gyvenimą žurnalisto plunksna kovojo su komunistiniu režimu. 1990–1994 m., aižėjant komunistiniam blokui, Lucasas gyveno Baltijos valstybėse, 1990-aisiais atvykęs į Vilnių jis gavo pirmąją mūsų atkurtos respublikos vizą Nr. 0001, įrašytą Vilniaus oro uoste paties užsienio reikalų ministro Algirdo Saudargo ranka. Lucasas moka čekų, lenkų, lietuvių, rusų, vokiečių kalbas, tai leidžia jam sekti vietines šalių naujienas, kalbėtis su šių valstybių gyventojais.
