The editor of the book The Great Plan – The Soros Empire in Central and Eastern Europe is Márton Békés, the XXI. Director of the Century Institute. He told Origo about the volume.

Below are some details of the article.

In 1983-84, the idea matured in Soros, or it was planted in him, to start his activities in Central and Eastern Europe. In 1984, after his personal meeting with György Aczél, the MSZMP established his foundation in Hungary with the permission of the PB, which was initially associated with the MTA, but was soon able to become independent from it.(...)

György Soros is said to have been convinced by his former schoolmates in Budapest that he should come home. They were all SZDSZ founders: István Eörsi, György Litván, Márton Tardos. It is even more interesting that Soros visited the Hungarian embassy in Washington in 1983, saying that he wanted to establish a foundation in Hungary, is it possible? He received an affirmative answer. , the ambassador who announced this, Vencel Házi , was a covert military intelligence officer of the Hungarian embassy in London during the Rákosi era, and at the beginning of the Kádár system, during the II. He served the dictatorship as the head of the "Katpolos" sub-department of the group leadership. Miklós Vásárhelyi, the former domestic politics columnist of Szabad Nép, became the operative head of the Soros Foundation in Hungary, without whom Soros, as he said, "wouldn't have taken a single step in Hungary", which was obviously true the other way around as well.(... )

Ten years after its foundation in 1984, the Soros empire was ready: its foundations, 23 in number, operated from Prague to Minsk and from Tallinn to Tirana, the operational center of which was Budapest. The oldest Soros foundation and Open Society, which now coordinates the regional activities of the Soros network, operated here . Institute as well, CEU is based here, and even a friendly government was formed in 1994 .(...)

What has remained constant, however, is the abolition of the sovereign nation-state framework. There are countries where Soros openly supports "color revolutions", and there are countries where he funds "civilian" organizations and NGOs that exert their influence covertly.

In some countries, it pushes national minorities as a living shield in front of it (Macedonia), in other countries, on the contrary, it encourages the chauvinist government (Ukraine), and while in Kosovo it lobbied for the expropriation of Serbian property, in post-regime change Poland and Russia, privatization and neoliberal shock therapy were encouraged by the government consultants paid by him.
