Hilariously, they believed CIA disinformation that the USSR owned a terror network.
Well ... that one was actually true. Cadres were trained at Patrice Lumumba University, funds were provided for leftist groups like Baader-Meinhof, the Red Brigades, ETA, the Tupemaros, etc; funding for 'military' operations to PFLP-GC, Abu Nidal and others. Also, technical advisors arranged by KGB to set up drug trade to maintain 'sustainable' funding.
There have been a lot of academic books about this that have floated out since Gorbachev opened the archives.
