The article examines the plans of American intelligence services for the use of Russian emigration in Europe and the United States during the initial period of the Cold War. The deterioration of bilateral relations makes the issues connected with the semicentenial military and political confrontation of the superpowers relevant again. The study of historical experience is essential today to identify the forms and methods of using the national diaspora in the interests of foreign states, which is critical for understanding a possible development of events and for designing an actual and variable policy towards compatriots abroad. The insights of the American intelligence services into the social composition, political structure and centres of political influences are reconstructed on the basis of declassified documents of the US State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, materials of meetings of interdepartmental groups and committees, some of which are introduced into science for the first time. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, American intelligence officers created American and Russian public associations in America and Europe which acted as cover-up organizations for operations of information-psychological warfare. The process of creating those associations is studied using the example of the American Committee for the Liberation of Peoples of Russia and the Council for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia. The author reveals the reasons why the creation of a single emigrant anti-communist organization as an instrument of a political war was found to be unpromising back in the early 1950s, formulates the general conceptual approaches of American intelligence services to the use of Russian emigration on the Cold War fronts, including those that still remain relevant today.
