The interesting link is to Michael Cohen, if that's truly him. The relevant Michael Cohen is one of Trumpy's personal attorneys.

Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov (Russian: Юрий Александрович Безменов, also known as Tomas David Schuman; 1939 – 1993[1]) was a journalist for RIA Novosti and a former PGU KGB informant from the Soviet Union who defected to Canada.

After being assigned to a station in India, Bezmenov eventually grew to love the people and the culture of India, but at the same time, he began to resent the KGB-sanctioned oppression of intellectuals who dissented from Moscow's policies. He decided to defect to the West. Bezmenov is best remembered for his anticommunist lectures and books from the 1980s.

But they sure do tweet, don't they?

Somebody posing as a long-dead KGBer may or may not have sent this tweet. I'd need better provenance before passing this along.
