New I stole the line.
I'd have attributed it if I knew the original source. My father told me many Russians he'd spoken with in the mid-1990's were fond of saying that. I believe the "70 years" refers to how long the USSR existed (it didn't quite see its 70th birthday, but close enough for jazz, as they say). That the CIA's intention was always to destroy it, I think, cannot be disputed.

We read one day, We hold these truths to be self evident. That all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But if a man doesn't have a job or an income, he has neither life, nor liberty, nor the pursuit of happiness. He merely exists.
