The phrase, or in modern terms - "meme" - "fighter of the invisible front", was born in the period preceding the Second World War. Tentatively - during the Spanish war with the Nazis. It was then that dozens, if not hundreds of European and Soviet military men, journalists and simple guys who hated Franco united with Mussolini and Hitler, became soldiers of the unrecognized war in their countries - soldiers of the invisible front.
In a gray-gray coat, in a black-black hat, in black-black gloves, in black-black glasses, a man was sitting on a park bench. Next to him was the obligatory Ogonyok magazine, which was obligatory in his hard work, but he was holding the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda in his hands. The man read the article on the "Elusive Joe Indian." This was the most-famous Soviet fighter of the invisible front, who was waiting for a connected Joe. And it’s not that no one saw the fighter, it was just that nobody needed him, however, like his American brother, the elusive Indian Joe. Actually, this "invisibility" and "elusiveness" distinguishes the soldiers of the invisible front from the soldiers of the visible front - with tanks and machine guns. The main thing is that they are all fighting with something and someone. If on our side they are scouts and fighters, if on the enemy side there are spies and aggressors.
Soviet-Russian reality
Under Soviet rule, "fighters of the invisible front" were consistently called scouts, combatants, and anonymous. Such is the degradation of this "meme."
Among the fighters of the invisible front were truly outstanding personalities. The life of each of them is written and unwritten novels. But even about those about whom the books were really written, and to this day much cannot be said. In their biographies so far, much remains "especially secret."
In the special archives of the GRU of the Russian Federation, centuries-old personal files of legendary scouts are kept, thanks to which the victory over fascism happened no later than the spring of 1945: Richard Sorge, Kim Philby, Rudolf Abel (Fisher), Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Evgeny Bereznyak, Vladimir Barkovsky, George Blake, Gevork Vartanyan, Konon Molodoy.
But the war is over and peaceable citizens should not be aware of new intelligence agents, otherwise it’s not intelligence agents, but an unprofessional unreasonable misunderstanding, such as those who were discovered in the USA in recent years: Vladimir and Lidia Guryeva (Richard and Cynthia Murphy), Mikhail Kutsik and Natalia Pereverzeva (“Michael Zottoli and Patricia Mills”), Andrey Bezrukov and Elena Vavilova (“Donald Heathfield and Tracy Foley”), Mikhail Vasenkov (“Juan Lazaro”) and Mikhail Semenko, and, the most famous of all the losers, - the apotheotic "sexual bait" Anna Chapman and journalist and Peru, worked in the United States to Russia, Vicky Pelaez.
Most likely, their “disclosure” also happened because, unlike their predecessors, who were “fighters for the idea, ” modern “fighters” from the GRU of the Russian Federation are “fighters for the cache.”
This was the evolution, or rather, the degradation of the concept of “fighter of the invisible front”: through internationalist warriors and scouts to “art historians in civilian clothes” - fighters with dissent in the KGB; then to the vigilantes - the "assistants" of the police, and most often simply self-affirming, seized upon a little power Komsomol boors; to anonymous writers - people who write in the newspaper denunciations and libel on objectionable neighbors and colleagues; and, in the final, to the "fighters for the cache."
Modern fighters
The era of the Internet has given rise to a new kind of “fighters of the invisible front”: every day, modestly, but persistently, and sometimes with all possible passion for the chosen “business”, they are struggling with the surrounding reality and enemies.
The first on this list are sysadmins: system computer administrators. It is they who, as a rule, are completely with stone faces and indifferent to what is happening, find the secret materials, buttons, buttons, folders and passwords missing due to strange manipulations of the hands of computer "dummies".
The second can be called computer trolls - provocative strange personalities who most often for very little money, but sometimes at the call of their hearts, strive to bring to frenzy, to white-hot burning the participants in any online discussions. In some ways, they are akin to retired combatants: they also like to assert themselves at the expense of others and have some symbolic money for it.
But the third in the list of modern "fighters of the invisible front" can rightfully be home-grown conspiracy theorists: advanced housewives, popular bloggers, science fiction writers and historical "reenactors" - that is, all lovers of world conspiracies who take to the open water those whom no one has ever seen, but who necessarily exist, simply cannot but exist, otherwise life is lived in vain.
Conspiracy therapists, as a rule, fight globally on the Internet - on a geopolitical scale. Their struggle is aimed at identifying and exposing members of the secret world government and its conspiracy. It is still sometimes connected with the world Jewish conspiracy. The truth remains unclear why, if this conspiracy exists, the Jews who invented in the twentieth century almost all military and technical means of mass destruction will not kill all their enemies at once and will not heal peacefully and blissfully. But conspiracy theorists have their own "irrefutable" arguments for this.
So, among the main enemies of modern "fighters of the invisible front": a world conspiracy of business elites, a world government, Masons, Jewish "secrets of the Zion wise men", and along with the non-systemic Russian opposition and NGOs, paid by all of the above and even fed by the State Department cookies.
