The Jonestown Carnage: a CIA Crime is a book published by Progress Publishers, USSR. S.F.Alinin, B.G.Antonov and A.N.Itskov jointly authored the book in Russian. It was later translated into English by Nadeshda Burova and Sergei Chulaki. Published in 1987, the book presents an alternate version of the Jonestown cult deaths, differing from the accounts of reporters at the Port Kaituma airstrip, former People's Temple members in Jonestown during the deaths and reporting by the United States government and in the media.
The book claims that "the official version about 'the suicide of the religious fanatics' in Jonestown, which was skillfully circulated in the mass media, was contrived by the US administration as a cover-up for a monstrous act of predetermined murder of several hundred United States dissidents by the US special services." (Page 5-6).
