Soviet Godfather

Vol 5 Chapter 257: Soviet people's congress

In any case, Sergey Shah never thought that in his lifetime he could enter the Politburo and become the leader of the party. But at this moment, can serving as a member of the Politburo really save the Soviet Union? Take a look at the list of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU. All the top and second leaders of the party committees joining the Republic have entered the Politburo. The total number alone has become the highest in the history of the CPSU. Although such a Politburo has Broad representation, but an increase in the number of people will also cause a decrease in efficiency.

In addition, this time when the 28th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was discussing the issue of the party, the Soviets, and social and political organizations, it has been established that the Supreme Soviet is the highest authority of the Soviet Union. In other words, today’s election only means Everyone’s status in the party and the government’s status will be directly elected by the Soviet People’s Congress in the near future. At that time, the candidates of the CPSU and those without party affiliation will be elected in this party’s election. The failed democratic program faction was competing on the same stage, and before the election results of the Soviet People’s Congress came out, the ruling crisis of the CPSU was not lifted.

Although the value has been greatly diminished, Sergei Sha's rank among the highest leadership of the CPSU at the age of less than 30 years old has already made history. When Sergei left his seat under the stage and walked towards the rostrum with his head high. The applause of the audience made Sergei feel a heavy sense of responsibility, and the huge portrait of Lenin on the background of the rostrum made Sergei emotional.

"Congratulations, Comrade Ulyanov!" When Sergei came to the podium, someone walked up to him and extended a hand to congratulate him. Sergei habitually shook hands with the other party and looked up. Look, it turned out to be Ligachev.

"Thank you, Secretary Ligachev!" Sergey replied quickly.

"I'm no longer the secretary of the Secretariat! By the way, I voted for you just now!" Ligachev said to Sergei with a smile and kindly. In the election just now, Ligachev lost the election, and most of the Marxist programists under his leadership also lost their leadership positions. The faction in the party that was most loyal to Lenin and Stalinism lost its leadership over the party. The winners were the democratic programists represented by Yakovlev and the middle line represented by Selesha. Yeltsin and Sobchak became alternate members of the Politburo, while Leningrad officials such as Nastia, Gorman, and Pugachev all joined the Central Committee. Regardless of whether Sergei Sha was willing or unwilling, the party members and representatives of the CPSU made Leningrad cadres an important faction in the party.

"I didn't vote for you!" Xie Liaosha responded seriously.

"It's okay, please cherish this country!" Ligachev let go after saying this, and then left the rostrum lonely. Sergey looked at Ligachev's back, feeling a lot.

When the 28th National Congress of the CPSU closed, Sergei, Yeltsin and others rushed back to Leningrad overnight to prepare for the upcoming third Soviet People's Congress this year. Why do people's congresses convene three times in a year? This has to start with Lithuania’s declaration of independence. Soon after the Baltic Road event was held, the Soviet Union held its first People’s Congress. Not all representatives attending this meeting were from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but representatives from all walks of life were selected in proportion to have a wide range of representative representatives. The core issue of the First Soviet People's Congress was to decide whether to approve the Soviet Union's continued existence as an independent country. The results of the voting showed that 70% of the delegates believed that the Soviet Union should continue to exist as a completed country. From then on, the Soviet People’s Congress became a channel of negotiation acceptable to all parties and remained.

Just a few months after the end of the first Soviet People’s Congress, the second Soviet People’s Congress was convened in order to explore whether the Soviet Union should continue to retain the one-party system. At this meeting, the CPSU was forced to abandon its leadership position, and it also stipulated that the head of the country, the government, must be elected through the Soviet People’s Congress, which set the stage for the third Soviet People’s Congress. time. This time, the 28th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was essentially convened for the election of the third Soviet People’s Congress. That’s why there were steps to revise the party constitution and re-elect party leaders. Originally, the third Soviet People’s Congress was planned to be held next year, but domestic political activities have continued, and the government’s authority and credibility have been lost. Therefore, under pressure, Gorbachev could only convene the third Soviet people’s congress ahead of schedule. The congress.

Sergei Shah was not so enthusiastic about the Third Soviet People's Congress~www.readwn.com~ He only hoped to keep his position in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and his political influence in the Leningrad region. The original plan was that Yeltsin and Sobchak would run for the mayor of Leningrad and the chairman of the Supreme Soviet. But now the results of the 28th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union have caused Sergei to reassess his own strength. He feels that if he has his own support, why would Yeltsin and Sobchak not be able to show their skills on a larger platform? ? Yeltsin can run for the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Republic, and Sobchak can run for the seat of mayor of Leningrad. As long as these two key positions are won, the entire Russian Republic will be in control.

"Brother Boris, do you think we have a big chance of winning if we go to the election of the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Republic?" Sergey Sha and Yeltsin were in the same car, and Sergey asked suddenly on the way back.

"Why, do you want to leave the system of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation?" Yeltsin felt that Seryosha’s problem was a bit sudden. He had never heard of Seryosha's intention to participate in elections. In fact, Seryosha did not have to participate in elections at all. Because no matter who participates in the election of the Soviet president and wins, Sergei Sha is the best candidate for the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, because the cabinet is directly appointed by the president. Sergei didn't have to choose by himself. The election of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Republic is actually more uncertain.

"I'm talking about you, if you go to the election of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Republic, what is your chance of winning?" Sergei asked seriously.

"Thirty percent, I'm afraid Gorbachev will not nominate me to participate in the election of the Russian Republic. If you want to run, I think the success rate will be almost 60%!" Yeltsin replied equally seriously.

"Brother Boris, just go to the election, I will take care of Gorbachev's question!" Sergey replied. ...
