Struggle in Soviet Russia

Hearing what Victor said, Comrade Stalin stopped and turned his side on the spot, focusing his gaze on Victor's face.

"For now, I think the mountaintopism and gang formation in the army are becoming more and more intense," Victor said without hesitation, "Our..."

"Mountainism?" Comrade Stalin frowned slightly and interrupted Victor. Obviously, he didn't understand the meaning of this new word.

Of course, in the political history of the Soviet Union, the term hilltopism has never appeared, so it is normal for Comrade Stalin to be puzzled.

"Ah, Shantouism is actually a manifestation of liberalism." Victor realized that he had used an inappropriate term. He hurriedly explained, "Its outstanding feature is the ignorance of party discipline. , Sect, or organization as the foundation, forming cliques, forming small groups, small groups, called newspaper groups to keep warm, it is actually an act of splitting the party and splitting the organization."

Comrade Stalin nodded, obviously understanding what Victor meant, and at the same time, his gaze towards Victor was much more complicated.

"I think this kind of thinking is a threat to the growth of our Bolshevik Party, and it is also a threat to the core leadership mechanism of the Central Committee." Victor couldn't understand Comrade Stalin's thoughts at this time, but this topic has already been brought up. , Then there is no room for retreat. Therefore, he continued, “Once this phenomenon takes root in our party, then it will spread rapidly and grow on its own. Where these small groups and small groups exist, the existing If the cadres choose to join them, they will be squeezed out and suppressed. Those who have no position and lack party principles will be promoted and promoted, while those who insist on principles and do not want to join in will be It is regarded as an outlier and has no place to stand."

"If things go on like this, our party and organization will become disorganized and lack discipline," he coughed and cleared his throat. Victor continued, "When the superior's order touches the interests of these small groups and small groups, the relevant Orders will be resisted by them and will be difficult to implement, resulting in a situation where orders cannot be carried out, and there are endless prohibitions, which will fundamentally shake the foundation of our party's leadership of state power."

It must be admitted that what Victor said are all facts. As the supreme leader of the alliance, Comrade Stalin certainly knows what the reality is like.

Does Shantouism exist in the Soviet Union today? Of course there are, and there are many. Vested interest groups have even formed, such as the Leningrad faction and the Ukrainian gang. In the military system, there are veteran cavalry factions, academic factions, and so on.

As Victor said, in these factional divisions, only those who choose to join these small groups can get more opportunities and resources, while those who are willing to adhere to principles and don’t want to form cliques are not promoted at all. Opportunity for reuse.

In other words, under the influence of this phenomenon, the standard of meritocracy has been destroyed, and the promotion standard of officials has been transformed into a look at the background and standpoint.

Does the existence of these problems affect the interests of Comrade Stalin? Of course there is, and to some extent, the impact on him is still very large.

It can be said that since becoming the leader of the alliance in the 1920s, Comrade Stalin has been fighting against all kinds of small groups and small groups. In this process, he certainly overturned and overthrown a series of small groups. More small groups have sprung up, so the final result is nothing more than a new group that defeats the old group. Substantial problems have not been fundamentally solved.

When Victor’s statement came to an end, Comrade Stalin did not directly express his position. He turned back and continued walking along the edge of the pond. During the whole process, he remained silent and there was no expression on his face. People can't see his mind.

Victor still followed after half a step, and didn't speak any more. To be honest, he was a little worried at this time, but he was not very worried.

Victor was very sure at this time. He specifically pointed out this question and it was enough to prove his loyalty to Comrade Stalin, because if the words just now were published in the newspaper, it is estimated that he would become an "enemy of ten thousand people." , This 10,000-person enemy does not mean that he can beat more than 10,000 people, but that everyone will treat him as an enemy.

Among the senior leaders of the entire alliance, who is not engaging in "mountainism"? The answer is that everyone is doing it, including Voroshilov, who has been marginalized, and Kalinin, whose loess is buried in his neck. No one is exception.

After a dozen steps forward, when he was about to walk to the other end of the pond, Comrade Stalin stopped. The old Tarashev is a kind person, but his character is a bit weak. Even if it is the right thing, as long as there is a conflict with others, or even if it is possible to cause unpleasantness, he will humblely choose to give in."

Victor was a little dazed. He didn't know why the leader comrade in front of him mentioned his cheap old man who had long become a dead ghost. Moreover, he said that the dead ghost Lao Tzu is very kind, but he said that he has a completely different personality from him. Does that mean that he is not kind enough?

"As for you," Comrade Stalin turned to his side, looked at Victor, and smiled, "You are too upright, principled, and you think it is the right thing. You would rather be an enemy of everyone and have to bring it forward."

Victor blushed a little, he heard it, which should be considered a compliment.

"Say things like the one just now, don't say it anymore," Comrade Stalin said after he indulged for a moment.

Victor was taken aback for a moment, and he wondered to himself, is it true that what he said to show his loyalty is not to Comrade Stalin's appetite?

"It is very good that you can recognize these problems," Comrade Stalin continued, "but it is far from enough to recognize the problems. Questions, when and when should they be raised."

He said so, and raised his hand to touch his pocket.

Seeing this action, Victor knew he was looking for a cigarette, and when he came out to spread it, Comrade Stalin's pipe was obviously not with him.

He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket first, took one and gave it to the other party, and lit the cigarette for him. Victor said: "The timing issue, I haven't considered it yet. Actually, I'm just in front of you. To talk about this issue freely."

Comrade Stalin dangling a cigarette, nodded, and encouraged him to continue speaking with his eyes.

"As for the solution to this problem, I thought about it a bit, but it's still not comprehensive," Victor said, lighting himself a cigarette.

"Oh, really, tell me," Comrade Stalin said with interest.

"I think it is possible to implement the grassroots party committee system in our party." Victor also did not hold back, and methodically expounded the things he had imagined. Of course, the most important of these is the implementation in the military system." The contents of the “double head system”.

Victor said in great detail. At the beginning, Comrade Stalin still kept a faint smile on his face. It seemed that he didn't pay much attention to his thoughts. However, as Victor's explanation became deeper and deeper, the expression on Comrade Stalin's face, Also becoming more and more serious.

The implementation of the “dual-chief system” in the army is actually to consolidate the party’s absolute leadership over the army. Under the control of the dual-chief system, the commanders in the army need to rely on military merits to get promotion, while the political commissars are relatively It is a retreat. Their promotion mainly depends on the development of party activities and party organizations.

Because of the different work content, there are also certain entanglements between the commander and the political commissar. At least for the political commissar, he will be more proactive in his own troops to promote the development of the party committee and do more ideological and political work. Work. The more comprehensive the development of the party committee and the better the promotion of ideological and political work, the greater the restrictions on the power of commanders.

In addition, the party committee system is not only necessary to advance in the military, but also in grassroots organizations. To a certain extent, the promotion of this system will effectively enhance the party’s control over the entire country. Effectively enhance the further depth of the centralized power system.

Imagine, in accordance with the principle that a party group and a temporary party committee must be formed if there are three party members, to what extent will the party's influence be deep within the scope of the entire alliance? There is no doubt that, let alone villages and towns, even a factory, a logging team, a miner group, and even the most basic party organization will exist. At that time, if the entire coalition is regarded as a body, then the party organization structure is equivalent to a neural network densely distributed throughout the body. If any part of the alliance has a problem or disease, as the center of the central nervous system, it can respond quickly.

Why did Comrade Stalin hear the more serious the expression on his face? This is because he saw the feasibility of this system. If he followed Victor’s suggestion, then the Bolsheviks might become the most efficient, most rigorous, most organized and human society in history. An existence of self-organization ability.

At that time, supplemented by efficient supervision and supervision agencies within the party, the party leader, or the Politburo as the core, will become the actual coalition leader whose status is difficult for anyone to challenge. .
