Struggle in Soviet Russia

When I came out of Comrade Stalin's office again, it was already late at night, and the snow in the night was even greater.

In front of the small white building, Victor stood on the stairs in front of the building and shook hands with Shadenko and Serbakov to bid farewell to each other. They seemed very enthusiastic in their attitudes.

According to the results negotiated at the meeting tonight, the National Security People’s Committee will form an army security bureau. Considering the current shortage of personnel in the committee, the establishment of such a large department is incapable. Therefore, the manpower of the army security bureau is, It will be transferred from the General Political Department and the Editor-in-Chief Training Department.

After the establishment of the Army Security Bureau, it will take the lead in working in the existing troops of the Chief Editor-in-Chief Training Department. Its responsibility is to supervise the formation of the grassroots party committee while investigating political problems in the army.

The relevant working procedures and working principles of the Security Bureau will be promulgated later. The specific implementation rules need to be negotiated by Victor, Shadenko and Serbakov, and the training of relevant personnel will be handled by the General Political Department.

According to Comrade Stalin’s idea, when the basic-level party committee system in the army is rolled out, the Army Security Bureau will withdraw from the corresponding party affairs and be solely responsible for the anti-espionage, anti-sabotage, and ideological defense work in the army. The operation of the grassroots party committee will be solely responsible for the General Political Department.

It is reasonable for the General Political Department to be responsible for the political work of the military. No one would question this. In the past, with the abolition of the political commissar system, the General Political Department’s voice in the military was actually weak, at least It is far from the General Staff.

For Serbakov, who is in charge of the work of the General Political Department, it is obvious that he is happy to see a system that can improve the voice of the General Political Department.

Of course, Comrade Stalin has not yet expressed the idea of ​​implementing the "dual-chief system". He is only asking for the establishment of a basic-level party committee system in the army. This is a reform aimed at strengthening the Bolshevik party's control over the army, regardless of whether it is taken. Whether to discuss it in the People's Committee of National Defense or to discuss it in a meeting of the Central Committee, it is impossible to be resisted.

After all, the coalition is the Soviet Union of Nations led by the Bolshevik Party. After fighting against many factions, including the Mensheviks, it finally mastered the state power. Therefore, the party's absolute leadership over the country is beyond doubt. Can anyone say that the army? Can they be special and not accept the leadership of the party?

What is certain is that the implementation of the party committee system in the army will inevitably affect the interests of some people, but the promotion of this system is a general trend. Anyone who jumps out to express opposition is likely to be detained as a small group. The consequences of this hat are hard to imagine.

When Viktor made suggestions to Comrade Stalin, he only drew on some experience in his previous life. To be precise, he only knew the necessity of the theory of "party leadership guns," but did not thoroughly study this theory.

In fact, this is not only a theory, but also a big banner. Under this big banner, a principle must be established: the army does not belong to someone, let alone a tool that someone can use to seek personal gain. It belongs to The whole Bolshevik party. The supreme leadership and command of the army belong to the Bolshevik Party Central Committee. The Bolshevik Party Central Committee delegates specific leadership and command to the party committees of the armed forces at all levels, rather than to a specific person. Under the principle of collective leadership, the party committees of the armed forces at all levels then delegate the leadership and command of the armed forces to a specific chief under the principle of the division of labor and responsibility.

Therefore, when Comrade Stalin promoted the party committee system in the army, it was tantamount to promoting the system in the name of the entire Bolshevik party, whether you were the general staff or the academic, whether you were the old cavalry or the young and strong. Those who jump out and stand in the way are opposing the entire Bolshevik Party, that is, standing on the opposite side of the Party.

If it is not a time of war, Comrade Stalin does not even need to have any scruples. He can take this measure directly and put it in the Central Plenary for discussion. What is certain is that he can definitely get the support of the overwhelming majority of people.

Neither Serbakov nor Xiadenko is a junior in politics. They naturally understand what such a system means. Therefore, let alone that the implementation of this system is beneficial to them, even if it is not good, they are not. Dare to stand up against it.

After breaking up with Serbakov in front of the building, Victor got in his car and left the Kremlin.

He did not return to the residence directly, but asked Varenka to send him to the villa of Comrade Malinkov in the Frunze district. He had previously arranged an appointment with Comrade Malinkov to meet there.

When the car arrived at the villa in Frunze District, from a distance, through the headlights of the car, Victor saw Comrade Beria’s car parked outside the courtyard of the villa. Obviously, Comrade Beria was also here. Obviously, he Comrades Marinkov were very interested in every decision made by Comrade Stalin.

Under the guidance of the service staff, Victor walked into the villa. In the living room on the first floor of the villa, he saw Malinkov and Beria sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.

Seeing Victor coming in from the outside, the two smiled and stood up. Comrade Malinkov waved and said: "From nine o'clock to now, five hours, it seems that this meeting is very important."

Victor took off the snow cap, and walked over while slapped with his hands. He sat down in front of the sofa opposite Malinkov and said, "Yeah, this time I'm going back. It's probably only the content of the meeting, Schell. Both comrades Bakov and Xia Denko need to digest them for two days."

"What's the content?" Comrade Beria pushed a cup of coffee in front of Victor and said straightforwardly.

Victor did not reply directly to him. Instead, he took his briefcase, took out a document from it, and handed it to him, saying: "Comrade Stalin wants to implement a grassroots party committee system in the army, um, to be precise. It is to implement a basic-level party committee system within the entire alliance."

"Party committee system?" Comrade Malinkov frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What I said, I won't be clear for a while," Victor smiled and said, "Everything is in this document. You can understand by looking at it."

The document that Victor took out was the complete report he submitted to Comrade Stalin after sorting it out. It not only involved the establishment of a grassroots party committee, but also involved the revision of the party constitution and the implementation of the "dual chiefs system" of the military.

The document is divided into pages and can be divided into pages. Comrade Beria reads a page and hands it to Comrade Malinkov. The two looked seriously and devoted, and the living room fell silent for a while.

Victor leaned back on the sofa, waiting for the two to finish reading the documents. At first, he nodded, but he felt a little bored, but he didn't know what, and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long he slept. Victor was awakened by the voice. He opened his eyes, and the dazzling light in front of him made him uncomfortable. There was some doubt in his mind, and he couldn't figure out where he was in the first time.

It wasn't until he saw Comrade Malinkov sitting opposite and Comrade Beria sitting on the side that he suddenly became sober.

"Wake up?" Comrade Malinkov said with a smile when he saw him wake up, "I really want you to have a good rest, but I'm sorry..."

He picked up the document in his hand, shook it, and then said: "This thing is too important. We must figure out what Comrade Stalin really thinks."

Victor smiled apologetically, then reached out and wiped his face, got up and said, "I'll wash my face first, so I'm sober."

"Go," Comrade Beria smiled, "I'll have another cup of coffee for you."

Following the service staff, Victor went to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he came back, there was already a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table in front of him.

He took a cigarette out honestly and lighted it on himself. Then he said: "Comrade Stalin had this idea while attending a meeting in Tehran. Later, during and after the meeting, he returned to Moscow. On the way, he was thinking about this issue."

"You mean, this is Comrade Stalin's own consideration?" Comrade Beria interposed.

"It should be regarded as it," Victor said after considering it, "Of course, I also gave some opinions, such as the question of how the grassroots party committee should be structured."

Malinkov and Beria glanced at each other. The latter pursed his lips and said: “For the revision of the party constitution, it is clearly stipulated that a party group or a temporary party committee must be formed in a grassroots organization with three party members. This is yours. opinion?"

"Yes," Victor nodded and said.

For Victor, he wouldn't carry the whole thing on his back anyway, and that was not a good thing for him.

In fact, what is reflected in this report is not a simple issue of the construction of the party committee system, but a set of theories, a set of governing theories aimed at strengthening the leadership of the Bolshevik party. To a certain extent, it can even be It is regarded as a perfection and supplement to the theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

This thing is a bit dazzling. Comrade Stalin will bring it up. There will be no problem, but if it is brought up by a spy chief like Victor, and he is still a spy chief in his late thirties, it would be a bit sensational.

It is precisely because of this that when Victor said in front of Malinkov and Beria that these things were brought up by Comrade Stalin, the two people had no doubts, because in their opinion, this should be a fact.
