Struggle in Soviet Russia

"I saw it." Facing Victor's question, Varenka seemed to have thought of something. He raised his hand and patted his forehead, said casually, turned around and ran towards the door, where he left. In an instant, he explained, "Comrade Grushakov gave me a document, and I forgot to get in the car..."

Seeing this guy go out in a panic, Victor shook his head helplessly and was a driver. This guy Varenka is qualified, but if he wants to be a secretary, he really isn’t that clumsy. Mainly It's this guy who is always careless, careless and attentive.

In Victor's concept, Varenka could not stay by his side as a driver forever, sooner or later, the young man always wanted to get rid of him and do his own business. In addition, Varenka is now a captain. In the last two years, he will continue to improve his rank. By then, he will become a school-level officer. Can he continue to stay by his side and give himself Be a simple driver?

Victor had talked with Varenka more than once in the past. He hoped that this young man who had been with him since the beginning of his rebirth could find a place he wanted to go, and that Victoren could seek personal gain once. You have to find a way to get things done. But unfortunately, this guy is always so heartless. Every time he mentions this question, he says that he is very satisfied with his current life and his current job...

Well, today Varenka is still too young. Maybe in two years, when he matures a little bit, he will have different thoughts and opinions.

When he went out in a rush, Varenka quickly ran back. When he entered the shed again, he had a black leather briefcase in his hand. This kind of briefcase is standard and national security. It is exclusively used by the People’s Committee, with a red shield and dagger logo on the briefcase.

"Comrade Grushakov is very cautious," returned to the tin bucket, Varenka took out a document bag from his briefcase and handed it to Victor, "The place where he invited me to meet is Il According to him, he currently has no right to speak in Leningrad’s committee department at the ruins of a farm on the shore of Menhu Lake. Moreover, Asseni Vashenko not only distrusted him, he has been marginalizing him. "

Asseni Vashenko, whose full name should be Asseni Arseyevich Vashenko, was born in Ordzhonikidze in 1903. He once held a position in the NKVD at the beginning of the war. The 13th Infantry Division of Neiwei served as the deputy commander. It was this infantry division subordinate to the NKVD that blocked the armored group commanded by Guderian for three days in the town of Romney on the south bank of the Sura River. It won vitality for a large number of troops of the Southwest Front Army.

That is, in that battle, Vashenko was injured in his right leg and calf, and eventually had to undergo amputation, and as a result he withdrew from the frontline combat troops. Later, he was transferred to Leningrad and became the second-in-command of the Leningrad Bureau of the NKVD. When he was in the home of the NKVD and the NKVD, he was transferred to the NKVD and became The head of Leningrad of the People’s Committee of National Security.

In the presidium of the People's Committee of National Security, Vashenko was the vice chairman recommended by Zhdanov. Of course, this is also the practice.

To be honest, Victor has a certain favor with Vashenko. He has met and dealt with Vashenko. In his opinion, this guy who has been disabled for life due to the war is a character. A very outgoing and optimistic person, he is humorous and kind, but he is very serious in his work. It can be said that this person is a standard and authentic Bolshevik party member.

But helplessly, it is useless for Victor himself to have a good impression of Vashenko. The political positions of the two are completely different, which means that they are not the same.

Taking the document bag from Varenka, Victor spread it on his lap, unfastening the rope buckle on the document bag, and said to Varenka: "Add two more sticks of firewood to make the fire a little bit more. Also, plug that gap in the door."

Varenka glanced back in the direction of the door, then got up and got busy.

Victor took out the stack of documents from the document bag and looked at it from the first page.

Even though Grushakov is only the second in command of the Leningrad National Security People’s Committee, he stayed in Leningrad for a longer period of time than Vashenko. He was more specific. He started in 1932. He has been working in the People’s Committee of the Interior of Leningrad since 1999.

Victor checked Grushakov's personal files, and therefore knew that this person had participated in the investigation of the Kirov case, and that his first political capital was obtained while handling this case.

It is precisely because of this that Victor's perception of Grushakov is not very good, but it is undeniable that this person still has a good job at work.

Judging from the document in hand, it is apparent that Grushakov compiled and summarized it himself. The information recorded in the document began in November 1941 and ended in January 1943. The entire document is sorted by time, and the persons involved in each record, the summary of the event, and the evidence, exhibits, etc., are added at the end of the document in the form of an attachment.

Victor likes people who work carefully and methodically. If Grushakov is under his hand, even if the other party's character is not good, he will give it to him.

Victor looked at this document so carefully that when Varenka blocked the gap in the door and returned to the tin barrel, he didn't notice it.

The first record in the file was on November 27, 1941, and the content of the record involved the Leningrad Housing and Public Service Committee.

Just looking at the time of the record, Victor can think that the time this record was created happened to be the period when Leningrad was under siege. As far as Victor knew, on November 20 of that year, the supply of bread for the residents of Leningrad reached At the lowest level, ordinary employees, women, and children have only 125 grams of bread per day.

Document records show that on this day, the NKVD arrested 14 staff members of the Housing and Public Service Committee of the Vasiliya Island District, including Chairman Igor Korzakov, because of these people. Use power to facilitate participation in speculation.

During the siege, Leningrad implemented a rationing system in kind, and the housing and public service committee was responsible for the distribution of basic food every day. People like Korzakov use this power to deduct a certain share from the bread that should have been distributed to residents in the district.

Initially, they did this only to meet the needs of themselves and their families, but as the supplies became more and more tight, the shortage of food became higher and higher, and those residents with good family conditions began to spend money and money to fill their stomachs. All valuable things such as jewelry are exchanged for bread.

People like Korzakov found "business opportunities" in it. They couldn't restrain their greed and began to exchange stolen bread for those valuable things.

The result is self-evident, their behavior was noticed by the NKVD, and they were quickly wiped out.

It must be admitted that during the siege of Leningrad, the main atmosphere of the entire city was still positive, and there were countless evocative incidents, but behind these lights, there were always some evils, and Grushakov submitted In this document, these dark side things are recorded.

The fate of Korzakov and other 14 people was destined. They were arrested on November 27 that year, and four days later they were taken to the small Neva River and shot. Not only that, their family members were also cancelled. All food supplies.

The second case recorded in the document occurred on December 13, 1941. The department involved was the Leningrad Popkov City Industry Department, and the director of the department Mikhail Igo. Nashevich worked with 23 employees of the department to forge various documents, including food supply cards, shopping coupons, military IDs, etc., to help some officials’ relatives and children escape military service and labor, and to defraud and exchange various scarce materials. .

The frauds of these people began in June and lasted until December. In just six months, they obtained as much as 17 tons of illegal materials in this way. When Ikonashevich was at home, there was still a room full of food in his basement. Among them, chocolate alone weighed nearly forty Russian pounds, almost 20 kilograms.

After reading the record of the second case, Victor's brows clenched tightly. He closed the papers on his knees, stretched his hands to the edge of the tin bucket, and burned on the fire while thinking about Grushakov’s offer. He sent this trouble.

Indeed, this document is indeed a hassle.

Not to mention the first case in the record, just the second case.

This case is definitely a big one, and according to the final results of the records, the Leningrad People’s Committee of the Interior at the time only arrested 24 people including Igonasevic, but the follow-up investigation did not have any. record.

For cases like this, will the investigation be over to such a degree? Undoubtedly, if Comrade Stalin saw this record, he would probably be mad. If nothing else, whoever used fake documents to escape military service and labor for relatives and children, the NKVD shouldn’t Check it out?

But if this case is held on, how many people will eventually be involved, I am afraid no one can judge. If nothing happens, it will even cause a major earthquake in the officialdom of Leningrad.
