Struggle in Soviet Russia

The Kremlin, the small white building where the office of Comrade Stalin is located.

The sun in the sky has slanted to the west, and a slight warmth is quickly fading from the entire city. It is estimated that it will be the evening of the day in a few hours.

On the flower garden in front of the small white building, Comrade Stalin, wearing an old military coat with his hands upside down, frowned slightly, and walked slowly along the road towards the Great Kremlin.

Ten minutes ago, Comrade Stalin just woke up. After a simple wash, he suddenly aroused and wanted to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air. In the past, he was good for a walk in winter.

In the last two days, Comrade Stalin’s mood was not very good. His feet hurt so badly. His personal doctor Vinogradov checked him. He heard that it was because his boots were too unfit, so the doctor suggested He changed to a new pair.

I don't know why, Comrade Stalin seems to be very emotional about his pair of leather boots that he has been wearing since the 1930s. Every winter, he will find those boots and wear them for the whole winter. It must be said that those boots are very old and have been repaired many times, but he still wears them and does not intend to change them.

In Victor’s view, Comrade Stalin seemed to be a very contradictory person. In some respects, he was very extravagant, such as drinking, smoking, etc., and sometimes he seemed very frugal, such as these boots, for example. His dress and so on.

Sometimes, this comrade leader seemed very unkind. He was indifferent and cruel, and showed no mercy to anyone, even to his sons and daughters. But sometimes, he seemed very kind and approachable. In some rainy weather, he drove through the streets in his own car and saw passers-by who were caught in the rain. He even asked the driver to stop the car. His car drove passers-by home.

Perhaps the character of a great man is so elusive, right? Victor can only think about that.

When Comrade Stalin was in a bad mood, the air around him seemed to be in a compressed state, which made people feel that it was difficult to breathe. At this time, Victor had such a feeling.

Following Comrade Stalin and keeping a distance of nearly two meters from him, Victor tried his best to keep his feet light, and tried his best not to affect Comrade Stalin's thinking.

And beside Victor, there were two other people. Among them, who was walking on Victor's left and also in the middle position, was a middle-aged man who looked in his fifties and had half-white hair. The man wears glasses with gold rims and a gray beard on his mouth. He looks gentle.

However, compared with his appearance, this gentle-looking middle-aged man is not a good stubble, and he can even say that he has more blood on both hands than Beria's body-Andre Yanuarievich Vyshinsky, the current deputy people’s committee of the People’s Committee for Foreign Affairs, and a few years ago, from 1935 to 1940, to be precise, his position was the General Prosecutor of the Union Long, the sentence he said: "Criminal law is a tool of class struggle, and confession is the king of evidence." It provided the most basic legal basis for the entire cleansing. To a certain extent, the socialist legal system of the Soviet Union, It was also established under his efforts.

On the left side of Vyshinsky, there is also a middle-aged man, but this middle-aged man seems to be more energetic. He is wearing a uniform of the People’s Committee of National Security, with the rank of major general, which is different from ordinary people. Even though he was walking beside Comrade Stalin, the man’s waist belt was also equipped with a gun—not a holster, but a gun.

The person who can be equipped with a gun next to Comrade Stalin is naturally the person that Comrade Stalin trusts most, and this person happens to be one of the people most trusted by Comrade Stalin. His name is Nikolai Sidorovich Vlasik. , Is the commander of Comrade Stalin’s guard. At the same time, he is also the deputy director of the Political Security Bureau of the People’s Committee of National Security and the captain of the Kremlin’s guard.

When Comrade Stalin was walking, he used to be accompanied by someone, even if he didn't talk a word during the walk, he was very happy to find someone to follow him, and it was Victor who was caught walking with him today. As for Vyshinsky, the old guy came here by himself, saying that he needed a job to report to Comrade Stalin, but in Viktor's view, this guy was purely coming to Comrade Stalin to show his face.

Those who can get to Vyshinsky’s stage are undoubtedly old fritters with rich political experience. This guy killed countless people during the Great Purge. He was inextricably linked to him in the three Moscow Trials. After the cleansing was over, people with too much blood on their hands were liquidated, but he left the position of Attorney-General unharmed and went to the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs.

Of course, in addition to the trust of Comrade Stalin, there is another point here. This person has a very close relationship with Molotov. In addition, this person is very good at coming and will come to Comrade Stalin from time to time. Show up and maintain a certain degree of exposure.

Following Comrade Stalin, he circled the white office and went downstairs. When Comrade Stalin returned to the front of the building, his footsteps also stopped.

"Victor," turned around, Comrade Stalin looked at Victor who was following him, and said, "I have considered the idea you put forward before. You suggest that the internal and external intelligence provided by the National Security Committee The idea of ​​organizing the information into a book and sending it at different levels of authorization is very good, but I need more specific details, such as how to determine the level of authorization."

Hearing Comrade Stalin calling his name, Victor hurriedly stepped forward, leaning close to Comrade Stalin, and after a little thought, said: "Comrade Stalin, I just had a rough idea about this question before."

"Then talk about your rough ideas," Comrade Stalin didn't seem to mind at all, or he just thought of this question inadvertently, so he brought it up for discussion.

"I think so," Victor said, standing to the left of Comrade Stalin. "Previously, Major General Badanov of the Special Office of the Committee proposed that the intelligence documents submitted by the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Committee should be Formulate a more stringent management standard to prevent the leakage of relevant information."

"Badanov?" Comrade Stalin was obviously paying attention to the name. He frowned and said, "Is that Dmitry Ivanovich Badanov?"

"Yes," Victor nodded.

"I know this man," Comrade Stalin said with a smile on his face, "I remember he seemed to work in the People's Committee of the Interior in Yaroslavl. When did he go to the People's Committee of the National Security Council?"

"When the National Security People's Committee came out of independence, Comrade Dmitry Ivanovic submitted an application for transfer," Victor explained. "He is very interested in anti-espionage work and is good at doing it. Aspects of work."

Comrade Stalin nodded and said: "He is really good at handling cases. He was one of the main investigators in the murder of Comrade Sergei Milonovic, so I have an impression of him."

The "Sergei Milonovich" mentioned by Comrade Stalin refers to Kirov, and Badanov was indeed one of the main investigators in the murder of Kirov.

The Kirov case had a very large impact at the beginning. Various rumors and troubles were raging. Some even said that Kirov was assassinated by the order of Comrade Stalin. However, in Victor’s view, this was pure nonsense and was a no-brainer for Comrade Stalin. Black brains do not have the slightest credibility at all.

However, in general, this case has been in the past for a long time, and Victor was unwilling to bring it up in front of Comrade Stalin. He pondered for a moment and turned the subject off and said: “Comrade Badanov’s opinion is that with the National Security Committee The intelligence information held by the Ministry's internal and external intelligence bureaus has become increasingly complex and diverse, and intelligence and information exchanges with various departments of the alliance have become more frequent."

After a pause, he went on to say: "As far as the first half of this year is concerned, excluding the Alliance Academy of Sciences, various scientific research institutes, and educational institutions, only the various parts of the Alliance People’s Committee have been reviewed from the Intelligence Information Center. Nearly 40,000 times of data and information. In these retrieval processes, we only conceal the source of the intelligence information, but did not make rigid regulations on the identity of the readers of the intelligence information. Everything is supervised and implemented by the Information Committee. "

Comrade Stalin listened very carefully, and during Victor's presentation, he nodded frequently.

"And this time Comrade Badanov's opinion is to first reorganize the intelligence information provided by the Intelligence Analysis Center, which belongs to the'top secret' intelligence information," Victor said, "all the'top secret' intelligence information is divided into Installed as two pamphlets, the one with the sources of intelligence information and explanatory notes can only be submitted to the Politburo of the Central Committee for review by members of the Politburo. The other volume does not provide sources of intelligence and information. Explanatory notes. At the same time, the revised booklet will only be issued to the Counter-Spyware Bureau, and the Counter-Spyware Bureau will contact the intelligence and information security departments of various departments to coordinate and consult according to the actual situation."

Hearing Victor's words, Comrade Stalin's eyebrows couldn't help but frown. He raised his right hand, stroking his chin, and started again, walking slowly under the steps in front of the building.

Victor stayed where he was. He knew that Comrade Stalin would definitely understand what he meant. The only uncertainty now was what decision Comrade Stalin would make.
