Struggle in Soviet Russia

Before being transferred back to Moscow, Ignatiyev was the first secretary of the state party committee of the Bashkir region. He should have been responsible for the construction of the grassroots party organization, but it was like his own. As said, the ethnic situation in Bashkir Region is complicated. Coupled with a series of historical reasons, the organization activities in this place were originally relatively scarce. Now that the grassroots party organization system is suddenly implemented, it will definitely face a variety of things. Complex issues.

Speaking of it, Leningrad Oblast and Moscow Oblast are the most relaxed in this work, especially the former, which is the place behind the Bolshevik Party’s heritage, with the largest number of party members and the deepest promotion of organizational construction. .

I remember that yesterday’s "Izvestia" published the basic-level voting situation in Leningrad Oblast. According to the newspaper report, under the leadership and promotion of Comrade Kuznetsov, the basic-level party organization in Leningrad Oblast has been established. Sound, and...

and many more? !

At this moment, a light flashed across Victor’s sea of ​​consciousness. He suddenly realized that there was a problem with the report in Izvestia yesterday. Of course, if there was no problem with that report, then the problem was Andreje. Comrade husband.

Just a few minutes ago, Andreev just said that because of the heavy snowfall in Leningrad, the grassroots voting activities there had to be suspended-the suspension means that it has not been completed, which is different from the newspapers. The report shows that it does not match.

Raising his hand and scratching his chin, Victor glanced calmly at Comrade Andreyev who was two steps away. This good-tempered Politburo member was listening intently to Comrade Ignatiyev. Speaking, it seemed as if he cared how much he cared about other people's work.

Viktor didn’t know whether Andreyev just mentioned the Leningrad vote casually, or he specifically found this opportunity to tell himself, if he judged it from common sense, he should have mentioned it casually, but... common sense This kind of thing seems to never be applicable in political situations.

Victor admitted that Comrade Andreev was a good man, and that he had some similarities with Comrade Molotov in the desire for power.

Before the outbreak of the war, Molotov was recognized as the second in command of the alliance and the second in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and he himself was obviously very satisfied with the ranking of the “second”. Even in the last two years, after Comrade Zhdanov’s reputation has increased and he is called the successor of Comrade Stalin, Comrade Molotov has also been very peaceful. He seems to be happy to do ten things for Comrade Stalin. After several years of deputy, Comrade Zhdanov will become second in command.

As for Andreyev, his desires are easier to satisfy than Molotov. It seems that he only needs to stay in the Politburo. As for what he does, he doesn't care.

However, even such Andreev, Viktor dare not regard the other party as a completely harmless object. The reality is that if there are no two brushes, no one can stay in the Politburo for more than a dozen. year.

"Since you are transferred back to Moscow, then stop complaining about your past work," said Comrade Molotov, and he criticized Ignatiev unceremoniously. "Don't forget, you are a Bolshevik. A party member is a cadre of the coalition. The ones you complain about are your own jobs and should be done earnestly. Could it be said that because of the weak foundation and the complicated situation, those tasks that should be done can not be done? "

Perhaps it was a little fear of Molotov, or it was realized that in the face of many Politburo members, complaining about the difficulty of work, obviously not a sign of political maturity, so Ignatiye The husband closed his mouth obediently, and the expression on his face looked a bit embarrassing.

Listening to Molotov's reprimand, everyone present couldn't say much. The atmosphere at the scene became a bit embarrassing for a while. Fortunately, Comrade Beria arrived at this time, and everyone greeted him by saying hello. After a while, he passed this embarrassment by mistake.

In an occasion like today, Victor must keep a low profile. He tries not to let others notice him, but hides aside and feels the atmosphere when the big guys get along.

Take Molotov’s rebuke to Ignatiyev as an example. This kind of ruthless rebuke in front of others will certainly make the person being reprimanded feel embarrassed and faceless, but consider it from another angle. , Which also shows Molotov’s closeness and trust in the latter.

This is really not a joke. Based on Victor’s experience, as a subordinate, if your leader smiles in front of you all day long and has an approachable attitude, it means that the leader does not value yourself. On the contrary, it indicates It is that there is a big gap between the leader and himself.

Moreover, since Molotov can reprimand Ignatiyev unscrupulously in front of so many people, it means that everyone present should know his relationship with the latter, and this reprimand It might not be the protection of Ignatiyev.

After Beria arrived, at most ten minutes later, a train with white mist sprayed from the front of the train slowly entered the platform under the gaze of everyone. The entire train had only four carriages, obviously Leningrad. There is a special train for Comrade Zhdanov.

The train stopped at the platform, and everyone who had waited for a long time came forward. Victor took notice. The person walking in the front was Molotov, and behind him was Kagannov, who was walking side by side. Qi and Voroshilov, these two comrades are a little older, especially Voroshilov, he has been very unhappy in the past two years, and all his head hair is white.

Of course, anyone was ridiculed by Comrade Stalin, saying that he could be promoted to marshal even after a lifetime of defeat...I guess no matter how good your mentality is, you have to turn your hair gray. In the case of Voroshilov, it was enough to see if he had a heart attack or a cerebral hemorrhage in the past few years.

Everyone greeted the second carriage. The carriage door just opened. Two young men in military uniforms jumped out of the car first, followed by a colonel.

The colonel was tall and thin, had a standard face with Chinese characters, and had handsome features. He was a handsome guy. His only regret was that there was a very obvious scar on the upper part of the right eyebrow.

The colonel’s name was Dalier Cherishev, and he was the captain of Comrade Zhdanov’s guard. Well, Viktor not only knew what his name was, but he also knew that he graduated from the Nikolaev Cavalry Guard Academy. Guards with excellent riding and driving skills.

Following Cherishev who jumped off the train, there were two people, one man and one woman. The man looked like in his forties and had a burly figure. He was wearing a gray suit with glasses on his face and his left eye looked a little bit The problem makes him look like one eye is big and the other is small. This is Comrade Zhdanov’s accompanying doctor, Vasilenko.

As for the woman who seemed to be in her early twenties, she was a nurse who took care of Zhdanov. Her name was Panina, Alexandra Panina.

That’s right, Victor knows all these people around Zhdanov. His mind contains not only the appearance of these people, but also their personal information. For the more important people, he can even tell the other party’s habits and Hobby.

No way. Since he felt the threat from Leningrad, Victor began to collect information like this. The convenience in this regard.

After all the entourage got off the car, and waited for about two or three minutes, Comrade Zhidanov finally appeared at the door of the carriage.

Today Zhdanov wore a smoky woolen coat and a certain Cossack flat round hat on his head. The whole person was very tightly wrapped-his body was not very good, and he was especially afraid of catching a cold.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion or the light. When Viktor saw Zhdanov for the first time, he felt that his face was a little abnormally pale. It was the color of white with blue. Ugly.

However, this feeling was only a fleeting moment. When he tried to take a closer look, Zhidanov had already stepped off the train with Cherishev’s support. The light in the hall was not very good, Victor. When I went to see it again, that feeling was gone.

After getting off the train, Zhdanov shook hands with the people who came to greet him one by one, but his face was gloomy during the whole process, and it seemed that he was not in a good mood.

Victor lined up behind Sabrov, and was the last one to get up. He watched Zhdanov let go of Sabrov’s hand before he took a step forward with a smile on his face. Li said: "Welcome back, Comrade Andrei Alexandrovich Zhdanov."

He was very enthusiastic, but he didn't want to have a hot face and a cold ass.

The moment he walked up and stretched out his hand, Zhdanov seemed to have thought of something again. He stretched out his hand to hold Victor's hand, turned his face away, and said to Sabrov: " Comrade Maxim Zakharovich, please come to my office tomorrow. I want to have a good talk with you about some remaining issues of the Planning Committee."

When he said so, Victor, who was unprepared, also greeted him. As a result, the scene was embarrassing. Victor held Zhdanov's hand here and greeted him with a smile on his face. , But the other party twisted and talked to others without even looking at him.

The most embarrassing thing is that Zhdanov seemed to be unaware of his impoliteness. After speaking with Sabrov, he pulled his hand back, and at the same time, turned around and looked towards the station. On the other side, Molotov left Victor with a stiff expression behind him.
