Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 336: Zhdanov (4)

Nearly three years of war has made a large number of people in the military system who were unknown in the past have become heroes familiar to everyone in the entire alliance. If these heroes are just like Batman or Lei Feng, then everything does not matter. But the key point is that these heroes are generals of the military.

People like Zhukov and Vasilievsky are all commanders of the army. Once the commanders of the army gain political prestige, they often become a very special existence. It is a great threat to any political figure.

If Comrade Stalin did not feel the threat from the military clique, Victor would never believe it. Similarly, if Comrade Stalin did not think about how to eliminate this threat, Victor would not believe it either.

It is estimated that Comrade Zhdanov’s contribution to the Battle of Leningrad was also one of the small methods that Comrade Stalin came up with.

After nearly twenty minutes, the black Volga car drove into the Komsomolskaya Square in front of Leningrad Railway Station, and finally stopped by the sidewalk opposite the customs building. At this time, in front of Victor’s car, it happened to be Comrade Malinkov. That "luxury car".

Without waiting for Varenka to open the door for himself, when the car stopped, Victor pushed the door and got out of the car, walking forward while wearing a military cap.

In order to welcome Comrade Zhdanov's triumphant victory, the entire Komsomolskaya Square was sealed off. In the huge square, except for the police and the internal guard with live ammunition, no pedestrians could be seen, and it appeared empty.

The architectural style of Leningrad Railway Station is quite special. It is different from Belarusian Railway Station and Kursk Railway Station. The railway tracks in the station pass through the station building. In other words, the platform of the station is in the station building. Inside, so there is no way to get the car in. It is precisely because of this that Victor and the others will get off the train at the customs building, because it is the closest to the exit.

When he walked to Malinkov's car, Victor looked inside the car, but there was no one in the car. It seemed that Comrade Malinkov had arrived early, and he had already entered the station.

Correcting the military cap on his head, Victor was about to walk towards the exit of the station when he heard a car coming from behind.

He turned his head and glanced subconsciously, and sure enough, a gray Muscovite was driving from behind.

Stopping, Victor looked sideways and watched the car approaching, and finally stopped slowly in front of him, leaning against the side of the road.

Seeing the person sitting in the car, a smile appeared on Victor’s face. He took off the black leather glove on his right hand so that he could shake hands with the person in the car later-Andre Andrejevi Comrade Qi Andreev, Moscow’s current core circle of power has the most ambiguous position and the least personal position. At the same time, he is also the best-tempered member of the Politburo.

Let’s take a closer look at Comrade Andreev’s past resume. When he was a member of the Leningrad Committee, he worked with Molotov, and the two had been roommates for more than half a year; served as secretary of the North Caucasus region. At the time, I worked with Comrade Stalin and spent four months with Voroshilov; when he was an editor of the "Ural" daily, he had a working intersection with Zhdanov; when he was in charge of metallurgical work in Ukraine , And cooperated with Kaganovic for a while.

It can be said that almost all the comrades of the Politburo have worked with Andreyev. No matter who they are, they have a good impression of him and have a good relationship with him. What does this mean? There is no doubt that this shows... Comrade Andreyev is a person who can't threaten anyone, so no one is going to target him.

To be honest, Viktor also wants to be a person like Comrade Andreyev. He even hopes to be able to guard his one-acre one-third of the land and eat and wait to die, but it turns out that he is not Andreyev. , Can not become Andreyev.

Andreev wore a black woolen trench coat, his hair was always combed meticulously, and the beard under his nose was also very finely cut. It gave people the feeling that just by looking at him, they knew it was a delicate, A person of temperament.

"Hey, Viktor Viktorovich," Andreev got out of the car, with a smile on his face, and reached out to Victor first. He smiled and said, "Good morning."

"Good morning," Victor took his hand and hugged him again, then said with a smile, "Comrade Andrei Andreevich."

"Have you just arrived?" Released Victor's hand and put his other hand on his shoulder, Andreyev craned his neck, looked in the direction of the exit, and said, "Everyone else has gone in?"

"It should be," said Victor. "At least, Comrade Malinkov should have gone in."

"Then let's go in, too," Andreyev smiled. "Don't be late. Comrade Andrei Alexandrovich is a serious man, and the most annoying others are late."

With that said, he has already stepped forward.

Victor smiled, didn't talk too much, just followed behind him and walked in the direction of the exit.

Andreev’s remarks were an understatement, but a hint of dissatisfaction could be faintly heard. The people he said were naturally Zhdanov, and today they came to meet Zhdanov. They belonged to What does a courtesy human relationship have to do with being late? Therefore, Andreev's joking remarks actually hinted that Zhidanov was domineering.

Is that understandable? Of course you can understand it this way. Otherwise, I would like to ask Andreyev if he dare to come to Zhdanov and say it.

Following Andreyev, Victor walked into the exit of the train station, then walked through the exit passage, and walked sideways into the hall of the building where the platform was.

During the Battle of Moscow, the Leningrad railway station was bombed, and the roof of the building was destroyed. It took more than a year to repair it. Now, although the internal repairs have been completed, it can be warmed up. It hasn't been resolved yet, and the whole platform hall is very cold, even colder than outside.

Looking far from the entrance of the exit channel, you can see a group of people on the west side of the platform. Apart from these people, the rest are soldiers waiting side by side on both sides of platform 1.

"Oh, it's really cold today," Andreev, who was walking in front, rubbed his hands and muttered, "I heard that it snowed again in Leningrad yesterday. The grassroots voting has to be suspended..."

With that said, he sighed into his hands again and said with a sigh: "Hey, it's already March, and I don't know when the weather will get warmer."

"It will take another half a month at most, and the weather should be completely warm," Victor said with a smile, not pretending to be dumb. "This winter is a bit long, no, it should be said that the winter of the past two years seems to be a bit long. "

"Yes, yes," Andreev nodded.

"That's right," he walked a few more steps, he seemed to think of something, and once again slowed down and said, "I heard that Comrade Mikhail Ivanovich has been in a physical condition recently, what do you have? News?"

"I haven't heard," Victor said in surprise, and then asked back, "Is the situation serious?"

"You, the chairman of the National Security People's Committee, don't understand the situation. How do I know if the situation is serious?" Andreev glanced back at him and smiled.

At this moment, the two were already on the platform, not far from the people waiting there. Andreyev stopped saying much, he quickened his pace and walked towards Molotov, who was wrapped in a gray coat. .

It wasn't until after meeting everyone that Victor discovered that all the people notified except Beria had arrived. In other words, he and Andreyev had arrived relatively late.

At this time, there were more than ten minutes before the scheduled arrival time of the train, and everyone gathered together to talk in a low voice. As the chairman of the People’s Committee of National Security, Victor turned around on the platform and talked with the major in charge of security work. ——Today’s security work is in charge of the Political Security Bureau, and as the leader of this department, Victor, although not directly in charge, has to ask a few questions.

After he confirmed that there was no problem with security, when he returned to the crowd, he heard Ignatiyev saying: "...It is still a bit hasty. The situation in Bashkir is more complicated, and the people of all ethnic groups live together. There are many phenomena. The number of Bolshevik party members in the overall population is not very high. It is not easy to establish a sound grassroots party committee. The formation of grassroots party committees has not been implemented, how can the votes be promoted?"

Upon hearing these words, Victor understood what they were talking about. Since entering February, under the promotion of Comrade Stalin, the grassroots party committee system has been actively promoted within the administrative scope of the entire alliance.

As a system, in the process of its implementation, some people will support it, some will certainly not support it, or even some will oppose it. This is certain. The same is true for this basic-level party committee system, because once this system is officially implemented, it will inevitably affect the interests of many people.

For example, in remote villages and towns that lack Bolshevik party members, before the implementation of the basic-level party committee system, the leading cadres in these places do not need to be Bolshevik party members in terms of identity, and once the basic-level party committee system is implemented, people who are not Bolshevik party members will Can't go on.

In addition, the implementation of this system itself is very troublesome and will involve many problems. It will have a great impact on the party member management system. Therefore, it will naturally attract a lot of people's dissatisfaction.
