USSR 1991

It was sunny outside, with clear skies.

Originally, Moscow University wanted to make a grand reception for Yanayev's visit, but it was rejected by the other party.The person in charge of the Ninth Bureau of the KGB told the headmaster to keep everything simple, because the general secretary firmly opposes the cult of personality and specialization, and everything can go on as usual.

Those officials who are trying to make a fuss do not know which coal mines to mine coal. Yanayev treats officials extremely harshly in some respects.As far as he is concerned, officials can always make up for it. If this batch fails, he will be pulled out as an example to others, until the next batch remembers his position.

The auditorium is already full, and they rarely see national leaders visiting their universities.In my impression, the head of state should be a high-ranking person who hides in the presidential palace and has no time to step out of the attic in the air.It seems that only Western countries can show people-friendly visits everywhere.

Yanayev's figure appeared on the podium, and commotion had already begun below.Medium build, with eyes, gray hair and disheveled, doesn't seem to have been well-groomed.No one can connect the ordinary middle-aged and elderly people in front of them with the top political elites in the world.

She stood on the podium, looking at the students in the audience, silent.

30 seconds, 1 minute, a minute and a half... At first, the students were quietly waiting for his talk, but when it came to No. 90 seconds, most of them felt strange and impatient.At the same time, there was a question mark in my heart.

What happened to Comrade General Secretary?

At No.90 seconds, he finally spoke.The voice is not as impassioned as imagined, majestic and majestic, even with a hint of lazy emphasis.Some of the students who were expecting to see great lectures were disappointed.

Is this the deified general secretary?It would be too out of class.

Yanayev didn't know what they were thinking, and said calmly, "It's a pleasure to meet you here. In fact, I hope that you are drawn by the school lottery, not based on the level of your grades. You must know that I am here. Universities hate mathematics the most, if I were in the audience, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even have the chance to step into this auditorium.”

Many people laughed, the stiff atmosphere was broken, and everyone lowered their guard.

"In everyone's impression, everyone thinks that college students are the most educated, and also the best small group of elites. But unfortunately, in my eyes, they are just a group of low-energy people."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience booed, Yanayev didn't care what they said, and continued to say to himself, "Yes, a group of people who think they have everything in their hands, but they can't think independently... fool."

Chapter 9 Eleven Many People Are Dying

"You think you have all the truth, and you are dismissive of all things. But it is a pity that you have never really mastered the way of independent thinking. I have always opposed bringing politics into academics, except for literature. Intellectuals. In 1991, they ridiculously believed that as long as we gave up socialism, Western countries would bring us a bright future. But look at Europe now, and it is still struggling. They used to The verbal critics want to nail me to the shame of the tyrant, and now people all over the country are praising us for bringing hope and future to this country. Those people have never been the conscience of the motherland, but the dirty sewers of the Soviet Union. Decorate that vile heart with scholarship."

The audience became extremely quiet, and the former college students put away their mocking mouths, and turned to listen seriously to Yanayev's speech.

"This is what I want to talk about, thinking. Since the Enlightenment, independent thinking, rational judgment, and avoiding blind obedience have become the mainstream. Over time, independent thinking has changed. Intellectuals think that everything the government does is independent. Come to think of it, they're actually worse than the cattle in the hayloft."

"I have never seen any intellectuals who are really for the country and will aim to destroy the motherland."

"I have never seen any intellectuals who think independently choose to bury the future of the Russian nation."

"I have never seen any intellectuals for the people who will send the future of the people to the guillotine!"

Yanayev's voice began to increase. He not only taught the people present to learn to think, but also taught them to tear away the ugly lies and absurd faces.A bunch of ugly traitors to the state.

"If you are a traitor determined to bring down Russia, I have nothing to say, but no one here wants to see this country fall into the abyss. Even if the motherland collapses like Romania, intellectuals can choose to die as an apology. In short, but what about this country and the suffering people? They are cowardly and incompetent cowards who will only ruin great things, and any ordinary person who is willing to stand up and prevent the tragedy from happening is greater than the intellectuals."

"Back to the original topic, this is the reason to educate you to think independently and rationally judge. Remember, never become a sinner of this country and nation. This is my only hope for you and everyone."

As soon as the voice fell, there was thunderous applause. Yanayev's speech was affirmed by all the students. Except for a few professors who left the meeting with angry faces, everything was proceeding according to plan.They have never seen such a wonderful speech. Compared with the drowsy reading of the university professor, Yanayev's casual play incited the frenzy of all the students present.

In their eyes, Yanayev is not like a rigid politician or an insidious politician in the city government, but more like a deviant patriot.The thinking brought to them by the speech is also deafening enough.Although he still looks unremarkable, he already has the attitude of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi in his gestures. This is the real charisma of a leader.

After the key speech was finished, according to the procedure, the next step was to visit Moscow University. After Yanayev gave a brief report, he affirmed their work report and then got up and returned to the Kremlin.The speech on rational thinking is the most important thing. He wants to say that the seeds of "thinking" are rooted in the future of the motherland.

In the future, it will take root and sprout and become a real towering giant tree.

On his way back to the Kremlin, Yanayev kept thinking about his next move.Starting tomorrow, the Moscow Police Department will be subjected to an airborne investigation by the Disciplinary Committee, starting with those two unlucky policemen and going up to picket until finally the entire upper floor is turned over.

Suddenly the phone rang, interrupting Yanayev's train of thought. The assistant to the president handed the phone to Yanayev and said in a low voice, "It's Comrade Vladimir. He said that he has something very important to report to you."

Yanayev answered the phone and asked in a low voice.

"How is things going? Any particular progress?"

The tone on the other end of the phone was full of confidence, "The KGB has identified the small group of extortionists and the criminal group behind them. There is sufficient evidence to show that these people used to extort and extort traders to make a living. , In the past, we thought they were just small-time gangsters who were not well-known. Now it seems that the foundation of this gang group in Moscow is more complicated than we imagined, and even involved a series of relationships with official personnel. Hmm... …Smuggling, collecting protection fees, selling drugs, kidnapping for extortion, in my opinion, even if these criminals die a thousand times, it is not a pity. And the Moscow Police Department was already preparing for the final arrest.”

Dealing with this group of people is simply what the people want. How could he let go of those who came to gain popularity.

The thankless work was left to Pugo, and the work of bringing people together was given to Comrade Vladimir.Out of training for successors, Yanayev chose to favor the other party.So even if he has achieved the position of chairman of the Council of Ministers, he is still fully responsible for these insignificant "little things".From the birth of the KGB, through the transfer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to the position of Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Vladimir's ability has been fully affirmed.

"Vladimir informs you that there is one thing you must know. The Soviet government is also preparing to launch a series of cleansing activities. You cooperate with the other party's actions to carry out a plowing cleansing in Moscow. Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has granted You can take action immediately, and if the evidence is solid, you can shoot them and let the people of the whole country see the determination of the Soviet Union to punish crimes. We need a bright future."

Having said that...

Vladimir asked a very strange question. He did not understand the document issued by Yanayev, "Are you arrested and brought to justice? General Secretary Yanayev, I noticed that some of the documents you issued show It's execution. We don't have the authority to execute criminals."

"Of course you don't have that right."

Yanayev replied indifferently, "It's not to arrest and bring to justice, but to kill on the spot when the evidence is solid. There is no need to go through the judge... Remember, you can only execute the leader and the mastermind behind it. You must go through a court trial before you can be convicted.”

It is one thing for Yanayev to rectify the order and establish the dignity of the law. It is another thing to establish the prestige of the new government by killing people and establish prestige for the new government. The blame can only be blamed on those bastards who are not good at provoking him. superior.Yanayev did it right on both ends.

He never paid attention to kindness and conscience.Moreover, this trick is also modeled on the method used by the Philippines to execute domestic criminals, using deterrence to make them feel scared and fearful.This is the real meaning of Yanayev's crackdown.

It is a very stupid thing to talk to criminals about their conscience, and killing people is the only way they can understand.

Yanayev didn't like playing cards according to routines, but the idea of ​​not playing cards according to routines turned the original dead end into a scene of revenge one day. When they come out to mess around, they have to understand that they will pay back sooner or later.When these people ride on the heads of the people, they should realize that their time is approaching.

Yanayev was still very calm, and he was bargaining with Comrade Vladimir to discuss the next development of the situation and possible chaos, hoping that the other party would make preparations as soon as possible.Once something is wrong, kill them immediately. Afterwards, as long as the publicity is that they resisted and were shot during the arrest, it was just a loophole.

Special treatment in special times.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already seconded armored vehicles and soldiers to Vladimir, and he is in charge of commanding them. If these things are done well tonight, then when you wake up tomorrow, you will see many corpses lying on the street. gnaw.And the impact of this scene is probably more direct and brutal than any legal education.

This is Lao Maozi's legal class, directly showing you what is simple and rude.

Finally, Vladimir sighed and said, "It seems that many people in Moscow are going to die tonight. If you want to blame them, blame them for daring to take risks and violate the law."

Yanayev said indifferently, "They will become a stepping stone for the new king to ascend the throne, as well as the corpses that support the throne of the entire country."

Chapter 9 Twelve The Bad News That Shocked the Whole City

Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow, held a cup of coffee and walked to the office as usual. This was an ordinary day for him. He finished his work as before and then drove home from work. A villa in the suburbs, thinking about where to go fishing on the Moscow River in the suburbs on weekends.

However, there was a small accident today. When he saw Pugo, the Minister of Internal Affairs who was about to retire at the door, he stopped in his tracks.Some doubts frowned, not knowing what happened.

Pugo waved to him, signaling Luzhkov to come over.The mayor known as the "absolute leader of Moscow City" took a step back when the person opposite waved his hand, and the idea of ​​fleeing appeared in his mind.A strong sense of foreboding came to mind.

"Good morning, Minister Pugo, but why are you here?" Luzhkov finally greeted him, and euphemistically hinted that this is his office, and the other party went by the wrong way.

Pugo didn't care what Luzhkov was thinking, in fact he didn't care what the other party was thinking.According to Yanayev, all those who block the progress of the times must be prepared to pay the price.

"I'm not Minister Pugo now."

Pugo smiled helplessly, looked at the other party's somewhat relieved look, and added another sad news, "I am now the head of the Central Special Inspection Commission, so you understand why I appear here."

Having said that, Luzhkov couldn't laugh anymore, he took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down.

What the Central Special Inspection Commission is, all officials in Moscow know it well.If the Central Commission for Disciplinary Inspection of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is a loyal servant of the entire Politburo, which is specially used to deal with the common enemies who block everyone's progress, then the Central Special Inspection Commission is Yanayev's sharp knife specially used to cleanse corrupt elements.It is different from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, completely independent of any one department, and only responsible to the general secretary.As long as Yanayev is willing, even the [-] comrades who fight together around him can wipe them all out.The Politburo is no longer a collective leader since the Stalin era. The particularity of the August [-] coup made Yanayev a leader over ten thousand people.
