USSR 1991

Any traitor standing in the way of the progress of the age will be sniffed out and executed.

Minister Pugo sat down in Luzhkov's office. His voice was not loud, but Luzhkov could hear every word clearly.

"I have heard such a saying that time is advancing, the country is changing, Moscow is changing, and only Moscow Mayor Luzhkov remains unchanged. Do you know what this passage means?"

Minister Pugo's rhetorical question made the other party shudder. He didn't know whether it was because of the Minister of the Interior or because he was already a member of the special inspection committee. He shrunk his neck subconsciously and shook his head to deny the rumors.Luzhkov pointed to the ceiling and said convincingly, "I have never done anything wrong to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, I swear to God."

Seeing the other party's funny performance, Pugo shook his head helplessly, "You don't need to swear to God, in fact, as long as you are loyal to General Secretary Yanayev, no matter what you do, you will turn a blind eye to it. Including your independent kingdom of Moscow, and your insatiable wife Yelena. You have contributed a lot to the reform and opening up, including your painstaking leadership team composed of experts and doers. These people don't like to show their faces, they are buried in their work, they are dedicated and willing to obey The party's unified command and unified will."

It can be seen from the fact that the media seldom discloses the contradictions and factions within the Moscow city government, Luzhkov's absolute control over power.

"But General Secretary Yanayev is very distressed. Although he praised your ability to create capital profits is second to none, even to the point that 10 out of every 4 rubles in Soviet government revenue are created by the city of Moscow. But Yanayev It's time for General Secretary Yev to clean up the 'worms'. Starting next year, the leadership will be replaced. Neither you nor I can adapt to the development of the times. Sitting in this position will only become Yanayev's hinder."

Luzhkov clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "The Politburo cannot treat me like this. I have created enough wealth for this city! I am Yanayev's hero!"

"You are indeed Yanayev's hero, otherwise do you think you can sit in this position for so many years?"

Pugo looked at the poor guy in front of him, and said mockingly, "General Secretary Yanayev is a meritocracy, so even if you sit in that position and use power for personal gain, he will choose to turn a blind eye. Oh yes, he Also express a big thank you for creating a stable, united and practical leadership team for the Moscow city government, and now you can retire from this position. Just hand over this group of people."

Luzhkov worked hard for many years, and in the end it was just laying the foundation for future leadership.

"You want me to retire now?" Luzhkov was shocked. "No, I can't leave now. Moscow still needs me! I can't leave this position."

People who have been in power for too long are always attached to power.

Pugo looked at the other party with a disgusted expression. Until now, Luzhkov hadn't figured out what Yanayev was thinking, and he deserved to be the first person to be dragged into the water in this purge.

"I must reiterate, a very important point. Your retirement is the best outcome, not the worst outcome. The worst outcome may be that you and your wife are sent to the gallows."

Pugo replied in a cold voice, "Retirement is conditional, that is, you must fully account for the crimes committed by the interest groups behind you, otherwise you will not even think about getting out of this door today."

Pugo clapped his hands, and then the entourage who came in gently closed the door, and there were only him and the other party in the entire office.Pugo leaned on the sofa and regained the vigor he had when he was the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Anyway, the task Yanayev gave him was to offend everyone.

"I'll give you paper and pen, and tell me all your names. If you don't want your wife Yelena and your children to have any accidents, just give me an honest account. Start with the Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then the Deputy Mayor, The secretary of the municipal party committee, etc., all the sins of everyone must be clearly written, and you can only step out of this door after explaining clearly."

"You are really a loyal guard of the party..."

Luzhkov's eyes were bloodshot from being too angry, and he wished he could execute the guy in front of him on the spot.But think of the huge shadow behind Pugo.

This is the general secretary who has turned collective leadership into one-man leadership by himself. In terms of strength, all the armed forces of the sea, land and air are loyal to him. In terms of strategy, no one in Moscow is his opponent.The other party doesn't even need to use conspiracy and tricks, just tell him that I just want to deal with you, and you can't do anything about it.

"Write it, Mayor Luzhkov, for the future of your children and your wife, do you want to see their tragic end? The special inspection committee of your wife and the Ministry of Energy has long been clear, at least Tell me, you don't have to die yet."

Luzhkov said with a sneer, "If I hand them over, I will die. Even if the Party Central Committee agrees to let me hand over all my assets and get out, these people will not let us go."

Luzhkov didn’t even dare to run. In 1991, the director of the labor bureau and his family fled to Miami, thinking that they could rest easy. In order to make an example to others, Moscow directly sent agents into the United States to kill the whole family of traitors in the motherland in a hotel. After that, even if they accepted disciplinary inspection No one dared him to step out of the committee's investigation.

"I don't know what will happen to you in the future, but your wife and your children's safety is on your mind."

Pugo's unconscious narration made Luzhkov feel cold all over.He believed that the lunatics on the special inspection committee could do anything, especially if they believed that what they were doing was a just cause.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Luzhkov sighed, and said in despair, "I wrote it, and I will explain everything. But I only hope that General Secretary Yanayev can let go of the promise for so many years." my family."

"of course."

Pugo pushed the pen in front of the other party, and said with a smile, the death and life of everyone was decided in an understatement.

"How about your family depends on this document."

Chapter 9 Judgment!execution!

Anatoly Yakunin had not yet understood what had happened when members of the special monitoring committee entered the office of the head of the Moscow General Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The members of the special inspection committee revealed their identities and asked Anatoly to cooperate with them in a series of investigations.

This made the head of the Moscow Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs very upset. Since Pugo retired to the second line and Comrade Vladimir became the chairman of the Council of Ministers, he has become a powerful figure in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As long as he moves forward a little bit , he will be the new Minister of the Interior in the future.The appearance of the members of the Special Prosecutorial Committee is obviously aimed at him.

"We are not targeting you, Comrade Anatoly. By the way, Pugo has become the head of the special prosecutorial committee, so if you have any questions, please protest to us after the investigation is over, but Before that, we need to investigate your bribery situation, don’t be nervous, the Supervisory Committee has all the information, your protests and appeals are invalid.”

"What a joke."

Anatoly held back his anger, "I'll just say it once, I'm the director of the Moscow Administration Bureau, the number one person with the most power in the police department, even if I want to investigate, I shouldn't be examined by members of the special inspection committee, what about the disciplinary committee ? Where are they?"

The investigator sitting opposite him pushed his glasses and said very calmly, "I'm sorry, it's just you and me today, there is no third person. Of course, if you want to do something, a certain leader of the Politburo is also watching Watching your every move, it is said that he has recently been very interested in the case of blackmailing Moscow citizens by police officers under the police department. The Disciplinary Inspection Committee has discovered some particularly interesting secrets from this aspect. If it is spread out, I am afraid that the entire Moscow police Departments will be overthrown and restarted. So before we continue to delve into it, you should speak up yourself. Regarding the movement of the huge unknown property of 800 million rubles, and your collusion with some dark and evil groups in Moscow, I need to talk about the topic Call it out? Your dirty dealings with the Jews? They secure the underground market and you provide them with an umbrella, don't you?"

"I do not have."

"What you said is purely a false accusation! I do not accept your investigation!"

He knew that only by fighting to the end would he have a chance to escape. Although he didn't know who wanted to touch him, as long as he survived this round of investigation by the special inspection committee, he would naturally use the power behind him to settle everything.

Anatoly moved his hand to the phone, but was grabbed by the other party.What he saw was a plain face, but every word he uttered was filled with intriguing fear.

"If you made this call today, wait to collect the body for your family. I just want to tell you the bad news. The so-called investigation is just a formality. In fact, he has already had a sheet in his hand that says A blacklist of everyone's names. The big boss behind the scenes is going to take action, and he still does not follow the routine. That is to say, no matter who is on the blacklist, they will not be able to save their lives."

"He just tried to complete this plan in a low-key manner, and he didn't want people with ulterior motives to be labeled as anti-rebels. I advise you, Comrade Anatoly, to explain honestly, just go through the motions, and your family will be safe. Nothing. The higher-ups have already ordered that there is no need for any interrogation. The evidence we have is enough, you just need to plead guilty."

"If you plead guilty, you will die. If you don't plead guilty, the whole family will be unlucky."

These are the words of Yanayev.

Anatoly looked embarrassed and couldn't believe what the person in front of him said.Even if the general secretary does this, he will be attacked by other central committee members. He wants to control everyone's life and death. Even the minister of defense and the prime minister will not agree to this crazy plan.

"You are just a small person, and you will never understand what the big person is thinking. Just like me, I am just an indispensable screw. Don't be delusional or stupid enough to compete with a whole violent machine. As long as he moves his finger, Can crush you to pieces."

A member of the supervisory committee pointed to his waist and whispered, "with a gun."

"kindness?"

Anatoly looked at him strangely, as if he didn't understand what the other party was talking about.

"It's your best ending to kill yourself. Moscow has already arranged follow-up handover personnel. After you die, they can take office directly. Don't blame the upper-level leaders for being merciless. It's you who messed up everything. "

He raised his left hand, looked at his watch, and stood up.

"Well, it's almost time to liquidate those Jews. You are luckier than them. Do you know what will happen to these 'sabotage elements who endanger people's property and safety'?"

"Kill them all."

With trembling hands, Anatole slowly reached for the gun at his waist, fear was swallowing his heart.He didn't want to die, but as the person in front of him said, if he didn't die, the higher-ups would never let his family go.

Dealing with one's own people is always simpler and more brutal than dealing with the leaders of other countries. Maozi's method is like this. In other countries, they need to go through a series of trials before they can be executed, but in his opinion, all of this is taken for granted coercion.

The conversation between the inspection committee members and him was over, and he didn't need to pay attention to the poor man sitting behind the desk, fate's bullet would go through his temple or his jaw, and his head would be smashed into a mess.

He walked out of Anatoly's room and closed the door softly.

He stood silently in the corridor with a cigarette in his hand, waiting for the gunshot to sound.
