Soviet Union 1991

Second update

Only when such a bombshell was dropped among the coup plotters did they realize how ridiculous what they were doing was, let alone contacting Turkish President Demirel to form a military alliance between Georgia and Turkey. speech. The Kremlin's eyes are not on itself at all. In his eyes, the Georgian separatist forces are not qualified to be called opponents. They are looking at the entire participating countries. Now think about Yanayev's so-called Great Purge and Suppressive Methods, which were simply tolerant of dissident elements in the franchising countries. What he really wanted to do was to weaken the power of the franchising countries from the root.

Turning the confederate countries into US federal-style confederate states deprived them of a series of reserved national political rights. Beishvili recalled that when Yanayev withdrew his troops, he only abolished the Far East Military District, while the Caucasus, Leningrad, Central Asia, Kiev, and Belarus not only did not reduce the number of troops, but also dispatched the withdrawn Far East troops to the member states. . It can be seen from the series of actions of the Soviet Union that Yanayev is not reducing armaments in the true sense, but is guarding against his own alliance countries!

But Beishvili understood it too late. Just when he just wanted to understand the matter, he was thrown into the prison in Vorkuta specially used to detain criminals. The rest of his life will be spent alone in this dark prison cell. The lack of execution is not a sign of mercy on the part of Moscow, but rather the way Moscow treats them is more painful than death.

The case of the Georgian political rebellion group headed by Beishvili and Steiner was announced to have been solved. The whole country was shocked when the case came out. No one expected that after Georgia experienced two rebellions, it would take the risk for a third time. , indeed the first front against Soviet rule.

The first secretaries of all the participating countries stared at Shushkevich with gloating eyes, thinking that he would be severely punished by Moscow.

indeed. Shushkevich was summoned to Moscow by Yanayev as soon as the incident occurred, but he was received by Moscow as a Hero of the Soviet Union on Red Square.

"Thank you Comrade Shushkevich for everything you have done for Moscow. I think the Central Committee will remember what you have done. Comrade Shushkevich, thank you for your hard work." Yanayev held his hand . Said with a smile. But he was thinking about another thing in his heart, which franchise country would be more suitable for this annoying guy to be transferred to as the first secretary. After all, such cunning politicians are rare.

"Then the agreement I had with Moscow before..." Shushkevich tried carefully. Yanayev's original request was that as long as Shushkevich was willing to cooperate with them, then Moscow would forget the past and he would continue as always. He firmly holds his position as the first secretary and enjoys the benefits of a national villa and free medical care.

"Still in effect." Yanayev nodded, "Comrade Shushkevich. I am a person who keeps his promises. I will definitely fulfill your request if I promise you. But if you do such a thing, the Georgian side will not wait for you." If you can’t go on, how about I transfer you to other franchise countries, such as Azerbaijan, Armenia or Estonia?”

Shushkevich's heart went cold. This was even more unacceptable than atonement. These areas were all countries with complex ethnic composition or strong demands for independence. Shushkevich, who was a traitor, went there to serve as The position of first secretary will definitely be squeezed out by local forces.

(WeChat public account: Yanayev, a new story series has started)

Yanayev's method of killing with a borrowed knife made Shushkevich swallow a bitter pill. The old fox couldn't even speak. In the face of Yanayev's absolute power and changeable political methods. He is just a guinea pig who is powerless to fight back.

"Thanks to General Secretary Yanayev for his promotion. I will definitely try my best to satisfy Moscow and reassure the people in the participating countries."

"I believe in your ability. Comrade Shushkevich. Of course, I also hope that you can correct your statement. You must first reassure the people, and then satisfy Moscow. From now on, there will be no Soviet Union member states. That’s right. There are only Soviet autonomous regions.”

Hearing this, Shushkevich could only smile bitterly and agreed to all Yanayev's requests. Who knew that the person standing in front of him was the supremely powerful General Secretary of the Soviet Union. So amid public disapproval, Shushkevich was temporarily suspended. It seems that this is Moscow's punishment for this old fox, but it is actually a preparation for his next subversion in the participating countries. For Yanayev, even if people like Shushkevich are not trustworthy, sending him some benefits at the right time can eliminate potential instability factors for him. Yanayev is still willing to accept such a deal.

All major newspapers in the Soviet Union reported on the Georgian political crisis. Yanayev also specially summoned the top leaders of all participating countries to hold a profound exchange meeting with them. Of course this is not a friendly negotiation. But the strong reproach of the storm.

Yanayev's face was very ugly, and in the eyes of many first secretaries of the participating countries, he looked like he was about to explode. As expected, Yanayev's first sentence emphasized the purity of class and revolutionary ranks. Although this term is outdated. But once it is emphasized, it means something is happening.

"I think about how to solve this problem once and for all. When no one takes the split of the franchise countries seriously, when everyone is watching Shushkevich gloating about his misfortune, when everyone thinks When Georgia is about to be in trouble, have you never thought that the events in Georgia will not happen in your country?"

"I think my methods were indeed too merciful. In the operation you call the Great Purge, I only executed the core figures related to the incident, and spared those who were related without conducting in-depth investigations. However, From this incident in Georgia, I can see that without a thorough eradication operation, it will be difficult to ensure the long-term stability of the participating countries. "

"So I hope you can think carefully about which side you are going to stand on when you go back, whether you are loyal to the Soviet Union, or whether you are colluding with others. The Soviet Union will never let go of enemies who try to harm their motherland, never."

Yanayev's unilateral and eloquent meeting ended with uncertain expressions on the faces of the representatives of various countries. They vaguely felt that Yanayev was sending a subtle signal to them.

After the first secretaries of each country returned to their respective member states, the Moskovsky newspaper first sent out the first test signal. The Kremlin was going to amend the constitution to abolish the state status of the member states and turn them into a state of the Soviet Union. Just like the federal system of the United States, except that the Soviet Union's control over states was much stricter than that of the United States, and centralization firmly suppressed local privileges.

At the same time, the Soviet media also began to emphasize the relationship between the unified ethnic groups of the Soviet Union. Whether they are Russian, Belarusian, Estonian, Lithuanian and other ethnic groups, they are essentially Soviet citizens and are all unified ethnic groups. Use the method of unified ethnic groups to suppress the independence of ethnic minorities.

The privileges of non-Russians were revoked, which was the most severe attack since the Stalin era. In the past, for the sake of national unity, we suppressed the dominant ethnic groups and then granted superior privileges to ethnic minorities. At the beginning of the Yanayev era, the tradition changed. Although it maintained a lukewarm attitude towards the Russians, its high-pressure policy towards ethnic minorities began to appear. Yanayev's repressive policy is aimed at all ethnic groups. In his eyes, there are only two things: the mother of the country and the socialist system. Other national independence fanaticism and chauvinism are all heresies that should be damned.

The first secretaries of the major participating countries were no longer calm. Such an approach was tantamount to cutting off their way of survival. There were also many comments criticizing Yanayev, which instantly pushed the Moscow leadership to the forefront of public opinion.

The Soviet Union once again faced a crisis among the joining countries. (To be continued.)
