Soviet Union 1991

(Second update completed)

Kravchuk, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine, rushed to the Kremlin in a hurry. Before he could rest, he was led directly to Yanayev's presidential office. He was depressed about what happened, but he was halfway in the corridor. I saw the back of Shushkevich. Want to read a book

"Shushkevich, my friend." Kravchuk called Shushkevich from behind. The other party turned around, but what he was left with was a pale and bloodless face, and he reluctantly squeezed out towards him. A smile. Seeing this scene, Kravchuk couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and quickened his pace to meet him.

The two were walking side by side, and Kravchuk whispered to Shushkevich, "Why did Yanayev summon the two of us to the presidential office this time? The two of us have been keeping our peace since August. Do something outrageous."

"Haha, can you and I figure out Yanayev's thoughts? What will happen to those who thought they were in peace?" Shushkevich said as he walked, almost in a low voice that only he could hear. The voice cursed, "Unexpectedly, after leaving Gorbachev, a coward, the Soviet Union welcomed a madman Yanayev, and his reckless recklessness actually temporarily stabilized the country's situation."

"Maybe the other party is really like the outside rumors, and the Kremlin is inhabited by an evil genius like Stalin." Kravchuk said, and finally added, "But so what? He can resist. The public opinion of tens of millions of people?”

The door of the office was closed tightly, and the two of them stopped at the door and waited quietly. Shushkevich was a little curious. Didn't the president specially come to summon them? Why are there still sounds of someone talking to Yanayev in the house now?

Just when the two people outside the door were thinking wildly, the closed door was opened. The first person to come out was a frustrated Pavlov. He greeted the two leaders of the participating countries outside the door perfunctorily. When the second person came out, Kravchuk suddenly raised his head and saw a person he never wanted to see again in his life. General Rogionov, the former commander-in-chief of the Caucasus Military Region, was looking at the enemy with a cold look. Look at him with good intentions.

"Chairman Kravchuk, it's been a long time since we last met. Let me think about it, the last time we met was three years ago." There was a hidden meaning in General Rozionov's words. Perhaps it was because of his guilty conscience. The other party's words made Kravchuk feel full Uncomfortable up and down.

"I remember clearly the trial at the Congress of People's Deputies of the Soviet Union in 1989. You expressed your opinions at that time and insisted that the thugs were demonstrating peacefully and that the army beat innocent people. And I want to pay for the lives lost in the Tbilisi incident. The eighteen demonstrators are responsible, right? But looking at today’s situation, I can’t help but think of a proverb in the Bible: He who sows the wind will be devastated by the storm.”

Logionov took a step forward, approached Kravchuk, raised the corner of his mouth and threatened coldly, "Kravchuk, the disaster you sown back then will soon come."

Kravchuk snorted coldly and pretended not to care about Rodionov's words. When he entered the office, he kept muttering in his heart what Yanayev had in mind. He glanced at Shushkevich next to him, who also looked at him with the same complicated expression. Logionov's appearance here was definitely not a good thing for them.

"Hey, Comrade Kravchuk and Comrade Shushkevich, welcome to your arrival. I have been waiting for a long time." Yanayev, as an excellent politician, could still pretend to be happy when looking at the enemy in front of him. Come to greet them, but in your heart you sneer at them.

Kravchuk, an economics teacher who advocated the implementation of a market economy, the introduction of a national currency, and the expansion of foreign trade, but this resulted in a continuous decline in production and a high inflation rate. Shushkevich, a physics student at the Belarusian Academy of Sciences Professor, it is really ridiculous for people who came to power by relying on the slogan of democracy to insist on teasing international politics.

"President Yanayev, are you so anxious to summon us for something important?" Kravchuk glanced at Rodionov who had just left the door, turned around and faced Yanayev's order. The eyes looked a bit sinister, and one could not help but shudder.

"I want to ask you a question. At the end of 1988, the Supreme Soviet of the Estonian Soviet Republic adopted a declaration of sovereignty of the republic. Do you know about this?" Yanayev asked.

Kravchuk and Shushkevich looked at each other, but they both answered in unison, "We know."

Seeing that the two men answered the questions honestly, Yanayev, who was still holding back in his heart, continued, "It was also in that year that a wave of what was then called a grand display of sovereignty broke out across the Soviet Union. There are only union republics, but there are also autonomous republics, border areas, ethnic areas, and even some areas that were not actually In the region that exists, in the process of this sovereignty wind, the biggest blow to national unity was the declaration of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation on Russian state sovereignty in 199o, which directly declared that the highest legal body of Russia is above federal law, you know What are the dangers of this approach?”

Yanayev's questions became more and more targeted. Kravchuk rolled his Adam's apple and answered with some difficulty that he didn't know.

"Let me tell you where the danger lies. This means that you are above the Soviet Constitution. A member country actually has the right to impose its will on a whole. This kind of part-over-whole thesis has the destructive effect that cannot be underestimated." Sexual power, that’s what I want to tell you!”

At the end of the speech, Yanayev's voice rose several decibels, and even the people passing by the door stopped and looked curiously at the closed door of the supreme leader, guessing what kind of dispute was going on inside.

"But if the participating countries do not have sovereignty, how can they show Soviet democracy..." Kravchuk lowered his head and retorted in a low voice.

"Fuck you for your hypocritical democracy, fuck your democracy!" Yanayev, who was almost blinded by anger, suddenly realized that he was not speaking Russian, and quickly changed his words, "Well, sovereignty is not The banner you have used as a banner is against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Soviet Union. To put it more seriously, you are engaging in separatism and treason. "

The charge of treason is very serious, and Yanayev used the charge of treason to threaten the two people in front of him.

For the first time, Kravchuk saw Yanayev like an angry lion, still roaring in a language he could not understand at all, so he lowered his head and glanced at the silent Shushkevich next to him. , using your eyes to signal the other person to do something.

Shushkevich, who understood deeply, raised his head and said, "President Yanayev, what do you mean?"

"What I mean? It's very simple." After beating around the bush for so long, Yanayev put his intention on the table as a bargaining chip, "Doesn't the Soviet Union have three voting rights in the United Nations? I want to cancel the Ukrainian Republic now. The United States and the Republic of Belarus have legal seats in the United Nations and form a highly unified Soviet decision-making power. I called you here today to announce this to you."

It is not a discussion but an announcement. Yanayev's attitude has made it clear that the days won by the joining countries in 1988 are coming to an end, and the Soviet Iron Curtain will regain control of everything and form a new unbreakable alliance.

"As for whether the two of you here choose to obey or perish, it's up to you."

Yanayev leaned back in his chair and looked at the two leaders of the participating countries with uncertain expressions.
