Soviet Union 1991

Yanayev officially boarded a special plane to his vacation villa in Foros on the Black Sea. Before leaving, he took a look at the magnificent palace behind him. The red brick walls looked beautiful under the setting sun, and the Moskva River remained quiet. Quietly flowing through this quiet ancient city. The essence of the poetic souls of Gogol and Pushkin have long since aged in the cemetery, leaving the rotting coffins buried deep in the graves emitting the same disgusting stench as the red palace.

Those undercurrents of traitors extended their greedy claws to the supreme throne of power, trying to pull the captain who guided the old battleship forward from the command room and change the flag to their own colors.

The general secretary stood quietly and said nothing.

Watching their every move coldly.

Next, he no longer needs to think about other issues. The script has been arranged, and the people on the stage only need to follow his script step by step. An invisible hand controls all kinds of politicians and bureaucrats to go down step by step. They can't see the abyss under their feet. Every force thinks that it has a chance to win.

The convoy left the Kremlin and headed to the airport. Next, he would fly directly to the Foros villa for vacation. Many people could not figure out why Yanayev did not choose the Orenda villa in Crimea, but chose to arrest Gol Bachov's Villa Foros?

Because every Soviet leader had a preference for choosing a vacation villa, only Yanayev ordered that no one be allowed to request the construction of a villa, and no senior leader was allowed to use state funds to build such a flashy project.

Villa Foros was not a relaxing resort in Yanayev's eyes, but a disgrace.

Between 1996 and 1997, there were two major construction sites in the Soviet Union: one was to build a sarcophagus to cover the fourth reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, and the other was in Saary, Crimea. The Foros Villa was built near Cape Qi for the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Neither the leaders of the Soviet Union nor the leaders of Western countries had ever had such a villa before. Only the villa built by Ceausescu was more luxurious than this.

After Gorbachev stepped down, Yanayev always reminded himself that he would never make the same mistake again.

The general secretary is a public servant of the people and has no right to sit on their heads and lord it over them.

The final destination of the plane was Belbek Military Airport, the airport closest to the holiday villa. A convoy of the KGB Leaders' Security Service was already waiting there to take the General Secretary to the heavily guarded villa.

The real winner was hiding in the presidential plane, quietly reading a financial magazine. Genelalov, the head of the Presidential Security Service, sat next to Yanayev, his eyes never leaving him for a moment.

This was his first face-to-face contact with Chairman Yanayev. Perhaps because of his previous superior, Plekhanov, he did not include the leader of the Security Bureau as a confidant, but simply regarded the security bureau chief as a confidant. Leave the work to him. This leads to Genelalov facing an embarrassing situation. In the eyes of everyone, he is the person most likely to know all the secrets of the Chairman, but in fact Vladimir is his true confidant and has mastered most of the Kremlin's secrets. people.

"Comrade Genelalov."

Yanayev's cry startled him from his seat and looked around him alertly. However, he realized that he had lost his composure and quickly sat down and apologized to the General Secretary, "I'm sorry, General Secretary, I've been too nervous these days. ”

"What is Genelalov thinking? Why does he look so distracted? I thought something had happened to you. There are a lot of things going on in the Kremlin these days, so you have to take more care of it."

Afraid that his actions would arouse the other party’s suspicion, Genelalov gave a superfluous explanation, “It’s because the General Secretary’s arrangements have recently changed, and I have to take all the circumstances into consideration, so...that’s why I’m so nervous.” ”

Yanayev smiled and waved his hands to show that he didn't care. In his heart, he was looking at the other party's antics with ridicule. It seemed that the news he deliberately leaked scared the conservatives enough, otherwise Comrade Genelalov would not be as confident as he is facing a formidable enemy. For him, what could be more terrifying than facing a guy who doesn't play according to common sense and forces them to desperation.

When he heard that there were many things going on in the Kremlin, Genelalov's expression changed obviously. He looked at Yanayev unnaturally, and finally nodded.

I wonder how far the devil sitting directly opposite me has reached in his calculations? Was it possible that even the information he had obtained was included in his calculations? He even suspected for a time that the information he had obtained was false. Yanayev had other secrets that he was not allowed to know.

This feeling is very bad, as if being controlled by a pair of invisible hands, vaguely pushing towards some invisible abyss. He believed that the calm-looking General Secretary in front of him was the force behind everything.

"By the way, Comrade Genelalov, there is a question I would like to know. Do you feel that some comrades in Moscow are trying to carry out some big plans?"

Genelalov accidentally knocked over the cup on the table, and the water in it spilled all over the floor. He looked at Yanayev with a strange expression, and even subconsciously rubbed his hand on his waist, preparing to pull out a gun.

Instead of taking out a gun and taking the risk of assassinating the chairman, he kept the bullets in the gun for himself. If the Chairman already knows that he is a traitor around him, he will be shot into pieces by the surrounding security personnel before he can take out his gun.

Genelalov smelled a sign of danger. The man in front of him, no, to be precise, was more like a devil, a monster who had seen through everything.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Yanayev also noticed his restlessness and asked with some confusion, "Why do you look a little nervous? Do you also know that there is a secret force in Moscow?"

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Genelalov quickly put down his hand. He had almost exposed his identity and rejected Yanayev's statement, "No, I didn't feel anything strange. I just felt uncomfortable with Yanayev." General Secretary Husband is a bit curious. Who dares to do something behind your back?"

Yanayev explained, "There are many careerists in the political bureau and those who have been suppressed by me. I think these people are forming a secret alliance. If I were them, I would wait until I go to Foros. We took action when we were in the villa, held an emergency meeting, unified the comrades in the political bureau, and told them that if they did not unite against Yanayev. , they will be eliminated. I think these people will not hesitate to stand together and stand up against me to save their lives. When Beria was arrested and Khrushchev was forced to retire, they did not all take the same approach. Means? These people don’t have any innovations. Why can’t they use new methods every time when the person in power leaves the Kremlin?”

After listening to the other party's complaints, Genelalov didn't know how to reply to the general secretary. He felt that what he meant in his words pointed to Lukyanov and his actions.

"Um……"

"I'm on the president's plane. Now is their best chance to take action. It's a pity that if they don't take action now, they will never have the chance in the future."

"..."

After hearing what Yanayev said, Genelalov secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sneering in his heart. The other party didn't realize that his trap had been seen through. He thought he had a chance to win, but in fact there was another group of people watching his every move. Genelalov complained secretly about his paranoia. Yanayev will not discover the secret between him and Lukyanov. Once Vladimir is dealt with and Yanayev is forced out, they will push Pavlov to the position of chairman. Just like the drama in 1991.

Genelalov did not realize that he had made exactly the same mistake as Plekhanov. He was too optimistic when estimating the situation and did not expect the person standing behind him.

But what Yanayev said next made the director of the Leader's Security Bureau unable to laugh anymore.

"Alas, everyone thinks that they control the overall situation... but they don't know that there is a bigger picture waiting for these people behind the scenes. They are the ones who will be imprisoned in the Kazan Lunatic Asylum, not me."

"You think so? Comrade Genelalov?"
