Struggle in Soviet Russia

The relationship between people is actually a very subtle thing. In a phrase, real contact can promote mutual understanding.

In the past, for Victor, Comrade Malinkov was completely a person who did not connect with him. Therefore, his understanding of this leading comrade was limited to the propaganda in newspapers and other media, as well as the hearsay obtained from certain aspects. .

And this time, he finally came into contact with this person. Although he didn’t get along for a long time, he still had a basic understanding. In his opinion, Malinkov is a very capable person who belongs to him. People who can decisively implement their ideas.

In addition, although this person started his career by working as a “retreat”, he is obviously more interested in actual work, and he does not know anything. At least among all the senior leaders that Victor has contacted, this person is the only one who really values People in the civilian field of science and technology research and development, and other people, the basic focus is on military technology.

At this point, Victor felt that he and Malinkov seemed to share more topics in common.

Of course, this is only the first time the two have dealt with each other in depth. As for the future, we have to walk slowly to see.

For the rectification work of the People’s Committee of National Security, the central government only gave three months. Therefore, the relevant work has been carried out in full swing after the notice was issued, but what is interesting is that the five new members identified in the notice Adding a vice chairman, but never delineating the final candidate.

However, under the leadership of the Organization Bureau of the Central Secretariat, the presidium of the National Security Plenary Meeting was established.

The chairman of the presidium is naturally Serov himself, and the two first vice-chairmen identified are Victor and Fitin, and Comrade Eitingo is the first vice-chairman.

In the specific division of labor, Comrade Serov is mainly responsible for the daily work of the presidium and the overall work of the overall management; Victor, as the first vice chairman, is responsible for presiding over the specific work of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, that is, the First General Bureau. At the same time, in order to facilitate the development of the work, the work of the Science and Technology Bureau is also under his guidance; Comrade Feijing is mainly responsible for the party affairs of the committee and the organization of cadres. Therefore, he is only in charge of one department, which is also the most critical department. ——Organization Bureau; Comrade Aitingo is responsible for a lot of work. He is in charge of the Counterintelligence Bureau, the Ideological Security Bureau, the Special Operations Bureau, and the Foreigners Surveillance Bureau. To put it bluntly, he is the head of the secret police. .

According to the regulations of the Organization Bureau of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, the Committee also established two departments: the Supervision Bureau and the Cadre Bureau. The Supervision Bureau is responsible for party affairs supervision and the Cadre Bureau is responsible for work supervision. The former can be understood as a department that supervises the party's work style and clean government, while the latter is a department that supervises the daily work of the various general bureaus of the committee.

According to a supplementary notice from the Organization Bureau of the Central Secretariat, the person in charge of the Supervision Bureau will be dispatched by the Central Supervisory Committee. If nothing happens, a deputy member of the Central Supervisory Committee should assume this position. The person in charge of the Cadre Bureau is dispatched by the Cadre Bureau of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, and most of his status is also a deputy committee member.

Because they are dispatched cadres, these two people do not usually come to the National Security People’s Committee to work. They only come to work when there are unexpected problems or when they go through the review process on a regular basis.

As the head of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, Victor did not participate in the structure of the entire committee department. He was only responsible for the reorganization of the Foreign Intelligence Agency.

According to the division of regions, he divided the entire dispatched agency of the Foreign Intelligence Agency into thirteen divisions, such as the Northern Europe Division, East Asia Division, Southeast Asia Division, etc. In addition, there are similar intelligence analysis centers, data support centers, etc. In total, the six auxiliary departments have 19 subordinate divisions in the Foreign Intelligence Bureau alone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Victor formally assigned Sophia to the position of chief of the secretariat. At the same time, she also served as the director of the data support center, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Because of the new establishment of many departments, the gap in related cadres is relatively large. Unlike the previous adjustments, this time, the Organization Bureau of the Secretariat of the Central Committee did not give too much time to the committee department, but directly requested from the roster of party members and cadres. Pick.

It was during this process that Victor first came into contact with the party member and cadre information index card in the archives of the Organization Bureau.

This thing was originally created by Malinkov and Yezhov. There are more than 20 archive storage racks that are 17 meters long and 2 meters high in the entire warehouse. Information about nearly six million Bolshevik party members in the entire Soviet Union is stored in the warehouse. Here, it also includes those who have been sacrificed on the front lines in the war.

There are five ways to retrieve the archives of the entire archives: index by surname, index by time of joining the party, index by education level, index by post and index by region.

This thing is very scientific and very convenient to use, but I heard that this kind of very convenient thing is also a lot of effort during the big cleaning.

In general, with the help of the Organization Bureau, the work of appointing and dismissing cadres has been completed smoothly. It’s just that these newly promoted intelligence cadres have sufficient abilities to do their jobs. Look.

…………………………

This year's rainy season seems to be extremely long.

Inside the villa on the Gogol Boulevard, beside the window of the bedroom on the second floor, a stretched hand with a blue vein stubbornly held the window frame wet by rain, and his slender arm stretched to the back of the heavy window curtain that kept shaking violently. , And with the shaking of the gray-blue window curtains, waves of physical impacts floated out of the window, but they were quickly diminished by the sound of dense rain.

The curtains vibrated rhythmically for a long time, until the blushing "pop" ceased, and after a while, Victor, with sweat on his forehead and flushed face, appeared in the window with his upper body naked.

He glanced at the deserted street outside the window, then panted heavily and sat on a chair by the window. Then, a woman in a messy military uniform also appeared at the window, but the shadow just flickered. It disappeared under the window again.

The sound of rain outside the window, inside the window... chirps and chirps.

"I'm leaving tonight," I don't know how long it has been. Safina, who has put her military uniform on her body, reappeared in the window. She handed a newspaper to Victor and put her in the other hand. He handed him the cigarette and lighter, and then said, "It is estimated that it will take a month to come back."

The National Security People's Committee was reorganized, and Safina was transferred to the General Affairs Bureau to be responsible for the related work of material procurement. This time, she received an order to go to the Caucasus, which was a long trip.

"Would you like me to send you?" Victor put the newspaper on his lap, took out another cigarette, held it in his hand, and asked.

"No," Safina stretched out her hand to touch his face, smiled and shook her head and said, "Our relationship should be as low-key as possible."

There is one benefit to being a lover to a person like Victor...maybe it is not a benefit, that is, it always attracts the attention of others.

Although neither of the two publicized their relationship, it was not easy to hide this relationship completely in a place like the People’s Committee of National Security. Therefore, the direct consequence was Fenner became a very special presence in the General Affairs Bureau.

Of course, no one would chew his tongue behind his back, but someone would always provide Safina with some convenience. When Comrade Feijin was in charge of the logistics work of the committee department, he took special care of Safina. This kind of care is not at work, but at the attitude of daily dealings.

Comrade Feijing is not a kind person. On the contrary, when dealing with subordinates, he is very serious. It is easy to not see a smile on that face, but Safina is a special existence. To a certain extent, It also affects the people in the entire logistics system.

And Safina is not an ambitious woman, because of her character, she is not even suitable for a leadership position. For this reason, she is very popular in her department. Otherwise, there will always be irresponsible people behind her. There will be.

"When you get there, if you have any difficulties, remember to call me." Holding Safina's hand and holding it to his mouth, Victor kissed her on the back of her hand, and said, "Victor Semeno Comrade Vikki is still there. Although my relationship with him is not good, it's okay to ask him for a little help."

This Viktor Semenovich refers to Abakumov. Although the rebellion in the Caucasus has subsided, he has not returned to Moscow, but continues to be responsible for ethnic migration there.

As Victor said, although he and Abakumov are not friends, they are also former colleagues at any rate, and there is no contradiction between them. Given this guy’s "notoriety" in the Caucasus, it is estimated that there is nothing he can do there. It's impossible.

Safina smiled, did not say anything, just leaned over and kissed his lips.

Seeing the woman's slender back disappear outside the bedroom door, Victor sniffed, lit the cigarette in his hand, and shook the newspaper on his lap.

In the last two days, the most frequent occurrence of various newspapers and radios in Moscow is definitely the ongoing battle in Kursk. After nearly a month of fierce fighting, the Soviet army finally took the initiative in this significant battle. On the three fronts, the German army entered a stage of retreat and even defeat.

However, even though the newspaper was unfolded, Victor didn't even bother to read it. He smoked a cigarette and turned his head to look out the window.

After a while, Safina appeared on the side of the street outside the building with an umbrella. Perhaps she felt the gaze from the upper floor. She stopped and turned to look upstairs.
