Struggle in Soviet Russia

For today’s alliance, no, it should be said that for the current world, ideological output seems to be limited to a very limited number of forms, such as the formation of organizations like the Communist International, or the provision of financial support. , The use of violent armed intervention, etc., using novels and film and television works as the main carriers to carry out ideological propaganda is obviously not common.

Moreover, in Victor's view, since the birth of Marxism-Leninism, especially after the success of the Soviet revolution, the red regime has obviously done better than Western countries in terms of ideological output.

Just like the espionage personnel recruited by the Foreign Intelligence Agency of the People’s Commissar of National Security in the United Kingdom and the United States, especially the so-called "Cambridge Five Great", the reason why they serve the intelligence agencies of the alliance is not for the pursuit of monetary reward, but purely based on Their personal position.

In general, everything can be summed up in one sentence, that is, this era is still an era where class stance and class struggle are more important. From another perspective, this era is also just beginning to rise in the United States, and it is not yet big. The age of cultural export and ideological competition.

As a rebirth, Victor knows very well that in the near future, as the curtain of the Cold War is officially unveiled, the United States, which has an absolute economic advantage, will fully use its propaganda machinery. At that time, it will truly have the right to speak. The side that will dominate the world’s criteria for distinguishing between good and evil, and the capital-controlled media will show the world clearly what is true brainwashing.

Although Victor is now the top of the alliance, he has no problems with regard to political stance, but even so, he has to admit that in the world economic stage after the war, the strength of the alliance may not be in a short period of time. The method is on par with that of the United States, and if one cannot grasp the advantage economically, it will be difficult to grasp the advantage in terms of public opinion and propaganda.

But to be irresponsible, Victor is not responsible for propaganda and agitation in the league after all. He doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing. Taking a step back, even if he wants to worry about this kind of thing, he can't worry about it. After all, on the whole, the output of ideology is similar to the output of culture. If a country has an advantage in comprehensive national power, where does the manifestation of soft power come from?

The encounter in the underground tavern was the first in-depth contact between Victor and Vasily. In terms of personal perception, Victor felt that this young man was still very good, at least, when he was not drunk. There is no breath of dude.

You know, after all, Vasily is Comrade Stalin's son, and since Yakov's death, he has also become Comrade Stalin's only son. As far as Victor knows, Comrade Stalin has always been not very gentle towards his children, and it can even be said to be very strict. However, after Yakov’s sacrifice, his attitude towards Vasily became much softer, but even That's the case. As the leader's only son, Vasily didn't show that kind of superb prince's appearance, of course, not counting after drinking.

As for the favor that Vasily asked him to help, Victor certainly would not refuse, after all, it was not a big deal, and it was completely within his ability.

To put it in the best place, even though Victor is not interested in the second generation like Vasily, there is no need to offend them anyway.

But for the matter itself, Victor still needs to report to Comrade Stalin. He had to let Comrade Stalin know what Vasily's purpose was in finding himself, so as not to make this leader comrade think too much.

After reaping Vasily’s gratitude, Victor left the underground tavern and drove back to the National Security People’s Committee. When he returned to his office, the first thing he did was to call Comrade Stalin and talk to him. Reported on Vasily's request for help.

Obviously, Victor’s consideration is very necessary. Comrade Stalin is very concerned about this matter. He inquired in detail about Grekov on the phone, and also inquired about the details of the conversation between Victor and Vasily. .

Of course, Victor would not hide anything from Comrade Stalin in this matter. He not only told in detail about his meeting with Vasily, he also explained his views on Grekov. come out. He told Comrade Stalin on the phone that Grekov’s affairs are very representative and propaganda. Perhaps the General Political Department and the Propaganda Department can take out Grekov’s deeds and do something about it. Fan promotion, I believe the effect will be very good.

However, Comrade Stalin was not interested in the publicity of this deed, he just wanted to know why his son went to Victor for help.

After hanging up Comrade Stalin's call, Victor sat behind his desk and reached out for a stack of letter paper. At this time, he was on a whim and really wanted to write the "Real People" from his previous life.

Speaking of which, if Victor writes this "Real Man" again, then after he is reborn, he will have three works published. Among them, "The Dawn Here is Quiet" is undoubtedly the most in the league. popular.

These widely circulated works have also brought a certain amount of income to Victor. Yes, although the relevant departments of the alliance paid him not a lot, it is not too small. In the past two years, there have been almost a few. It looks like ten thousand rubles.

However, for people of Victor's level, especially in the league, money can play a very limited role. The treatment he can enjoy and the standard of living he can maintain are not It is determined by the number of rubles in the wallet, but by his status.

Just when Victor started writing his third work after his rebirth, it was thousands of miles away in Western Ukraine, Lviv Oblast, and about fifty kilometers away from Lviv, the capital of the Oblast, in Lavalosskaya.

Unlike Moscow, where the sun is shining brightly, the weather in Lavaloskaya today is not so good. The light rain has been falling since morning. Even after noon, the rain still did not stop.

Less than 30 kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​Lavalosskaya, in the village of Macieve surrounded by the jungle, a convoy of a jeep and four trucks broke through the rain and galloped from the direction of the city. Finally, it stopped. Next to the railway line at the entrance of the village.

When the convoy stopped, a major in the uniform of the NKVD jumped off the jeep for the first time. He touched the gun pouch around his waist with one hand and the army on his head with the other. Hat, frowned and looked at a wooden stake not far away.

The wooden post was supposed to be used to indicate the direction. Even now, the arrow-shaped wooden board marked with Lavalosskaya letters is still nailed to the top of the wooden post, but other than that, it’s here. There was a **** corpse hanging on the stake.

This is the corpse of a middle-aged male man. He was stripped naked and his naked body was covered with scars. What is disgusting is that the murderer sliced ​​open his lower abdomen and took out all his internal organs. , Discarded on the ground in front of him.

The major looked at the corpse for a moment, then suddenly turned around and vomited while holding the car door with one hand.

"Major Gnut," just as the major was vomiting, a second lieutenant who also wore a worker and peasant police uniform walked hurriedly from the village. The civilian police lieutenant obviously knew the vomiting major, and he was hitting far away. Hello, said.

Hearing the ensign's shout, Major Gnut forcibly stopped his desire to vomit. He tilted his head, not daring to look at the corpse hanging on the stake, and asked vaguely: "How is the situation? , Lieutenant Shaer."

"Very bad," the second lieutenant walked over, his police uniform was already soaked, and water was dripping from the brim of his hat, but he couldn't worry about this anymore, he just walked quickly. Coming over, he stretched out his hand and wiped his face, and said, "Not only in the village, but also on the train, there are dead people everywhere. Those guys are simply inhumane."

Listening to the ensign, Major Gnut raised his head and glanced in the direction of the village.

Looking through the rain screen, you can see the shaking of people in the village. In addition, there are two white police cars dedicated to the Workers’ and Peasants’ Police Headquarters, which are parked on the small square at the entrance of the village, and in the place where the police cars stop. One person fell to the ground, and it looked like it was a corpse.

The sight was slightly deflected, passing the village, looking to the south, and you could see the railway line passing through the forest. At this time, a train stopped on the railway line, and beside the train, there were also policemen shaking. .

The words of the second lieutenant, coupled with everything he saw before him, made Major Gnut’s brows frowned. Before, when he was notified, he realized that something might have happened, but at the time he couldn’t think of how serious it was. , Now it seems that this matter is no longer what he can handle.

"Up to now, we have found nearly seventy corpses in the village," the second lieutenant said after seeing the major not speaking, "the train has not been counted yet, besides that, we still found them in the woodland over there. With signs of soil loosening, I suspect there could be a burial pit."

The tone paused, and the second lieutenant glanced at Major Gnut, and then continued: "Comrade Major, I think we have to report to Lviv, not just to the Lviv Bureau. We have to report to the municipal party committee. Such a big thing is not something we can take care of."
