Struggle in Soviet Russia

After a simple breakfast, Victor, who was neatly dressed, appeared on the drizzle-covered glade. At this time, two jeeps were parked beside the path leading to the deep jungle in the clearing. Varenka and Si A Soviet soldier with a Bobosha submachine gun was huddled together smoking a cigarette.

Ji Ana sent Victor to the car, hugged him lightly, and then opened the door for him.

There is not too much reluctance between the two of them. Ji Ana is a very ambitious woman, and Victor... There are a lot of women around Victor. It is impossible for him to put all his feelings on Ji Ana. Therefore, the kind of Yiyi farewell that can only be seen in TV dramas and movies is not suitable for the two of them, it is too artificial.

Bending into the car, Victor adjusted his sitting posture, looked down at Ji Ana who was waving at him outside the window, smiled slightly, and then said to Valenka in the front driver's seat: "Let's drive."

The car started quickly and sprinted straight down the forest path. Now Victor was going to Orel, meeting with the army still waiting for him, and then taking the train to Moscow.

This time Victor did not return to Moscow alone. There were many other people who passed with him. In addition to Comrade Merkulov, who is the acting People’s Commissar of the NKVD, there are also people from the Polish National Liberation Committee. That is, some people in the Polish Provisional Government of Lublin. In addition, there are some people from the Czechoslovak Provisional Government, as well as border guard officers and soldiers who have made meritorious service in the suppression of bandits in West Ukraine.

In the previous encirclement and suppression, the Ukrainian rebels suffered great losses, and their remnants were forced to hide, even Stepan Bandera, who always jumped up and down before, and the so-called head of the "Ministry of Security" Ni Gula Lebed also disappeared. According to the information provided by the Foreign Intelligence Agency, these two guys appeared to have sneaked into Hungary and hid behind the German defense line.

For now, the suppression of bandits in West Ukraine has temporarily come to an end. However, this so-called end only refers to the end of the operation. The strike against the Ukrainian rebels is far from over.

Just before Victor left for Moscow this time, he received an order from Moscow. According to this order, the post-war reconstruction committee of the West Ukraine region will be established in the near future. After that, the National Security People’s Committee and the People’s Republic of Internal Affairs The Committee must work closely with the Reconstruction Committee to move Ukrainians from Western Ukraine, including Warren, Lviv, and Zakarpatnam, to Central Asia.

In fact, the relocation of Ukrainians from the West Ukraine region had already begun to show signs. Otherwise, the NKVD would not conduct a census in the entire West Ukraine region.

As far as Victor knew, the main purpose of Moscow's order to implement large-scale population migration in West Ukraine should be twofold: first, to solve the riots of the Ukrainian rebels and Ukrainian nationalists once and for all. problem. The second is to create conditions for the arrival of new Ukrainian immigrants.

There is nothing to say about the first one. The West Ukraine region has been turbulent for too long. Before Poland occupied the region, the Ukrainian nationalists were rioting, and they are still rioting until now. In this regard, Moscow has already lost. Be patient.

According to the order issued by Moscow this time, the NKVD will organize the relocation of nearly half a million local Ukrainians in the region. Of course, if such a large number of Ukrainians move to Central Asia, they will not be placed in the same place. According to the custom of the People’s Committee, these migrants will be completely broken up, allowing them to spread to different places, so as to prevent them from forming ethnic clusters again at the migration destination.

Although this kind of large-scale ethnic migration policy is troublesome, it is very effective in suppressing local nationalist movements. Of course, this effective refers to the short-term.

In Victor's view, this forced ethnic migration policy is not the best method to effectively resolve ethnic conflicts. The best way to resolve ethnic conflicts and conflicts is a flexible ethnic integration policy that is the safest. However, in the current complex environment, the alliance does not have more time and energy to concentrate and prioritize solving such problems. After all, it is not a top priority.

As for the second purpose, it can only be regarded as Victor's guess. He considered that Moscow must have paid attention to the ethnic contradictions between Ukrainians and Poles. If you put it in the past, Moscow might not care much about this issue. After all, neither the Poles nor the nationalists in West Ukraine are fellow travelers with Moscow. Moscow is willing to stand on the sidelines of the contradictions between them.

But the current situation is obviously different. Western Ukraine has been incorporated into Ukraine, and after the war, Poland will inevitably join the position leaning towards Moscow. Under this premise, it is very necessary for Moscow to eliminate Ukrainians and There is a problem of conflicts between Poles.

So, in Galicia and Volinia, and even in the entire eastern part of Poland, the contradictions between Ukrainians and Poles have a long history, and the hatred between them has lasted for decades. , How can it be solved so easily?

For Moscow, there seems to be only one answer to this question, and that is ethnic migration—correcting the situation where Ukrainians and Poles intersect in the eastern part of Poland, including West Belarus and West Ukraine, and all Poles in the region , Moved to the eastern part of Poland, and in turn, moved all Ukrainians from the eastern part of Poland to Western Ukraine. In this way, these Ukrainians who migrated from eastern Poland just filled the part of Ukrainians who migrated from the former Western Ukraine region.

There is no doubt that the merger of these two migration plans is an unprecedented population migration plan. For this reason, the resources and energy that the alliance needs to invest are also amazing. If you do not do the preliminary work, it will be necessary. There is a big problem.

Two jeeps were galloping on the road leading to Orel, and the misty drizzle stopped when the small convoy was about to reach the city of Orel. After a while, the sun appeared in the eastern sky.

Orel should be regarded as an important town within the scope of Central Russia. During the Soviet-Russian Civil War, this was the main entrenched place for the Denikin and White Bandit. The city was captured.

During the war with Germany, the city was occupied by the Germans for 22 months. It was not successfully liberated until August last year. It was also after the liberation of Orel, Moscow had a victory in every large-scale battle. , The tradition of firing salutes, so Orel was awarded the "First Salute City" medal for this.

Compared with the chaotic West Ukraine, the security situation in Orel is not too good. Not only that, thanks to the efforts of the Orel Post-War Reconstruction Committee, the entire city has been completely removed from the war in more than a year. After the recovery, today is also the day when the Youth Cultural Palace reopened after the war in Orel. For this reason, the municipal party committee also prepared a small-scale celebration.

Two jeeps drove into the city of Orel against the early morning sun. Valenka, who came to this place for the second time, got lost shortly after entering the city, and finally had to follow another jeep. At the back, I found Turgenev Street where the People’s Committee of National Security is located.

Orel is a more interesting place. Here, the office building of the People’s Committee of National Security is on Turgenev Avenue, and the office building of the People’s Committee of the Interior is on No. 17. Both buildings are three. The buildings on the first floor are facing each other, only separated by a highway.

At present, the head of the Orel National Security People’s Committee is named Nikolai Shukevich, a Ukrainian, with the rank of National Security Lieutenant Colonel. He attaches great importance to Victor’s arrival, and even adds four guards in front of the building. For fear that this comrade chairman will have any accidents on his territory.

This is not a mere worry for Comrade Shukevich. After all, Victor had just encountered some accidents some time ago. Although he only injured his arm, it was scary enough.

In addition, although the security situation in Orel is very good, the current situation in the entire alliance is like this. After all, the war has not ended. There are certain enemy agents lurking in the alliance, waiting for opportunities to destroy, similar to Victor. The senior officials of the country, especially the senior officials of the national security department, have always been the targets these saboteurs like to choose to attack.

Before Victor was going to meet his lover on the shore of Lake Radovich, before leaving, he planned to take Varenka only, and the four soldiers in the other jeep were forced to arrange for him by Shukevich.

When Victor’s jeep was parked in front of the committee building, it happened to be at work. The stairs in front of the building seemed to be very busy with people coming and going, and across the street, in front of the building of the People’s Committee of the Interior. lively.

After getting out of the car, Victor took Varenka all the way up the stairs and went straight to the elevator in the lobby on the first floor. In order to receive him, Comrade Shukevich arranged a room for him on the third floor as a temporary office. Although he has no time to work here at all.

I took the elevator all the way to the top floor. When Victor came out of the elevator, he just stepped up the corridor and saw two people standing quietly at the door of his office.
