Struggle in Soviet Russia

When road and rail transportation failed to return to normal, Lake Onega entered a freezing period, which meant that the waterway transportation that the entire Karelia region could rely on was officially suspended. Therefore, it is possible to It is foreseeable that even if the Consumer Goods and Residential Services Commission has enough supplies on hand, it will be difficult to distribute them to major cities in a short period of time.

With these thoughts in mind, Viktor took his eyes back from the frozen Lake Onega, swept around the crowd who followed him up the ridgeline, and found the position of Comrade Vitaly Andrianov. Sure enough, The seasoned old comrade frowned, of course he knew how difficult the job was.

The cold wave came suddenly, and there was not much time left for the relevant departments. In order to distribute the materials before the snowstorm, Comrade Andrianov, as the chairman of the Karelia Consumer Goods and Resident Services Committee, can use it at his hands. The time, at most, is one day today and one day tomorrow.

In these two days, he needs to raise enough supplies and enough trucks to transport them. If he can't do this, then the day after tomorrow, or even tomorrow afternoon, Blizzard will make the whole The delivery of materials in Karelia has come to a standstill. At that time, once a person freezes to death anywhere, he will have to take certain political responsibility.

Viktor didn't know if there was any conflict between Verolainen and Andrianov, but at such a time, Verolainen, as the chairman of the People's Committee, left all the work and responsibility to Andrianov. Humans are obviously not very authentic. The most important thing is that, according to what he did, the Consumer Goods and Residential Services Committee led by Andrianov would probably not be able to complete their tasks. Let the residents of several major cities in the Karelia region bear the losses.

Victor may be young and inexperienced in political struggles, but he is not a fool. He still has some basic problems and the means to deal with them.

"This cold wave came suddenly," Viktor said directly after Verolainen's remarks, without giving Andrianov a chance to speak, "We don't have so much time to do things more prudently and comprehensively. preparations, and of course, the Consumer Goods and Residential Services Commission cannot be relied upon to solve all the problems."

In one sentence, Verolainen's opinion was directly rejected, and Viktor continued: "My opinion is that the Central Committee should immediately issue an order requiring the Forestry Committee and the Ministry of Timber Industry to coordinate and organize the work, focusing on several major cities. In addition, the Ministry of Chemical and Petroleum Processing Industry, the Consumer Goods and Residents Service Commission, and the Ministry of Coal Industry jointly guide the action to ensure that in the case of insufficient supply of wood, the Corresponding substitutes to supplement the heating needs of urban residents.”

"For the specific work, the People's Committee can hurry up to discuss it and come up with an appropriate plan," turning his eyes to Verolainen, Victor finally said, "It's just right, there are more people coming, my suggestion is that you can Here comes a basic plan and implement it immediately."

Throwing the main work responsibility directly to Verolainen's head again, Victor made such a suggestion, turned around and left.

The words have been made very clear, Viktor does not agree to put the main responsibility for the work on Andrianov alone, and his objection is not an unreasonable objection, on the contrary, he gives guidance to solve the problem The opinion is that the timber materials to solve the heating problem do not need to be allocated uniformly by the Consumer Goods and Residential Services Commission, but are solved by the major cities themselves.

The Forest Commission mentioned by Victor is the department of the Alliance that is specifically responsible for forest protection. Without the permission of this department and the timber industry, private deforestation is illegal. Therefore, Victor's opinion is actually a request for special cases to be handled. At the juncture of the snow disaster, the forest logging authority was temporarily released, and localities could solve the problem of logging and obtaining materials on their own.

Of course, to take out this authority, someone must be responsible. After all, the Karelian-Finnish Soviet Republic still has to accept the leadership of Moscow, and things like forests and minerals are state-owned resources after all. With the permission of the relevant departments in Moscow, Viktor delegated the authority, and he, the first secretary, had to take responsibility.

Therefore, the suggestion given by Victor is actually very fair. Everyone, including himself, should take their own part of the responsibility. He asked Verolainen to organize discussions here on behalf of the People's Committee and come up with a plan directly. It's not a joke. If the latter is slick and drags the work out, then he really dares to directly put the people The work of the committee was also handed over, and Verolainen went to play in the mud on his own.

Within the Union, Comrade Khrushchev, as the first secretary of the Central Committee of Ukraine, also serves as the chairman of the Ukrainian People's Committee; Comrade Ponomarenko, as the first secretary of the Belarusian Central Committee, also serves as the chairman of the Belarusian People's Committee. As the first secretary of the Moscow Oblast, Comrade Popov presided over the government affairs of the Moscow Oblast... Why can't Viktor be the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Karelian-Finnish Soviet Republic identity, concurrently serving as the chairman of the People's Committee of the Republic?

To be honest, Viktor knew very well what Verolainen came from. If he really wanted to squeeze this guy out through the Moscow channel and take up the other party's existing position himself, it would not be impossible for him to do it. , at least in the eyes of Comrade Stalin, Verolainen is a little transparent.

But Viktor knew very well that he couldn't stay in the Karelian-Finnish Soviet Republic for too long, and he didn't want to stay here too long, it would only affect his own development, so from the heart, he also I don't want to mess with too many things.

The current situation is that he is the first secretary in the Karelia region, and maybe a year, maybe two years later, Moscow will transfer him to another place and continue to serve as the first secretary. However, if he also assumes the position of chairman of the Karelia People's Committee while serving as the first secretary, then when he is about to be transferred, if Moscow does not want to arrange a centralized party government in the Karelia region. A person with great power, then two people must be arranged to take his place... and this extra person is likely to be a variable.

Victor doesn't like variables. He likes to follow steps. After all, his age has an absolute advantage. Therefore, for a young cadre who has already reached a high position, it is most suitable and in his interests to follow the steps.

Walking down the gentle **** on the other side of the ridgeline, Victor returned to his Volga. Standing beside the door, he rubbed his frozen hands before turning his head to look at the top of the hill.

At this time, on the top of the hill, the cadres who came out with him for the inspection were still discussing the problem together. If nothing else, Verolainen did not intend to fall out with him, the first secretary. Therefore, according to Victor's request just now, they must come up with a proper plan here, and this reality also makes Victor quite satisfied. If there is a chance to maintain a harmonious relationship, he does not want to fall out with anyone. After all, the pair He doesn't do any good either.

After confirming that his opinion had been accepted, Victor returned to the car with peace of mind. He believed that as long as the People's Committee could come up with a concrete and feasible plan and quickly convey the order, including Petrozavodsk, Several major cities in the Karelia region will not have any trouble. Yes, never doubt the efficiency of the alliance administrative system. The ban is the most basic feature of this system, at least in this day and age.

No one thought that the winter of four or five years would come so early and so ferocious. When it just entered November, it was not only the plains of Eastern Europe that were affected by the cold wave, the east and west foothills of the Ural Mountains, all the way to Siberia, Even in the Magadan region, the cold wave is a basin of water splashed on the earth's arctic region. From the extreme north to the south, the entire northern hemisphere has been affected.

As Karelia responded urgently, opening up its forests, which are national assets, to the public, almost the entire European region was plunged into disaster.

In Germany, which has just ended the war for less than half a year, and Berlin, which has been occupied by the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France, the food that the German people saved for food and frugality was finally exhausted in the winter season. Therefore, in the bitter cold weather Here, the whole of Berlin has become a region.

The smoke of the war has not completely cooled down, and the national hatred caused by the war is naturally far from being eliminated. Therefore, in the Soviet-occupied area, the management committee does not think that it has the responsibility to prepare food rations for the Germans, but even so, based on human nature and morality. Considering that there are still people trying to stand up and do something for the Germans, more than half of the 615 military garrisoned institutions of the Soviet army stationed in Germany provided a certain amount of food to the local German residents.

Of course, in the propaganda of Western countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, this phenomenon does not exist. How could the Soviet people have kindness? Only the Anglo-Saxons are angels. For example, in order to feed the hungry stomachs of the Germans, a large number of American soldiers smuggled a large number of "Lucky" cigarettes from the United States and replaced them with cigarettes in the occupied areas of Britain, France and the United States. the currency of the Deutsche Mark.
