The second more

While Comrade Smiryev was still discussing with Comrade Makarov at the Black Sea Shipyard how to carry out the modification of the Kara-class, Yanayev had already begun preparations to visit the three Baltic countries. It was also the first time since www.biquge.info the 1991 constitutional reform that he visited the three countries that had been restless.

Although, in the eyes of the West, the Baltic events are of the same nature as the October events in Hungary and the Prague Spring. It was the Soviet Union that used violent means to invade other sovereign countries in an attempt to maintain its status as a Soviet Red Empire. But they ignore the fact that the Soviet Union is an unbreakable alliance with its member states, not between sovereign states and sovereign states. What's more, Yanayev's desperate attempt to amend the constitution made it a fantasy for the Baltic to secede from the Soviet Union.

Moreover, after the political purges and martial law of the three Baltic states, the Baltic Sea returned to its former calm. Yanayev's suppression of national independence was stronger than Stalin's, and after sending all the cadres of the pro-Western organs to Siberian coal mines to dig coal, no one dared to shout about democracy, freedom, equality and human rights anymore.

Because the next time I want to feel democracy and freedom, I will not dig coal in Siberia and send it directly to the Libyan or Iraqi theaters in the civil war. Do you want to feel the breath of democracy? Come, war-torn Damascus and Baghdad, where people are bombing all day long, and welcome to the heavens and hells of democracy.

At the very least, the Propaganda Department of the Soviet Union made a propaganda poster of the picture of the US soldiers bombing civilian areas, standing on the side of the road and accompanied by a line of small letters, "Welcome to the world of democracy, our fighter jets will present you with the flower of freedom." ”

After abandoning the Bretton Woods system, the United States has tried to use war to destabilize the Middle East in recent years, and the implementation of the plan to peg oil to the dollar has also allowed Yanayev to find a way to cut the knife behind his back.

If it wants to maintain its hegemony in oil finance, then the United States should be ready to get bogged down in the quagmire of the Iraq war. Anyway, there are hairy bears and rabbits digging graves for you, and by the way, they will send you the eternal couplets of bald eagles.

Regardless of the political purpose behind this, at least the political propaganda of the Soviet Union was not as rigid as before, but became more and more close to the people.

When Yanayev looked at these calm streets, it was already difficult to imagine that this was one of the points of concentration of contradictions that had erupted in the first place. The Soviet Union lifted martial law in the last part of the three Baltic states last year, and a five-year vigilance has finally come to an end.

"When I came to Estonia in 1991, people held signs telling me to get out of the land. When I came here in 1997, the people who shouted for me to get out of here were long gone. Yanayev said to himself, "Probably this is the change of the times, when freedom has become a fig leaf for the West, when human rights have become the body bag of the capitalists' crimes, who will want to join them in launching street politics and shouting slogans?" ”

When Yanayev walked through the capital of Estonia, it was no longer the city that had been clouded, and after the economic recovery of the three Baltic states, the calm of the past had returned, and there were no so-called calls for freedom to interfere with the progress of the Soviets.

Yanayev suddenly remembered the three Baltic leaders who sat at the negotiating table: Estonian President Arnold Rüter, Latvian Anatoly Valeryanovich Gorbunov, and Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis. With the exception of Rütel, who had recovered his freedom from the Siberian coal mines, it was difficult for the latter two to hear from them again. President George W. Bush realized that these politicians, who had no military and popular base, were not enough to support the climate that disgusted the Soviet Union. Sure enough, after a period of aid, the situation in the Baltic Sea changed so much that President Bush finally gave up the idea of continuing to provide assistance.

Giving up aid is tantamount to losing everything, and the two presidents who have lost their source of income are likely to face the end of washing the toilet in the United States.

However, Yanayev's itinerary to the Baltic Sea was somewhat strange, and the first thing he did was to visit the Amber shipyard in the company of Porokov, the head of the Soviet Navy Shipbuilding Bureau.

The Amber Shipyard was not as fortunate as the Black Sea Shipyard, but rather a bit of a bad fate. The original Black Sea Shipyard was included in Moscow's key protection for helping the Soviet Union build aircraft carriers. However, the Amber Shipyard did not have such R&D capabilities, which led to neglect and even the verge of disbandment.

So Yanayev's appearance at this time is tantamount to bringing a glimmer of light to this shipyard that is on the verge of dissolution. The director of the Amber shipyard was so shocked by Yanayev's visit that even he thought that the Soviet Union was likely to abandon the Baltic.

The whole shipyard looked unusually cold, the factory building also looked a little dilapidated, the rough brick walls had begun to show peeling mottled marks, the steel piled up in the open space outside the factory had rusted, and knee-high weeds had grown on the original concrete floor. All this seems to foreshadow the fate of the shipyard's decline.

After the lack of orders, many workers had to do other personal jobs, and even the director of the Nikolaevich factory had to sell cigarettes on the roadside to keep his family alive.

The Baltic shipyards are not the only example, in fact there were many Baltic-like shipyards throughout the Soviet Union that could not wait for the state's orders, and the workers could not open the pot. Moreover, the Baltic Sea has no orders due to the sensitive issues at the beginning, and it can only be said that the tragedy of one country led to the tragedy of the Amber shipyard.

Of course, as a teacher of a crash course in capital, in addition to taking out part of the naval orders to feed the shipyard and restart work, Yanayev is more about opening an international market for foreign trade for the amber shipyard and earning foreign exchange for the Soviet Union.

"The Baltic Fleet, the 19 Nanuchka 3rd class of the Pacific Fleet were upgraded to the standard of the Nanuchka 4th class, replacing two 2-pack SS-N-9 anti-ship missiles with 2 SD-N-26 anti-ship missiles with 6-pack SD-N-26 anti-ship missiles. Upgrades will be carried out by the Amber Shipyard and the Red Star Shipyard. Director Nikolayevich, when you hear this, do you still think that the Amber shipyard will go out of business? ”

When the director of the Nikolaevich plant heard what Yanayev said, it was somewhat incredulous. Yanayev's orders for the Amber shipyard are not large, but they are already able to alleviate the current difficult situation.

When the director of the Nikolaevich plant was ready to ask for more orders, Yanayev just shook his head and said, "Now the Soviet fleet can only carry out steady innovation, and everything must be done according to plan." If the amber shipyard is in urgent need of orders, it can take a long-term view and target foreign customers. ”

"General Secretary Yanayev, are you saying that the Amber Shipyard now builds ships not only for the country, but also for foreign armies?" Nikolaevich asked.

Yanayev asked rhetorically, "Is it possible that the Soviet Red Navy still has so much budget to add new ships?" Now shipyards must go out of the international market if they want to survive. For example, when the delegation of the Ministry of Defense of India, a partner of the Soviet Union, came to visit, it was the time to support your orders. ”

It was about the time for the Indian Navy of the Soviet Northern Design Bureau to design the Talva-class frigates, which were improved from the Krivak-class frigates and eventually handed over to the Amber Shipyard to build. The Soviet Union eventually improved its own version of the 11356R/M frigate based on the Talwa-class frigate. Just these two versions add up to a dozen frigates, which is enough to feed the Amber shipyards.

Yanayev looked at the somewhat empty Amber Shipyard and replied very affirmatively, "Believe us, Director Nikolayevich, when the Indian defense delegation visits the USSR, it will be an opportunity for our military-industrial complex to usher in a golden period of profits. At that time, almost the entire Soviet ship-building department, aircraft manufacturing department and armored combat vehicle manufacturing department will keep an eye on this group of delegations and take advantage of the opportunity, there are not many fools in these years. ”
