The second more

KGB Chairman Kryuchkov is reporting to Yanayev on recent political developments in Georgia, an alternative version of the "Balkans" in the Caucasus, where the intricacies of ethnic policy are a headache for any Soviet leader. During the time of Stalin, the hard-handed policy of his loving father had always overwhelmed the Caucasus peoples who were trying to establish an independent state, and even the Chechens were forced into exile in Central Asia and became "the Soviet version of the Gypsies". The leaders after Khrushchev showed a trend of being inferior to one term, and the increasingly indulgent attitude led to the rise of the wave of division in the member states after 1989.

Yanayev naturally would not let this kind of thing happen, so those areas with complex and sensitive ethnic relations became the focus of Yanayev's attention, and even authorized the KGB to go beyond the legal boundaries, and once the other party is defined as a terrorist by conclusive evidence, it can directly bypass the legal means to torture its intelligence.

So in the politically repressive Caucasus, the KGB is a symbol of ghosts and demons. No one knows if these harmless faces hiding in the crowd will become terrible enemies armed with silenced pistols in the next moment.

"What is the situation with the nationalities of the Caucasus, especially in the Georgian constituent states, lately?" Yanayev asked as he flipped through the report. As indifferent as a casual question.

Kryuchkov did not dare to answer Yanayev's seemingly casual question, and he took out a thick report from his bosom, which was prepared in great detail. The organization was then briefed in the briefest possible terms on the situation in Georgia so far.

"The local faction in the Georgian government is gradually rising, which is more of a headache than the pineapple sea of the three countries. They form a dominant view internally. That is, the Soviet government must give them more rights. Can command armies. Policies can be made. The old fox Shushkevich is much quieter, fanning the flames by the less talkative vice-leadership faction of some member countries. ”

Hearing this, Yanayev sneered, "If Shushkevich, the supreme secretary of the Georgian Soviet, is really loyal to the Soviets, he will start strangling these 'heretic' remarks as soon as possible." What does the delay mean? It shows that this old fox is waiting to see whether the Soviet government will strangle these people, and whether the nativist faction can develop into a faction that will cause unrest in the union countries again. If it is really to be suppressed, Shushkevich will not be popular with the people. So the old fox, who is accustomed to holding two good hands, likes to gamble, and likes to gamble my patience with his future and life. ”

Kryuchkov did not dare to speculate on Yanayev's mind. As with some of the KGB's important powers, he would rather swallow his anger than confront a man whose merits rivaled that of Peter the Great.

"I can arrange for the KGB to arrest those guys and detain them for 10 days and half a month, so that they know what is going on politically incorrectly." Although Kryuchkov's power at home weakened, but his privileges in the Caucasus increased, Yanayev tried to keep the KGB in a special balance, both so that it did not pose a threat to him, and that the KGB maintained the efficiency of the efficient butcher, and that it was best for them to spy on the Caucasus.

"How is it possible for a group of guys who regard the belief in national independence as a spiritual pursuit to eliminate hatred because of ten days and a half months of detention? The means of fear will one day lose their effectiveness, and what we need is a way to get them to surrender more. Yanayev flipped through Kryuchkov's report. While explaining to him.

"Comrade Kryuchkov is good at stratagem, but some problems cannot be improved by a short period of repression. It's just going to add more questions. The relaxation of national policy that began in the Khrushchev era, coupled with Gor-Bachev's indulgence, while temporarily suppressed all agitation by high-handed means, the results were much worse in the long run. ”

"What was the final outcome of Tito's suppression of Greater Serbian doctrine in Yugoslavia?" Yanayev slowly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

The crackdown on Grand Serviism throughout Tito's time was severe, and its effects continued until the 70s, when 40,000 Serb cadres were purged. Rankovic, one of the core of the five-member leadership of the Yugoslav Communist Party, was ousted by Tito because of Serb nationalism. While suppressing the demographic and economically powerful Serb ethnic group, it has taken care of and favoured other ethnic groups with smaller populations, respecting regional ethnic autonomy and the right of peoples to self-determination. Kovic, one of the core leaders of the five members of the Communist Party of South Africa, was ousted by Tito because of Greater Serbianism. While suppressing the demographic and economically powerful Serbs, it takes care of and gives preference to other ethnic groups with smaller populations, and respects regional national autonomy and the right of peoples to self-determination.

Later, Yugoslavia was torn apart by a group of Catholics and torn clothes, and Tito was also the culprit hiding behind it.

"Of course, I also suppressed Great Russian chauvinism, but these people deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb." Yanayev will never do favoritism like Tito, and he wants to suppress and suppress together, not to mention that you want to have a Great Russianism and someone else to have a nationalism.

Kryuchkov was already in a cold sweat when he heard this, not because of Yanayev's words, but because the person in front of him saw through all the keen eyes at all times, as if he was the soul of the KGB.

"I had conceived of taming the wild fellows of the member states by gentle means, but they did not seem to accept my gifts. I've given them a more enlightened economic policy, but I want more from me. Especially Georgia, I'm disappointed right now. ”

The gray-haired Kryuchkov had to prick up his ears and listen carefully to every word that Yanayev said next.

"You instruct the KGB agencies in Georgia to continue to deliberately indulge the national separatist forces of the Georgians." Yanayev said quietly.

"It's ...... Ready to uproot the forces behind it? Kryuchkov asked cautiously.

Yanayev glanced at Kryuchkov, closed the last page of the detailed report, and said with a smile, "We need to provide an executable excuse for a grand execution and massacre in Georgia, if the Georgians do not rebel, do we have a justifiable reason and opportunity?" (To be continued.) )
