The third more

The previous Soviet constitution stipulated that the member states had the right to freely withdraw from the Soviet Union, but Yanayev ruthlessly deprived them of the right to amend the constitution, and the rights of the three countries with a veto were also vetoed by Yanayev. And now Yanayev has extended his claws to other member states.

The right to enter into diplomatic relations with foreign states, to conclude treaties with foreign states and to exchange diplomatic and consular representatives, as well as to participate in international organizations and to have their own territory and citizenship were vetoed by the Moscow Government. Such a big move is an iron-hearted attempt to make the member states a loyal part of an unbreakable alliance, rather than a country that could split up at any time. Yanayev also has a definite purpose, while reducing political rights, strengthening the economic rights of the major member states, and turning the member states into a special region based on the model of the special region, making it an inseparable vassal of Moscow.

Of course, this was met with opposition from almost the overwhelming majority of the political-political comrades, who rushed to Moscow from the capitals of the member states in an attempt to stop Yanayev's decision.

"First Secretary of the Communist Party of Lithuania Brodiavichus, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine Gulenko, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan Karimov, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Moldavia Luchinsky, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Kyrgyz Masaliyev, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Tajikistan Makhkamov, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Armenia New Movsixiang, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan Mutalibov, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan Nazarbayev, Even the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia Polozkov. Almost all the members of the Political Bureau arrived. Pavlov worriedly read out the names on the list, all of whom had come for Yanayev's policy and as if Moscow owed me an explanation.

The chairman of the Council of Ministers, Ryzhkov, who was standing beside him, also whispered advice to Yanayev. "Listen to my advice. General Secretary Yanaev. It's still too late for us to quit. While the incident did not reach the point of no return. Such a policy has shaken the cheese of too many people, and they will even unite against the Moscow center, and then we will face no less than a terrible crisis. This is a worse problem than the independence of the three Baltic states, or the unrest in Georgia and Azerbaijan. ”

"Comrade Ryzhkov, I would like to ask you a question, has everything I done wrong since I took over Gorba-Chev's position in 1991? Or am I like Gor-Ba-Chev, a fool who led the USSR into the abyss from which it will never recover? Do I have one? ”

Ryzhkov shook his head. "Every decision made by the general secretary is wise and great, and there has never been a trace of error, but ......"

(WeChat-Xingong-Public Account: Yanayev, a new story has been serialized)

"That's right." Yanayev interrupted Ryzhkov, "It's nothing, but, since every step was right at the beginning, then the step I made was also correct." It's just that you don't understand my plan, and change often leads to bloody processes, and a revolution for the sake of more people often hangs a small number of people on the gallows. This was confirmed in the Stalin era. ”

Ryzhkov thought to himself that it was not just a small number of people who were hanged in the Stalin era. Of course, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't be angry and ridiculous. One could only turn his head and turn to Pavlov for help. Who knew that the other party only shook his head with a little regret, saying that he couldn't convince the other party of what Yanayev decided now.

Yanayev stretched out his hand to interrupt Ryzhkov and Pavlov's speeches, he made a silent gesture, and then stood up from his seat, "Regarding the noisy first secretaries of the communist parties of the member countries, I have already felt their dissatisfaction from the office, and this time I will personally come forward to persuade them, and if you can be reasonable, try to reason with them." Those who are unwilling to be reasonable have no choice but to resort to tough measures to make this group of people submit. ”

Finally, Yanayev turned back and said, "At least I want to make it clear to this group of people that everything I do, without the slightest bit of selfishness, is all for the country." Even if everyone disagrees with my approach now, in the future, they will know that I have good intentions at this moment. ”

Speaking of this, Yanayev suddenly said with some self-deprecation, "My efforts are destined to be understood by no one, and I hope that my vision will last forever." ”

Ryzhkov looked at Yanayev's distant back, and for the first time felt how helpless and silent this supreme leader was at the moment.

There was already a lot of noise in the conference room, and it was unbearable for Moscow to directly use such a crude means to revoke the policy of the member states without consulting them, or even without a single notice, and they believed that what Yanayev had done was creating antagonism and estrangement between the regions of the member states and the Soviet government, and if this continued, the trust that had been accumulated in the past three years would disappear with the implementation of this policy.

"This stupidity must be stopped, and we must not allow communism to lose popular support among the member states." After returning to power in Ukraine, Gulenko began to adopt a policy of combining hardness and softness, improving relations with the democrats on the one hand, and vigorously suppressing other parties that tried to seize power. In Gulenko's words, I allow you to oversee my rule, but you are absolutely not allowed to usurp my position.

He fears that Yanayev's move will create a fair and honest reason for national factions to raise the banner of separatism and independence and provoke a civil war in Ukraine, which is the last thing he wants to see.

As soon as Gulenko's words fell, Yanayev appeared in everyone's sight, and the originally noisy conference room fell silent, and the first secretaries of the Communist Parties of the various member states were waiting for Yanayev's explanation.

However, Yanayev did not make a long speech when he came up, but looked at everyone in silence, and the quieter he did not speak, the more panicked the others felt. Yanayev's silence had an invisible pressure that weighed on everyone's hearts, leaving them feeling breathless. The atmosphere froze, and the secretaries looked at each other, not knowing what Yanayev was going to do. It wasn't until the long silence of nearly a minute had ended that he began to speak.

"Are you all done? Are you done with the discussion? If that's all that's done, I think it's time for me to say a few words. Lest you mistakenly think that the central authorities are so arrogant that they are stingy with even an explanation. ”

"We just want to know if the General Secretary really wants to do this, depriving the member states of the decision as a sovereign state. This is a disguised declaration of war on all the member states, who believe that the Soviet Union has deprived them of their right to independence, and now they are going to deprive them of their decision to be a sovereign state. When the time comes, a series of problems will not be so easy to solve. ”

Karimov was most excited, and what kind of backlash would be triggered by such a simple one-size-fits-all policy, given that Uzbekistan has a complex ethnic and religious component? He didn't dare to speculate. But what is certain is that Yanayev's actions in the Chechen region have caused panic among the believers of the Torn Church in the Union States, who believe that Yanayev, like Stalin, is also a religious persecutor. Although the news media have declared that such an honorable and great migration mission belongs only to the Wahhabi and other factions of the ripped retro movement, and other secular factions are joining in the fun, what are you to do? But those who believe in real pigs have a little timidity in their eyes when they see Yanayev.

"All the questions are asked one after the other." Yanayev used a gesture to stop the other secretaries who wanted to rush to speak, and began to answer Karimov's question, "This plan has been deployed for a long time, and even before 1991, when Gor Ba Chev was in power, I began to think about how to reduce the rights of the member states. The great change that you are witnessing today is nothing but a small step of sand into a tower. ”

Everyone else was stunned, if Yanayev had been plotting since before 1991, how did he calculate that he could get to where he is today and give orders?

"Army, comrades. While you are worried about the handful of rebels, do not forget that the Soviets still have a large army as a reserve to support you, and Moscow is with you! (To be continued.) )
