The third more

Yanayev's long-standing dominance of political policy has created a consensus within the Kremlin that, based on previous experience, General Secretary Yanayev must be on the right line, no matter how unbelievable the order sounds. As a result, there were dissenting voices within the CPSU who feared that Yanayev would eventually become the country's rightful leader.

Agrarian reform has always been one of the most difficult links, and although the head of the Soviet Ministry of Agriculture was removed after 1992, he also inherited the conservative style of his predecessors, which cannot be blamed, but is entirely due to the legacy of the "collective farm" model.

"We agree with General Secretary Yanaev's decision and have no opinion." The Minister of Industry did not express any opinion and fully echoed the proposals put forward by Yanayev, and they were the executors of Yanayev's policy, that is, whether the agrarian reform would eventually develop as expected was entirely in the hands of these people.

"Me too......" The others echoed Yanayev's suggestion, but were equally reluctant to say more.

But the attitude of these people, in Yanayev's view, is something to be wary of.

All the attempts of the Soviet leadership to improve the efficiency of agriculture did not go beyond the rigid management model practiced by Stalin. Agriculture became the most conservative sector of the Soviet economy, and it was not even allowed to discuss the feasibility of transferring agricultural production to the market. The government's unwillingness and intendency to implement painful but necessary market-oriented reforms in agricultural production led to the complete collapse of the Soviet agricultural consumer market in 1990-1991. The most obvious are Khrushchev's corn planting plan and Gor-Bachev's political reforms, which are completely devoid of any responsible leaders.

The integration of agricultural products with the marketization is almost Yanayev forcing this group of people to start with a knife, and the reform has never been smooth sailing, and if these people choose to go against the will of the central government, Yanayev very much hopes to use their small actions to drastically rectify the entire department.

"It's a real problem to have to ensure that I have absolute rights and at the same time worry about the corruption of the bureaucracy." Looking at these committee members with different expressions on the table, Yanayev sighed. He has broken the shackles of the old era, but a new group of vested interests is on the rise.

Yanayev was keenly aware that within politics, conservatives began to question Yanayev's position. After Stalin's death, the Soviet government's top brass decided that all their decisions should be made in the first place to ensure that there would be no strongmen, and this visceral fear led Yanayev to lead the Red Empire forward, the more their deep unease manifested itself. Although everyone obeyed Yanayev's orders, they began to worry about Yanayev's growing power.

Yanayev was dismissive of high checks and balances, as the result was that the Red Empire could only move as fast or slow as it could on its tracks, until it crashed into a boulder and then shattered. Breaking the existing pattern of interests requires a certain amount of strength, and a high degree of checks and balances is a high degree of incompetence. The current Soviet Union is not a time to stick to the rules, but needs a strong leader to lead the people out of their current predicament.

Anyone who stands in the way of Yanayev's advance will be executed on charges of Soviet traitor!

"I can't fall down now, I was still the captain of the Soviet warship before I saw Western Europe completely messed up." Yanayev said.

Ryzhkov, who was sitting next to Yanayev, noticed that the CPSU leaders were in a bad mood at the beginning of the meeting, and after the meeting, all the others dispersed, and Ryzhkov privately approached Yanayev to find out what he was planning.

"Huh? Actually, I don't have anything, Comrade Ryzhkov. "Maybe I'm just a little tired." ”

"Please take care of your health, General Secretary Yanayev." Ryzhkov said worriedly, "After all, you still have to lead the country out of the predicament." ”

Regarding Ryzhkov's concern, Yanayev nodded, "I know, Comrade Ryzhkov, I just look at some food unpleasantly, the program of agricultural reform has been planned for more than a year, but it is really unpleasant to see what those guys from the Ministry of Agriculture are doing, pedantry and rigidity are the deadliest threats to hinder a government department, seeing the way these people look now, I feel that what I was strongly opposed to back then has returned." Now they are also becoming a stone blocking the way to the development of reform. ”

Ryzhkov was taken aback by what Yanayev said, and he subconsciously said, "General Secretary Yanayev ......"

"I know what you want to say, Comrade Ryzhkov." Yanayev stood up and waited until everyone had walked out of the office before he said to Ryzhkov in a heartfelt manner, "You want to say that we still need to be patient until we get all this done, right?" ”

"Reform is a deep-water area, and it cannot be achieved overnight, so we have revised our policies in light of the painful lessons of history to prevent the recurrence of tragedy. But no matter how much we guard against it, there is one thing that cannot be guarded against, and that is interests and people's hearts. It is very realistic that the beneficiaries of the reform will become new interest groups, and when they become a stumbling block to the arrival of a new era, they will also be kicked away by the reformers who come after them. ”

"But the most important thing now is to secure this important agricultural reform, and to clean up these guys after the final reforms have been completed. But if they don't follow the route we've planned, then even the Minister of Agriculture, I'll make him a prisoner tomorrow. These people had better be aware that my temper is not good, and there are even some bad things, and the hardest thing to tolerate is that others do some small actions behind my back that I look down on. ”

When Yanayev said this, the whole aura became very terrifying. It is only when it stands in the way of his political and economic reforms that he will show a determined look of removing all obstacles. It is at this moment that he will be reminded of Comrade Stalin, who issued the order for the Great Purge.

"Those who stand in the way of perestroika will be crushed to pieces like stones blocking the advance of the Soviets! As always, I will carry out the great plan of reviving the Soviets, and no one can stop me, absolutely nothing! (To be continued.) )
