The second more

Comrade Putin, who took a special plane, could be regarded as coming from Moscow with love to inspect this terrible purgatory in the eyes of religious fanatics. Even some of the remnants of extremism in the Caucasus hope to save the suffering people of the city. Provided that they don't get lost in the vast Siberian wilderness and find this almost isolated city.

But Yanayev's labor camp was already a rare paradise in the eyes of non-believers. Have you ever seen a concentration camp that was willing to serve a high-protein delicacy like pork? If you call this kind of treatment persecution, then you are really sorry, you love to eat, and if you don't eat, you will starve to death here. We have never accommodated your beliefs and traditions, because this is the Soviets, and the small group of people who are not willing to obey the people's choice can choose to get out of this country.

The Soviets would have given two options to any destabilizing factor that endangered national security, either to accept the re-education through labor or to inflict the most brutal blows.

After arriving at the airport built by the Komsomol border town, Putin-Putin met with the city's de facto administrator, Colonel Melchevsky, a hard-liner from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who also practiced a hard-line style in the militarized city, and anyone who violated the Central Committee's Decree No. 31 was labeled a suspect of religious extremism.

"Comrade Vladimir, it's a pleasure to see you here." When Prussia got off the plane, Melchevsky was already waiting for the other party's arrival, he warmly hugged Comrade Prussia, who was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then couldn't wait to take him to visit the great city he managed.

The colonel, who had come from the KGB with Putin, seemed very satisfied with his current job, and he constantly told Putin, "Oh, my Comrade Vladimir, you don't know how difficult it is to manage these guys who would rather starve themselves than accept the food we offer. You know, their current standard of living is average in Moscow. Giving up their lives for the sake of ridiculous beliefs, I really don't understand what these people are thinking. For a future? Let women veil and let men have the absolute right to control women. With all due respect, this is not a bright future, but a step backwards in history. ”

"They are just trying to satisfy part of their own selfish desires, and our country is going to rid the land of such moths." Comrade Pujing said with a smile, "I heard that you forced them to eat pork with a bayonet. Is this true? ”

"Moscow also knows?" Melchevsky whispered, "Will they bring me to court-martials for crimes against humanity?" ”

Seeing Melchevsky's nervous expression, Pujing patted the other party's shoulder and motioned for the other party to relax, "My friend, now the Politburo is very satisfied with your approach, and General Secretary Yanayev even encouraged him when he heard about your approach, 'This is the way to deal with these people.'" ”

The city was silent and deserted even in broad daylight, and soldiers patrolling back and forth with wolfdogs could always be seen on the streets. Thick concrete walls and firepower outposts make the city look more like a prison. However, combined with the fact that Melchevsky was an interrogator during his time in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is clear why the city was designed the way it was.

"It will not be easy to destroy their spirit and will, Comrade Melchevsky. Their spiritual backbone has lasted for thousands of years, and it is not easy to force them to convert in a short period of time. ”

Melchevsky said disdainfully, "Have you forgotten?" Comrade Putin, what we are best at is conducting political education in the style of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the enemy! ”

Follow Melchevsky into his office. Just as Putin's seat was sitting down, Melchevsky turned around and asked. "What kind of politicians are coming from the central side? Although I don't know what Moscow is thinking, I think that when the Minister of Internal Affairs personally appears, it must be a very important thing. ”

"That's right." Comrade Vladimir smiled and said, "The Central Committee decided to open up animal husbandry here, so that these city dwellers can raise pigs." ”

"Pig farming?" Melchevsky's eyes widened, as if Pin was telling a joke. He emphasized the other side's answer, "You mean to have a group of people with a deep aversion to pigs raise pigs?" Comrade Vladimir, do you know how much effort it took me to get them to accept such a tasty food as pork? You still want them to raise pigs??? ”

"Yes, pig farming. This is an order from the Central Committee, oh, Comrade Melchevsky. You have no order to refuse. Pin patted Melchevsky, an old friend, on the shoulder, "and I will be here to supervise the implementation of the new treaty added to Decree No. 31 before I leave the Komsomol border town." So please don't let me down. And the Politburo is very optimistic about this operation, and if it succeeds, we will promote it in the Caucasus, so that all believers will understand that one thing is more worthy of respect than the God they respect, and that is the Soviet government. ”

Putin's tough tone did not give Colonel Melchevsky the right to refuse.

"I have a hunch." For the first time, Melchevsky expressed a look of frustration, "The orders of the central government may not be so easy to implement and promote, and eating pork is already a fatal choice for them." And you're still letting them raise pigs? ”

Forcing the other side to change their religion starts with their daily behavior, not just shouting a few slogans of peaceful coexistence, without a strong hand and an equally tough state as a background, although Melchevsky has both, he always has a sense of foreboding.

"There is no right of refusal in the Soviets, especially against our will." Comrade Pu Jing said, "Come on, let's see your army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

Pujing did not say that he would visit the city, but that he would first visit the troops, which shows that he paid more attention to the security situation in the border cities of the Communist Youth League than the situation of the city residents.

Melchevsky took Pputin on a tour of the guard camp. This barracks, with 3,000 soldiers, is a sharp sword for defending and maintaining order and stability in the Komsomol City. The guard battalion, armed with Mi-8 helicopters and BMP infantry combat vehicles, actually has the strength of regular troops.

The Moscow Politburo never underestimated the destructive power of these religious believers, and it was necessary for them to believe that in the event of instability in the country, it was the damned religious people who would be the first to start a rebellion, except Georgia.

"The inhabitants of the border towns of the Komsomol were to work for ten hours a day, with a two-hour rest in between, and a curfew was imposed at night, and no one was allowed to go out on the streets. If they are found out, they will be caught in confinement, and of course, no one is allowed to violate the rules and regulations of Decree 31, and the consequences of disobedience are harsh, for which we have executed more than 40 people who have seriously violated Decree 31. ”

"After about two months of stability, the situation has stabilized, and although these people are resistant, they are slowly adapting to our style. It can be said unceremoniously that the detention camp has suppressed all unstable factors with the strongest force. ”

"Very tough style." Comrade Putin's approach was very much appreciated by Melchevsky, and sure enough, his old friend was able to do such a scavenger job. If the Komsomol border city approach succeeds, then Moscow should start to attack all the religious forces in the country, especially the member autonomous regions, which are still in a delicate state.

"Well, I have one last question."

Melchevsky, who was walking in the snow, stopped his steps and asked his old friend with a serious expression, "Now that you have some understanding of the situation in the border towns of the Komsomol, do we really want to carry out this order, which is likely to cause unrest again?" ”

"It's very necessary." Pu Jing replied calmly. (To be continued.) )
