"Comrade Secretary, I'm fine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you don't have to worry about me. Irina choked up.

Manturov was a very curious man and would get to the bottom of anything he was interested in until he found the final answer. "Nothing? Then why are you crying? Is it too stressful to work? If that's the case, then you go back and help Katyusha, and I'll give Anna a few days off and ask another secretary to help. ”

Irina shook her head and dismissed Manturov's speculation, but she didn't say why, as if there was something unspeakable that she couldn't say.

"Irina, if you have a problem, just say it. If you hold it in your heart, who will know your difficulties? Who will help you? ”

"Comrade Manturov, you don't have to worry about me. I can solve these difficulties by myself, and I guarantee that it will not affect my work performance and work attitude. Irina plans to dismiss her boss with the fact that it will not affect her work performance, but she doesn't know that her boss has a good habit of "caring for cadres".

"I'm not worried about your performance and attitude." Manturov revealed the characteristic of "caring for the mind (many) and doing (leisure) departments," but if you continue like this, it will have a negative impact on your mental health and physical health. If you have any difficulties, speak up and address them as soon as possible.

Don't keep these questions to yourself, your family, and your friends. So, speak up as soon as possible and don't hold back the questions. ”

"Family? I envy you who have families. Before he knew it, Manturov had led Irina to the question and pried her mouth open.

"What about your parents?"

"Parents? Comrade Stalin is my father, and Comrade Aliluyeva is my mother. ”

Envy someone with a family? Stalin was her father? Speaking of which, Manturov probably already understood what was happening. From these two points, he felt that Irina, like himself, had lost her parents, and now she thought of them, so she cried.

"Comrade, don't cry, I, like you, have lost my parents. My father died on the battlefield when I was almost 4 years old, and my mother died when I was 18 years old. Manturov comforted.

However, things are not as simple as Manturov thought. Because Katia's evaluation of the secretary was too good, Manturov was too relieved of Irina, and made the decision to swap secretaries without reading Irina's personal file.

After that, he was too busy with work, and his energy was focused on farming, and he didn't check the information of the newcomers, and he didn't know the life experience and family background of Irina, the personal secretary, so he didn't know this.

"Comrade Secretary, I really envy you who know that your parents are dead or alive. I don't even know if my biological parents are dead or alive now, and I almost forgot their names. ”

"What? It seems that China's communication technology needs to be improved. Manturov was a little surprised, how could he not know the life and death of his parents in this era when communication was relatively developed? How could you almost forget the names of your biological parents?

Besides, there is another piece of "patronymic" in the Russian name, which is the part of the whole name that is "what na/what vic", and it is impossible to forget the father's name.

"No, Comrade Secretary, this has nothing to do with communication technology."

"What's the reason for that?" Manturov asked.

"Nothing." At this point, Irina didn't want to go any further. She feared that if she had told these secrets, Manturov would send her to the Gulagri the next day.

"Say it, you won't get pregnant." Manturov uttered such a semi-provocative remark in a serious tone.

"But...... It's really...... It's nothing. ”

At this time, Manturov had already realized that Irina might not have a very revolutionary background, so he did not dare to say this in front of the secretary of the state party committee, fearing that he would be expelled from the party or even arrested. "Say, I won't expel you from the party, let alone arrest you."

In fact, it is not uncommon for people to be expelled from the party because of their background, and since the beginning of the Great Purge, many local party organizations across the country have begun to purge these "enemies of the people" from the organization, including priests, former tsarist officers, kulaks, and the children of purged cadres.

At that time, when Manturov was still the secretary of the Communist Youth League, he was also instructed by Ekh, the former secretary of the district committee of the West Siberian Territory (the predecessor of the Novosibirsk region), to clear out more than 20 members of the Komsomol who were not revolutionary, but had no problems with their behavior and ideology.

But later, after Ekh was purged, Manturov brought back the twenty-odd men, restored them to their reputations, and arranged them with relatively light jobs as compensation for their own mistakes.

"Are you really not going to expel me from the party?" Before telling the truth, Irina also has to make sure that she is not expelled.

"No, I won't expel you from the party because of your tragedy, I will do what I say."

"Really?"

Manturov affirmed: "Really. Does my Vladimir Manturov seem like a man without credit? ”

"Then I said it, I hope you won't pursue me."

"Don't worry, I won't pursue you."

"Actually, my father was a former officer in the White Army, who served for Kolchak, and was later captured by the Red Army in Omsk, and soon joined the Red Army and became a brigade commander. On my 17th birthday, though...... Several...... ...... of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Comrade came to my house and took my parents with him...... Take. The situation that Irina recounts was not uncommon during the Great Purge.

In the Moscow Riverside Street apartments, similar situations happen almost every day, tearing apart countless happy families. For the children of purged officials, the Ministry of the Interior will choose different methods depending on their age.

The younger, only a few years old, would be sent by the Ministry of the Interior to some monasteries (the original monasteries were used as transit stations for orphans) and then assigned to orphanages in other places; Those who are a little older are exiled to their designated places of residence and live a hard life.

Life in exile was hard, but the children who were sent to the orphanage were not much better. Not only are they discriminated against by the staff and other orphans, they are denied decent food, they live in poor conditions, and their living conditions are not much better than those of their parents in Gula camp.

"And then, you were exiled here by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Manturov guessed.

"Yes. I was sent to Novosibirsk by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as my designated place of residence. ”

Irina was only seventeen or eighteen years old when she was exiled, she was not very old, her physical condition was not very good, and she had no relatives and no reason. In Manturov's opinion, it was not easy for her to survive in Novosibirsk, a predominantly industrial and agricultural region.

First of all, if she wants to survive without relatives and no reason, she must have a stable income. But her constitution was too poor, she had not received any professional training, and she had no experience in industry and agriculture, so she could not work in factories or collective farms.

Moreover, she also had the background of being an "enemy of the people", and at that time, that is, during the reign of Ehe, it was impossible for her to work in the party organization and the Communist Youth League organization.

She has not finished her studies, and she is not qualified to work as a clerical worker in a local company, so how has she survived in the past few years?
