Chapter 47: Arrest

With Manturov's permission, Dmitry took a dozen low-level cadres with knowledge and went to the city bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to provide Yakov with evidence of Dubov's participation in the anti-Soviet conspiracy and violation of party discipline. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, the fact that he brought Manturov to his house the day before was not a simple coincidence, but a conspiracy.

These cadres seeking self-preservation have long been dissatisfied with Dubov's indiscriminate killing of innocents and do not want to be purged for no reason. They were loyal to the party, and they were not accustomed to Dubov's involvement in the anti-Soviet conspiracy.

However, when Ekh was in office, Dubov had a lot of power at the local level, and Nikitin, the head of the city's Ministry of Internal Affairs, also worked closely with him, and at the same time sent people to monitor all those who might threaten Dubov, and these cadres did not dare to go to Moscow to denounce Dubov and others. Even if you denounce it, it's useless?

Why? At that time, Ekh's power was still very large, and Yezhov was behind him, even if Ekh, Dubov and others were denounced and the case was handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was only himself who would be purged in the end.

So why did Manturov dare to denounce Ekh? Because he knew that by 1937 there had been some contradictions between Yezhov and Ekh, and some disputes had arisen within the anti-Bolshevik group, which began to pass on potential culpability to each other.

At this time, Manturov did Yezhov a great favor by providing him with evidence of Ekh's involvement in the activities of the → faction. Ehe was soon arrested by members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and other members of the state party committee were also involved and taken away for investigation. Manturov, the only innocent party leader in the region, began to act as the first secretary of the state party committee.

Although Manturov became secretary of the state party committee and Ekh was purged, his comrades in Tomsk and Kemerovo were still not completely purged.

After his arrest, Ekh confessed to the entire Novosibirsk Oblast Party Committee and the entire Municipal Party Committee, but only the former First Secretary of the Tomsk Municipal Party Committee in Tomsk.

As a result, the former first secretary of the Tomsk city party committee was quickly arrested, and Dubov, as the second secretary, took over the position of first secretary of the city party committee, and has been fine ever since.

After sitting upright, although Dubov was considered safe, he still felt that he would be reported, so he ordered the city bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to strengthen the supervision of the cadres of the municipal and municipal party committees, and even randomly checked their letters, so as to tighten the news.

As soon as something happens, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to the door, so no one has dared to report him, because there is no chance to report it at all.

But Dubov missed a point, and some people in the know, who were purged during the Ekh era, were released one after another after Manturov took office, including Suyev, who reported Dubov.

It was not until the day before Manturov left Tomsk that the local newspaper in Tomsk began to report the news of the visit of the secretary of the regional party committee, and Dmitry and other cadres who knew about it immediately found an opportunity to report it.

They found an opportunity to get together, had a meeting, and finally decided that Dmitry would take action, looking for an opportunity to approach Manturov and explain everything to him.

Why look for Manturov? Because everyone knows that he is the main force in the defeat of Eher, and he has the most power in the state.

They had planned for Dmitry to follow Manturov during the day, and to find an opportunity to explain everything to him during meals or inspections. However, on the same day, Dmitry was given a short notice to work overtime in the city hall and could not go anywhere.

In the evening, he planned to look for him in Manturov's hotel while Dubov was away, but Manturov came out again after eating and argued in the direction of his house, so he followed Manturov and appeared when he walked to the opposite side of his house, creating the illusion of a chance encounter.

And then take this "chance" opportunity to report Dubov to Manturov. As Dmitry expected, Manturov listened to all this, but in the process of listening, he did not show any surprise at all. It seems that these things have been known for a long time.

………………

In the afternoon, at the Tomsk-1 railway station, Dubov and others took a large group of local leaders to greet Manturov.

After a two-day and one-night trip, Manturov, although he was ostensibly satisfied with Tomsk's work, had already discovered a number of problems.

Most importantly, he found Dmitry as a witness to assist in the investigation of the case of Dubov's involvement in the anti-Bolshevik conspiracy. To achieve his goal of secretly investigating Dubov.

He pinned the fruits of this visit on Dmitry, hoping that he would provide Yakov with sufficient evidence to rid Dubov of the party pest.

Sure enough, Dmitry did not disappoint Manturov, and he summoned dozens of informed people early in the morning to record a confession for Yakov and give evidence.

By the afternoon, Yakov had gathered enough evidence to prove Dubov's guilt. He took dozens of internal guards with him and arrived at the train station in a mighty manner, ready to launch an arrest operation.

At that time, Manturov and Anna had already walked to the platform to get on the train, but it was only when he realized that the train had a mechanical failure and was delayed for half an hour.

He cherishes time, of course, he will not let go of this half hour. He doesn't like to wait, so he has to find something to do, such as going out for a coffee.

As soon as I left the platform and walked to the train station lobby, I realized that I had almost missed a good show.

At that time, Yakov had already taken the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and broke into the railway station in a mighty manner.

Dubov had just received the news that the train had been delayed, and when he saw the lineup of the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he thought that someone had sabotaged the train station and had done something on the parts of the train, so the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would come and arrest this person and wash him away.

But the damage to the train's parts was an accident, not a human factor. The person the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to arrest this time was none other than Dubov himself.

Yakov, dressed in the uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was in high spirits, and he walked up to Dubov with his head held high and said with a high spirit: "Comrade Dubov, please come with us." ”

Dubov never imagined that the person being investigated would be him. "Did something happen?"

"Today it has been reported that you have been involved in the anti-Bolshevik conspiracy of Yezhov and Ekh. Of course, I don't want that to be true either. So, I'm going to ask you to go to the city bureau now and give you a chance to exonerate yourself. "From Manturov, Yakov has learned to play with the art of language.

Seeing Yakov's high-spirited appearance, Anna felt extremely excited. When he was about to run up to kiss and hug Yakov, he was held tightly by Manturov's hand.

"Comrade Manturov, what are you going to do? Can't I go up and take a look? ”

"Didn't you see that? If you are nearsighted, go for a set of glasses. ”

"That'...... All right. ”

After several days of investigation, a large amount of irrefutable evidence, and the efforts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Dubov has confessed to all the crimes and confessed to all his accomplices.

Some of the cadres who had been wrongly purged by him were released, and Yakov's mission in Tomsk was completed, and he was transferred back to Novosibirsk as the head of the Novosibirsk City Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The post of head of the Tomsk City Bureau was taken over by Yuri Andropov, the chairman of the "future" KGB. Later he was transferred to Uzbekistan, where ten years later he played a major role in the fate of Manturov. What does it do? What can you do in Uzbekistan? Let's sell it first, and then talk about it later.
