Chapter 46: The Informant

Dmitry's apartment is not large, about 80 square meters in size, but it is occupied by three families with a total of 10 people, and each person has an average living space of only 8 square meters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Compared to Moscow's 4 square meters, the per capita living space here is already quite good. But compared to the thirteen square meters of the city of Novosibirsk, there is still a certain gap.

The chief was a retired old Bolshevik and Dmitry's father. The inhabitants of the apartment, seeing that the old Bolshevik was retired and idle at home, could take care of the affairs of the apartment. At the same time, considering Dmitry's status as a cadre, how to give him face, so he chose his father as the head of the apartment.

"Comrade Yu Chang, how is your life lately?"

The chief poured Manturov a glass of water, placed it on the table in front of him, and said, "It's okay." Three meals are well fed and clothing, but the living space is still so small. ”

"Didn't the municipality build new apartments?"

"Yes, there is, but it has not been built yet, and the resources invested by the local government are insufficient. Even if all of them are completed, they will only be able to supply a few hundred households, which is not enough to meet the housing demand here. ”

"Well, then, what do you think of Comrade Dubov? Did he do a good job? ”

"Dima (Dmitry's nickname), come and talk to Comrade Manturov."

"Wait a minute, I'll have to fight with the child for the toilet." Dmitry responded.

Fight for the toilet? That's right, in the collective apartments of that time, there was also a queue to go to the toilet. Because there is only one toilet, but there are 90 residents, there will be a fight for toilets from time to time.

In addition to the toilet, the kitchen, washing machine, and even the dining table have to be used in turns, which causes great inconvenience to the residents, and there are many quarrels with other people because of the problem of living space.

But the children in the dormitory have a different experience, and they rarely quarrel with each other. Dormitory apartments increase the opportunities for children from different families to interact with each other, and they can occasionally run into the "homes" of other children to play and consult each other on academics.

"Did Dmitry work in the city government? What is the position? Manturov asked the chief.

Yu Chang nodded and said, "Yes, he is the secretary of the second secretary of the municipal party committee." With his education and ability, it's not bad to get into this position. Of course, it can't be compared with you, you became the first secretary of the state party committee at a young age, there must be something outstanding. ”

"Old comrade, you have complimented me, how can I be outstanding? If I were someone else, I would have been able to do a good job as the secretary of the state party committee, and I would definitely do a better job than me. ”

"Don't be modest, secretary, I only went to Novosibirsk last week. Since you took office, the economy and quality of life have been improved to a certain extent. Your achievements in the first few months in office are equivalent to the achievements of Ehdang in several years. I've never met a local leader as capable as you. Yu Chang praised.

Manturov pushed down his glasses and smiled modestly: "Old comrade, you really complimented you. Although Ehe killed innocents indiscriminately and participated in **** conspiracy, his political performance when he was in office was also quite good. From 1930 to 1937, the development of Novosibirsk was greatly improved, and a large number of infrastructure, housing, and industrial bases were completed one after another, laying the foundation for today. ”

"If it weren't for Comrade Stalin, would he have done this? Besides, the development of the city of Novosibirsk owes its development to successive secretaries of the city party committees, as well as to the executive committee, and Ekh, the secretary of the state party committee, has actually done nothing. ”

"Actually, like Ehe, I didn't do anything, I just discovered an oil field and applied the latest steelmaking technology to design an apartment building that was easy to build and practical."

"No, if it weren't for your leadership, would the comrades below you be able to make a difference?"

The two talked for ten minutes, and Manturov kept belittling himself, while the chief kept praising each other until Dmitry came out of the toilet.

"Comrade Secretary, do you really want to hear about Dubov?" As soon as Dmitry walked out of the hall, he asked Manturov. In fact, the purpose of inviting Manturov to come up was to find a safe place and tell him about Dubov's true face.

"Yes."

"Then I said it."

The purpose of Manturov's visit to Tomsk was not only to inspect the progress of the oil field exploitation, but also to investigate the reported case of Dubov. Let's see if this person is abusing his power, as Suyev said, violating party discipline, participating in anti-Soviet conspiracy, keeping a mistress, and abusing his power.

"Say it."

"Actually, his performance in front of you is not real, what he says to you, what he shows you, is not real."

"Really? Let's hear it. ”

"Comrade Manturov, I believe you should have a certain understanding of the former secretary of the state party committee, Ekh."

Manturov lifted his glasses and said: "You know, he participated in the anti-Bolshevik conspiracy, colluded with Yezhov, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and purged a large number of innocent cadres. ”

"Yes, in fact, Dubov, like him, had been involved in Yezhov's anti-Bolshevik conspiracy, was part of their clique, and worked closely with Ekh's purges. He purged a large number of cadres loyal to the party and to Stalin in order to undermine the party organization.

In addition, he also abused his power and kept a mistress. As far as I know, he had no less than four mistresses, all of whom were assigned to three-bedroom apartments, and were given promotions and material rewards......"

Dmitry spat out everything he knew about Dubov's crimes, and Manturov listened intently, as if listening to a professor's lecture, not missing a single point.

After Dmitry finished speaking, Manturov held his chin with his right hand, thought carefully for a while, then put down his hand, raised his head and said: "Comrade, what you said is true?" ”

"yes, why should I lie to you?"

"In this case, tomorrow you go to the City Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find the director of the bureau, Comrade Yakov, and provide him with evidence, he is a key figure in the defeat of the Ehe group and a good friend of mine. If you can, you can call more people in the know and provide more evidence, so that the investigation is more efficient. ”

"Don't worry, you will."

Manturov stood up and said, "Then if there is nothing else, I will go first, thank you." ”

"No thanks."

"Don't tell anyone about today's events."

"Don't worry, we won't say it."
