After the 19th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, there was a slight change in the political ecology of the Soviet Union. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In this election, the faction that benefited the most was the "Leningrad faction" led by Zhdanov, the second secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU. Two of their faction members, Alexei Kuznetsov and Nikolai Voznesensky, were elected members of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and members of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, respectively, and successfully rose to the core of the CPSU's power system.

Since then, the Leningrad faction has held both positions in the Secretariat and the Politburo, and has risen to become the most powerful single faction in Soviet politics.

In addition to the "Leningrad faction", the "Siberian faction" led by Manturov also made good profits (although this faction has not yet taken shape).

Not only was Manturov himself re-elected as a member of the Secretariat of the CPSU and a member of the Politburo, but the power of the Organization Department of the CPSU Central Committee under his leadership was further expanded, replacing the abolished Organization Bureau of the CPSU Central Committee as the highest personnel department in the party.

Chernenko, whom he promoted, was also promoted from the position of first secretary of the Novosibirsk Oblast Party Committee to the first secretary of the Party Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan, although this position has little influence in the Central Committee and his actual power is not much greater than that of the secretary of the Oblast Party Committee, but it is a transition point for him to be promoted to secretary of the Central Committee.

In history, there have been 2 people who have risen from the secretary of the Kazakh Party Committee to the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, including the "future" General Secretary of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev, and Ponomarenko.

However, Brezhnev has been eliminated by Manturov in an upright way, and Ponomarenko did not become the secretary of the Kazakh party committee because of the appearance of Chernenko, so he could not be promoted from the position of secretary of the Kazakh party committee to the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, and could only continue to work in the position of secretary of the Belarusian party committee.

Of course, if Chernenko can be the secretary of the Ukrainian party committee, the effect will be even better, after all, Ukraine is one of the most important member states of the Soviet Union except Russia, and almost every first secretary of the Ukrainian party committee can also serve as a member of the Politburo or the secretary of the Central Secretariat, which is a very good springboard.

However, now Khrushchev is still firmly sitting in the position of secretary of the Ukrainian party committee, and with Manturov's ability, he cannot get rid of this short bald head who is addicted to corn and cannot extricate himself, and cannot vacate the position of secretary of the Ukrainian party committee for his own people.

It just so happened that a vacant position was made on the Kazakh side, and Nikolai Skovltsov, then the first secretary of the Kazakh Party committee, happened to be appointed by Stalin as the Minister of Cash Crops. Manturov saw this opportunity, so he recommended Chernenko to Stalin and put him in the position of first secretary of the Kazakh party committee.

Chernenko's political achievements were already among the best among the leaders of the local party committees in the Soviet Union, and it was very suitable for him to be the secretary of the party committee of the republic in Kazakhstan, and as a result, Stalin readily agreed to this arrangement, and he also arranged it very well with Mantulov, and Chernenko, who had obtained the appointment documents, also happily took the train to take office.

As for Katya, who has just been elected as the first secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee and Oblast Party Committee, she is also a popular candidate for secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, and is expected to succeed Shcherbakov as secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee and Oblast Committee.

However, because she was too young, her performance was not outstanding enough, and her political resources were not strong enough, Katya did not succeed in becoming a secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, nor did she succeed Shcherbakov as head of the Central Liaison Department, but was put into the Propaganda and Agitation Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU as a deputy minister.

A person who was supposed to be the secretary of the Central Committee was only arranged to be the deputy head of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU in the end, and if such a situation were encountered by ordinary people, most of them would be disappointed and surprised.

But Katia is not an ordinary person, she has a stronger psychological capacity than ordinary people, and she herself does not want to become the secretary of the Central Committee and the head of the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee so quickly, because this will cause a lot of trouble for herself and her husband, making the two of them the target of other politicians.

Besides, she herself is not good at international liaison work. If she becomes the head of the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee and the secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, she will not only become the focus of attention, but also her shortcomings will be easily discovered by others and become a lever for people with intentions to attack her.

Instead of suffering in a high position, it is better to enjoy work in a lower position.

Katia herself was born in the propaganda department of the Communist Youth League to engage in cultural propaganda work, has experience in cultural propaganda work, and also has a certain interest in this work.

In that case, why not put her in the propaganda system and become the deputy head of the propaganda and agitation department? In this way, not only can she be given a chance to give full play to her strengths, but at the same time, it will not be eye-catching, and if she performs well, she will have a reason to be promoted, and if she performs poorly, it will not have much impact on the department and the country, as long as she is slightly diluted, there is nothing to do.

But if someone catches the handle, it's not easy to say.

As for Suslov, his arrangement did not change because of Manturov's recommendation. As in history, he was transferred from the position of First Secretary of the Ordzhonikidze Regional Party Committee to the post of Chairman of the Central Bureau of Lithuania.

In fact, Suslov and Manturov did not have any friendship, and their relationship was not good, but at least they both had a good impression of each other. This kind of relationship, if cultivated a little, can develop into a friendship between colleagues, and even pull Suslova to Manturov's "disciple".

However, Suslov's performance is too low-key, his personal character is good, and he has done a good job in every position, but he has been promoted to the position of secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee at once, and the pace of leapfrogging is indeed a little bigger, which will inevitably cause controversy.

Therefore, Stalin and Manturov could only arrange him to be the leader of Lithuania at the level of a union republic, let him hone his position at the level of a union country, and then consider promotion.

Although Manturov gained a lot this time, it was nothing compared to the Leningrad faction.

With the rise of the Leningrad faction and the "Siberian faction", the status of the "Georgian gang" headed by Beria was greatly challenged. In order to bring down the forces of the "Georgian gang", the Leningrad faction has begun to look for the handle of Beria and Malenkov and plan a case that is enough to bring down the forces of Beria.
