"Anna, are you alright?" The next day at work, Manturov asked this question as soon as he saw Anna. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Anna's face was not good, she didn't look very comfortable, but she still forced a smile and gave a positive answer: "Okay, everything is fine." You still don't have to worry about me. ”

From Anna's face, Manturov always felt that there was something unspeakable in the other party's heart, and the stiff smile knew at a glance that it was fake.

Although Manturov saw this, he did not intend to ask any further questions, because if he asked again, it would not only involve personal privacy, but also damage the relationship between his boss and his subordinates.

"That's good, what has changed in the Novosibirsk region during the months that I have been away?" In the months since Manturov's departure, Anna has been working with Chernenko, the second secretary of the state party committee, and has never been out of touch and knows the changes in the state inside and out.

"Nothing has changed." Anna said without a look.

Manturov did not accept such an answer, as the secretary of the state party secretary, how could Anna feel that this place had not changed? Isn't the increase in population, the completion of houses, and the construction of a series of industrial facilities all changing? It was clear that Anna was not in the job she was supposed to be, and the simple answer was just to perfunctory questions from her boss.

As the first secretary, Manturov usually can't tolerate his subordinates perfunctory, but he doesn't want Anna, who has experienced emotional trauma, to become more depressed and sad, so he doesn't choose to reprimand her, but chooses tolerance.

But after all, it was time for work, and Manturov also urgently needed to understand the changes in the state and adjust the policy of governance, so he asked the leading question: "Is the third phase of the housing program completed?" ”

"It's not done, it's not ...... It is done, and the allocation of apartments is already underway. ”

From Anna's answer, Manturov experienced Anna's sluggish state. First saying that it was not done, and then saying that it was done, such a fluctuating answer is obviously not the performance that a qualified cadre should perform.

"How has the population of the state changed?" Manturov asked.

"Now the population of the Novosibirsk region is about 10.8 million or so, and nothing has changed."

This answer may seem like nothing wrong, but there are some mistakes. There is nothing wrong with this figure, but before Manturov left, the population of the state was only about 10.66 million (Note 1), which has increased by more than 100,000, so how can it be said that there has been no change? It's a clear sign of inactivity.

This time, Manturov began to feel that he really couldn't keep Anna, who was in a slump, by his side. In this case, it will only delay the work. "Anna, you don't seem to be in a good state, so you might as well rest for a few days. I'll find someone to replace your job. ”

Without saying a word, Anna placed the letter she was holding on Manturov's desk.

Manturov thought that this was Anna's resignation letter, and hurriedly said: "Comrade Romanova, I know that you are not in a good state, but you don't need to resign." ”

"Comrade Secretary, this is not my letter of resignation."

Manturov turned his gaze to the cover of the envelope and glared at the sender's name in surprise. This is not Anna's resignation letter, but a letter written to Manturov by Joseph Stalin, the supreme leader of the CPSU.

"From the Kremlin?" Manturov asked in surprise as he looked at Anna's angelic, but vampire-pale face.

Anna didn't make a sound, just nodded quietly in affirmation.

Manturov took out a letter opener, carefully opened Stalin's letter, took out the letter paper, and carefully read the contents of the letter.

"Dear Comrade Manturov,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your brilliant victory in the war against Japan, and both the People's Commissariat of Defense and Comrade Zhukov have reported to me about your performance in the war, and I have learned that you have made great contributions during the war and played an extremely important role in the war to defeat the Japanese. Taking into account your merits, we will give you appropriate awards at the appropriate time to give you appropriate recognition for your meritorious contributions to the motherland.

However, during your time in the Novosibirsk region, a large number of children of Gula prisoners were allowed to join the Novosibirsk local regiments and party organizations, and a large number of former Gula prisoners and exiles were assigned to work in Soviet government institutions.

I have also received your letters about the living conditions of the families of the prisoners in Gula Camp before, and I would like to express my gratitude to you for these letters, because they expose some unfair phenomena in our country and commend some people who are loyal to the Party and Marxism-Leninism, but who are burdened with bad backgrounds.

However, this does not mean that I completely agree with you, you see one aspect of the problem, and you can see that there are indeed some people in the Soviet Union who have a bad background (referring to the children of the prisoners of the Gula camp), but who are firmly loyal to the party, to Marxism and Leninism in their hearts.

They are treated unfairly by teaching staff and party members, but this is only one aspect of the problem. I don't think they should be treated unfairly, but their background has a more or less negative impact on their thinking.

There may be some people who are not loyal to the party in their hearts, or even hate our great party, but in order to gain freedom, they show their loyalty to the party and take an active part in revolutionary activities.

Of course, this does not in any way prove that what you said is that there is no such thing as loyalty to the Party and to communism, and that those who are loyal to the Party and who are enthusiastic about participating in revolutionary activities should be encouraged. One thing is clear, however, that the children of the "enemies of the people", the prisoners from the Gula camp, and the exiles all harbored counter-revolutionary and anti-Bolshevik ideas.

There should not be so many former counter-revolutionary elements in our party organizations and league organizations, and before allowing them to join the organization and arrange work for them in the organization, we must think clearly and not allow dissident elements to infiltrate the party.

Wishing you all the best and shaking your hand!

Your Jo Stalin

September 25, 1939" (the wording and style of the letter refer to Stalin's letter to Sholokhov, May 6, 1933)

After reading the letter, Manturov put it aside. At this time, he was not concerned about the treatment of those who had a "bad background", but about Anna's work status.

"Anna, I see that you are not in a good state, so you might as well rest for a few days." Manturov said this again.

"No need, Comrade Secretary, I want to work, I don't want to rest."

Manturov could see that Anna was now trying to distract herself from her work, but that this was dangerous for the work itself, and it was easy to go awry. "But there's a lot of work in the state committee, and it's all important, are you sure you can handle it all?

Looking at your current state, I am very worried that you will have problems at work, and these problems may be related to the operation of the party organizations in our Novosibirsk region, and possibly to the lives of the people. ”

"No, there will be no problems."

Manturov gave another suggestion: "It's better to go to the Komsomol first to help Katyusha and ask her secretary to come and help me." There are fewer jobs over there, and you're also a good friend of Katyusha, so you should be in a better mood with her. What do you think of this arrangement? ”

"However, I am more familiar with the operation of the state party committee than Katyusha's secretary, do you really think this arrangement is appropriate?"

"But your state is really not suitable for handling the work of the state party committee, although Katyusha's secretary is not familiar with the operation here, she is also an activist, hardworking, shrewd, and should be able to get started soon. Of course, compared to her, in a normal state, you are still a little better, but now that you are in such a state, you are really not suitable for handling the important work of the state party committee.

Come back here when you're back in shape. ”

Anna thought about it carefully, felt that Manturov's arrangement was quite reasonable, and finally accepted the plan.

Note 1: Due to the lack of accurate figures, the population of the Novosibirsk region at that time was extrapolated by the author himself on the basis of some sources. According to some data, in 1935, the population of the West Siberian Territory was 10.5 million, and in 1937, the West Siberian Territory was divided into two, divided into Altai Territory and Novosibirsk Oblast (now Novosibirsk Region, Tomsk Oblast and Kemerovo Region), Altai Territory mobilized 55,000 people to participate in the war during World War II, based on the Soviet mobilization rate of 13.75%, it is estimated that the population of Altai Territory before the war was about 400,000 people, minus the population of Altai Territory, In 1935 the population of the Novosibirsk region was about 10 million people, and between 1935 and 1939 the population of Novosibirsk increased significantly, which, combined with the attraction of the main character's development, was estimated to be between 10.4 million and 10.8 million in 1939. ）
