When Andreyev and Kaganovich both expressed their support for Manturov, the rest of the Organizing Committee had to reconsider their stance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Whether it is Malenkov, Zhdanov, Shcherbakov, or Mikhailov and Schvernik, they have to consider their own political interests on this issue.

In terms of political interests, Malenkov would definitely be on Manturov's side. After all, he was a man who saw the wind and steered the wheel, and the promotion of Manturov was Stalin's proposal, which was supported by two Politburo members, Kaganovich and Andreyev.

"I also think that Comrade Manturov is the most suitable candidate for the post of deputy chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission." As a man who saw the wind and steered the rudder, he could only pat the big guy's sycophants and echo the big guy's opinion, resolutely stood on Stalin's side and supported Manturov as the deputy chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission.

In his opinion, this can not only maintain relations with Stalin, Andreyev, and Kaganovich, but also increase his favorability in Manturov's mind and improve relations with Manturov. Maybe in the future, if you have a good relationship with Manturov, you can also pull him into your camp and use him for his use.

Like Malenkov, Mikhailov and Schvernik are people who look at the faces of the bigwigs. Since Stalin, Andreyev, Kaganovich and Malenkov have all expressed their support, then their two younger brothers will naturally not disobey and will support Manturov as deputy chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission.

The rest of Zhdanov and Shcherbakov are a bit more complicated.

"Comrade Stalin, I think Comrade Manturov is too young, although he has been in the party for nine years, he has only been the secretary of the state party committee for two years, and he does not have a lot of experience in the party, and it is difficult for him to be qualified to be the deputy chairman of the Central Supervision Commission." As the second secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Zhdanov's voice is also relatively large in the entire Organization Bureau.

Every time he encountered such a situation, Zhdanov usually expressed his opinion first. If Stalin had insisted on his position, Zhdanov would have backed down.

"Comrade Zhdanov, who do you think is more suitable for the post of deputy chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission?" Stalin pretended to be open-minded and wanted to listen to Zhdanov's thoughts and see if Zhdanov had a better candidate.

"I think Comrade Alexei Alexandrovich Kuznetsov is more suitable for the post of Deputy Chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission. He has also done an excellent job in the work of local party organizations, and he has rich work experience, so he is a relatively suitable candidate. ”

Stalin and Manturov had long guessed that Zhdanov would come to such a play. This Alexei Kuznetsov is the second secretary of the Leningrad City Party Committee, and at the same time a descendant carefully cultivated by Zhdanov.

The reason why Zhdanov put forward this candidate was that he wanted to install his own people in the party's discipline inspection body. In this way, Zhdanov can not only strengthen his own political group (Leningrad faction), but also use the power of this position to bring down his political opponents, which can be described as ulterior motives.

Stalin explained: "In terms of work experience, Kuznetsov is undoubtedly more abundant than Comrade Manturov, but is this work experience applicable to the post of deputy chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission?

Comrades, I think you should know that the Central Supervisory Commission is responsible for the organizational and discipline work of the entire Party organization, including the local Party organizations, the military Party organizations, and the various people's committees.

Kuznetsov did have a lot of work experience, but he never served in any of the People's Commissars, nor in the army.

On the contrary, although Comrade Manturov was relatively young and had a relatively young party experience, he served as secretary of the Novosibirsk Regional Party Committee, People's Commissar for Construction, Deputy People's Commissar for National Defense, and Deputy Chairman of the People's Commissar for Heavy Industry and Construction, and also served in the organization of the Komsomol League.

He has certain work experience in different departments and party organizations, is familiar with the situation of different organizations, and has a more overall and comprehensive understanding of party organizations.

Whether in the local party committees, in the people's commissaries, or in the Soviet Red Army, Comrade Manturov has accumulated a certain amount of work experience and has also achieved certain achievements, and it is indeed more appropriate for him to serve as the vice chairman of the Central Supervision Commission in charge of the People's Commissariat Committee. ”

Stalin's words had already expressed his determination to appoint Manturov. At that time, Manturov was the only person who held important positions in the Komsomol, local party committees, the army, and the people's commissaries.

As the discipline inspection organ of the whole Party, the Central Supervision Commission has to supervise the discipline of the Party organizations of the Red Army, the People's Commissariat of Nationalities, and even of all state-owned enterprises, in addition to the local Party organizations.

The reason why Manturov was selected by Stalin as a candidate for deputy chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission was that he had held important positions in different types of institutions and had a certain understanding of different types of party and government institutions.

Moreover, Manturov's dazzling achievements in various departments, showing excellent work ability and organizational ability, coupled with his image of modesty, indifference to fame and fortune, and single-minded service to the country in front of Stalin, not only eliminated Stalin's concerns about him, but also won Stalin's trust, which is the most crucial factor.

The reason why Stalin wanted to set up this deputy chairman of the Central Supervisory Commission was that he hoped that Manturov would use the power of the Supervisory Commission to deal with those political workers in the army who violated discipline.

Some of those political workers came from the military's political academy, and many of them were local officials. For example, the main target of this purge, Deputy Director of the Political Department of the Southern Front, Leonid Brezhnev, was the secretary of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Party Committee before the start of the war, and Khrushchev, Suslov, Bulganin and other officials also served as political commissars of different units during the war.

These local officials, even those who are high-ranking central officials, have a high status, and if you want to get rid of them, you must have enough power.

As the head of the political department of the Red Army, Manturov could at best kick these Brezhnev officers out of the army. But after these people left the army, the head of the General Political Department of the Red Army could no longer control them, and only the Central Supervisory Commission had the power to control them.
