Chapter 197: Nazarbayev
At the moment Khrushchev's appointment, Serov does not yet know. After kicking the Ryazan region, he took on two missions this time, the second and third directorates, as the head of the second directorate, he had to investigate the situation of corn cultivation in Kazakhstan, and as the director of the third directorate, he also had to participate in the rocket launch of the Baikonur space center.
Among the republics of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan is the second most important republic in the Soviet Union after Ukraine, and the party secretary of Kazakhstan sometimes enters the presidium of the Central Committee, but he is not as stable as the secretary of the Ukrainian party committee. Of course, this has nothing to do with Serov, he is not here for tourism, and the purpose of coming to Kazakhstan is similar to going to Ryazan, to see the problems in agriculture, and to wait for the opportunity to find a handle to kick off a few cadres to sacrifice the flag.
As for whether he can find a handle, Serov is not worried at all, in the general environment, now he wants to find problems in agriculture, it is simply too simple, it is even easier than finding advanced workers. As for the conscience of the Kazakh cadre class? Do they have a conscience? Isn't the most conscientious sector of the entire USSR for the Motherland, the KGB?
"Comrades have worked hard, let's not talk nonsense, first of all, take out all the grain statements of the whole of Kazakhstan, we have to check the grain reserves of the entire republic, the food problem has always been a place of great concern to the first secretary, the USSR must ensure that the country can be self-sufficient in grain, so let's start." Serov went to the KGB headquarters in Kazakhstan and met with the chairman of the KGB here, and only then did he directly issue his order at the meeting of the KGB Party Committee.
Reports on grain statistics from more than a dozen regions, including the South Kazakhstan region, soon appeared in front of him, and if he had been the chairman of the KGB instead of Sherepin, Serov might have set up a special agricultural bureau to solve this problem, oh. It's not to solve, it's to monitor the problem.
Not only is there no problem with the various agricultural reports, but if these reports are true, then the situation in Kazakhstan is not good. Kazakhstan's economy and development were indeed the best in the Soviet Union except in a few places, especially compared to the other republics of Central Asia. Kazakhstan is noticeably more prominent, but it seems far from optimistic, especially when compared to the report from a few years ago, which seems to be growing a little too fast.
"I don't have any other problems, now I order the KGB agencies and the General Directorate of Internal Affairs everywhere to open all the grain depots for statistics, and then give me the statistics after the statistics, and I will send them back to Moscow to the first secretary, and I hope you will remember one thing. A KGB must ensure that what he sees is true, I will not transfer people from other places to watch you, everyone is doing intelligence work, you understand better than the cadres of other departments, what is the end of fooling me with fake news, let's start! After reading the report, Serov directly arranged an order to take stock of all the granaries in Kazakhstan.
What kind of department is the KGB, I believe that there is no need for him, the deputy chairman, to talk more nonsense about popular science. It's not impossible for someone to dare to collude with local cadres to make false accounts, but you have to be careful that other agents in the same department are watching you in the dark. The KGB lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of spies, not to mention that these grassroots agents are responsible for different general bureaus, and you have to play revenge and be careful that other general bureaus clean you up.
This republic called Kazakhstan actually has more Russians than Kazakhs. Originally, Kazakhstan was large, but it would not have been so large. Later, the Soviet Union found that this vast and sparsely populated area was very valuable, so it assigned several oblasts belonging to Russia to the administration of Kazakhstan, which resulted in a situation where there were more Russians in Kazakhstan than Kazakhs, and the action of mixing sand was quite successful, if you do not consider the results of the later collapse of the Soviet Union.
In a sense. The Soviet Union's ethnic policy should be considered successful in Central Asia, these ethnic groups of different languages and species with Russian language are far more peaceful than some ethnic groups that are very close to Russia, yes, Serov is thinking of the three Baltic states and Ukraine, although the national resistance in those places is not as violent as the Central Asian peoples, but it shows that they are smarter, and the greatest resistance to the national integration of the Soviet Union is the relatives of those Russians.
In all fairness, the USSR was really good for Kazakhstan, so good that the Kazakhs did not want to see the collapse of the USSR. Nursultan Nazarbayev has always deplored the collapse of the Soviet Union, and has repeatedly stated that he has expressed this view. I just don't know if this regret has anything to do with the possibility that he will become the prime minister of the Soviet Union?
Serov, who watched a movie in a club in Almaty, was accompanied by the later president of Kazakhstan, who was also the most developed minority cadre in the late Soviet Union, which was a workers' club, which could accommodate 2,000 people to watch movies, like this kind of club, which was found in more than 50,000 cities and towns in the Soviet Union, and existed as a supporting facility that a town must have.
Nazarbayev is 20 years old this year, and it is not difficult for a person in a department like Serov to find a person, not to mention that Nazarbayev himself works in the Komsomol and it is too easy to find him. So he specifically designated this person as his tour guide during his work in Kazakhstan, and things happened so happily.
"How does it feel? Isn't life good for Americans? Serov, who had left the club, asked Nazarbayev how the American movie he had just watched was.
"General Serov, the quality of this film is not very good, is the level of American filmmaking so poor?" Nazarbayev feels that two hours are wasted, according to the standards of later generations, this movie is a very standard bad movie, two points are too much, I really don't know that there are always such movies playing in the Soviet Union, is it to ease the policy?
"Haha!" Nazarbayev's answer made Serov laugh, how could he not know that these movies were bad movies that were not up to par, because he bought them in Los Angeles with his own hands. There are hundreds of them, and one broadcast in three days can be broadcast for a whole year. Of course, as a KGB agent in a city, he bought them all according to normal standards, and there was no intention of black Hollywood at all, and there were ten or eight real blockbusters in it.
For some people who think that his behavior of introducing bad movies, 10% of the good film rate is enough to slap those people in the face, he is just buying American movies according to the normal proportion, and there is no black behavior. Even if the rate of 10 percent good films is already very high, Serov feels that he is a little too relaxed, with Hollywood output, it would be good to have one good movie out of a hundred films, and he thinks that he has tried his best to convey the glamorous side of the United States to the Soviet people, and if the Soviet people don't buy it, it has nothing to do with him.
Nazarbayev in front of him belongs to the kind of person who doesn't buy it, a person who will be idle and have nothing to do to find a few high-quality movies from hundreds of movies, and most of them are disgusting garbage at a glance, enough to drown a few works of conscience with nothing, this reaction made Serov very moved, it seems that at the end of the year, Hollywood will talk about the introduction of films, the proportion is still according to the current proportion, no way, the Soviets are poor, and blockbusters cost a lot of money.
As an internationalist fighter, Serov is also for the sake of the filmmakers at the bottom of the United States, if he doesn't buy it, those young directors and actors who chase their dreams but have no funds will be unemployed, or no one will recognize their value, in case they are hit by the evil capitalism and don't make garbage, isn't that helping the progress of American imperialism, although it is immoral to pour into the mouths of the people, but Serov has to do it.
Many filmmakers' jobs are in Serov's hands, and as a spy chief, he can't let these low-level American filmmakers down, and if he wants to shoot garbage, shoot more garbage, maybe the level will really get higher and higher.
Thousands of miles away in the Ryazan region, because of Serov's order had to start to attack the local wild animals, the forest area now the most often heard is the sound of gunfire, accompanied by all kinds of gunfire, one after another wild boar was dragged out of the mountains and forests, as a reserved supply for the people of the state, this is also a matter of the way, who let the Larionov gang do too much, so that this year even the people of the state to eat meat has become a problem, although the wild boar is not very delicious, but it is always no problem to deal with it for a while.
Since the supply of meat is ironclad, it can catch up with the output of previous years, but in the collection of agricultural and sideline foods, Ryazan Prefecture is really worthy of its own natural environment, this year Ryazan Oblast still has the capital to blow, pine towers, fungus, mushrooms and other forest products have all reaped gratifying results, under the strong supervision of the KGB and the General Administration of Internal Affairs, agricultural and sideline food, especially many things that originally grew in forest areas, have been written into the report as achievements.
After reading the telegram sent by Ryazan Prefecture, Serov tilted his head and thought to himself, "The pine tower has increased tenfold, and the fungus has increased a hundred times?" What was the original production base? Is it not? ”
On the one hand, it shows that Ryazan is very rich in natural resources, and it also shows that the Soviets really don't seem to pay much attention to this kind of thing, anyway, the General Directorate of Military Administration has an unlucky agriculturist who followed Sukachev, Serov can find a few people to come out and help blow it, such as pure green food, natural pollution-free, treatment of anemia, heat clearing and detoxification, etc., he is not lying, but it is just a little exaggerated, meat can not be blown, you can blow it from non-staple food, anyway, the Soviets do not understand this aspect, A little more publicity may stimulate attention to this aspect. In the previous life, there was a county in Serov's hometown, and the whole county was planted with fungus, which was the pillar industry of the local area. (To be continued.) )
