At the same time, Serov was also elected as a deputy to the Supreme Soviet, a process presided over by Brezhnev and approved at the same time, of course, because Serov was an additional deputy of the Soviets and a member of the Central Committee, and if he wanted to go further or stabilize, he would have to wait for the next National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, when his political position in the Union would be determined.

"Now let Comrade Serov speak on the security work of the Alliance!" This was definitely a courtesy, not all additional members of the Central Committee were entitled to have time to speak at the meetings of the Central Committee, and Khrushchev allowed Serov to speak, indicating that he had an extraordinary evaluation of the first deputy chairman of the KGB, and this was the message received by the members of the Central Committee who were present.

During the Khrushchev era, the number of members and councils of the Central Committee of the USSR was less than 200, and the number of alternate members was less than 100. The scale is probably a third less than in the Brezhnev era, because Malenkov and Molotov of the Central Presidium had relied on the superiority of the Central Presidium to oppose Khrushchev, and Khrushchev turned defeat into victory through the support of the Central Committee members. So the members of the Central Committee were no longer purely symbolic, and got rid of the situation of making rubber stamps in the Stalin era.

Now among the 300 highest-ranking people in the Soviet Union, there is a 36-year-old Serov.

"Distinguished secretaries, marshals, and comrades, I am excited to attend this meeting today, and at the same time I feel that I have such an opportunity to learn." Serov stood on the podium where Khrushchev had just stood, and the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union was behind him, facing the members of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union present, and said, "This great revolution of the Soviet people forty years ago has begun, as Lenin, the revolutionary mentor, has repeatedly pointed out, a new era in the history of the world. There have been various revolutions in history. However, no revolution in the past can be compared with the October Socialist Revolution. ”

"The creation of a society in which no one exploits man has been the dream of the working people of the world and progressive mankind for thousands of years. For the first time in history, the October Revolution turned this dream into reality on one-sixth of the world's land. This revolution proved that without the landlords and the bourgeoisie, the people were able to build a new life of freedom and happiness in a planned way. At the same time, it also proves that without imperialist oppression, all nations in the world can coexist in harmony. ”

"The Soviet people have gone through a difficult journey for more than forty years. The imperialists tried in every possible way to destroy the world's first socialist republic. The enemies of the Soviet Union once seemed to be stronger than the Soviet Union, and they attacked the Soviet Union twice. But the heroic Soviet people, under the leadership of the glorious Communist Party of the Soviet Union, completely crushed the offensive of these aggressors. ”

"With regard to the security of the Union, the original intention and purpose of the National Security Council is to create a more efficient and transparent system that guarantees the safety of workers, peasants, and all the people of the Union, including comrades!" Serov pressed his hands on the podium and said in a very sincere tone, "We can do this, science and technology are advancing, and this depends on the strong and effective scientific research strength of the alliance." ”

The scientific strength of the Soviets was not in the slightest doubt that the strength of one country against the entire capitalist camp was a commendable achievement, and in the integration of basic sciences, the Soviet Union was not inferior to any country, and even more outstanding than its own opponents.

The Soviet Union fought against the whole of Europe and the United States almost as a single country, which lasted for nearly a century, and one of the greatest strengths was the strength of basic science, which in turn determined its ability to independently research advanced technology. Therefore, it is very important to examine how such a country that was extremely poor in the writings of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky was able to develop a strong basic science. A good sample of this is the history of the development of the Moscow School of Mathematics.

The seminar held by Yegolov and Mrodshevsky together was originally based on the theme of differential geometry derived from classical analysis, and the analytical application of geometric problems prompted the need to further clarify the basic concepts of real analysis, so the preliminary study of real analysis began at that time, and Yegolov himself actively participated in this trend, and in time introduced the Moscow seminar, and the student of the class, Lugin, became a master of real analysis, and it just so happened that Lukin was also a person with extraordinary teaching and guiding talents, And thus the Moscow School was formed.

The USSR was not for nothing. It was not defeated on the battlefield of confrontation and fighting between the two armies, and its military high technology was generally successful despite such and such problems. It is well known that the Soviet Union's level of science and technology and industry was not advanced among the great powers, and one should not ignore its important advances in science and technology and industry because of its disgust with the Soviet Union, although it was lost in many economic fields. Looking at the scientific and technological achievements of the Soviet Union, the willingness to invest is certainly one of the reasons, but it cannot be simply attributed to more money and less money or a thick foundation. What is more terrible than the weak foundation of science and technology is the barrenness of thought, and more importantly, there is a certain degree of freedom in research and exploration, not only there is room for imagination, but also the conditions for turning imagination into reality, so we are not afraid of risks, and our thinking is active and we have the courage to experiment.

In terms of science, the Soviet Union was not a desert, from Landau to Korolev, there was no shortage of experts in the field of industry, and scientists gave the Soviet Union the courage to confront a much more powerful enemy.

Using science as a guise to swagger and deceive, and at the meeting of the Central Committee members, Serov should be the first, unlike many of his famous predecessors, Serov does not have such high authority, neither Yagoda and Yezhov during the Great Purge of the Soviet Union, nor Beria, one of the giants of the Soviet Union, but Serov, who has just become a member of the Central Committee, dares to talk about the power of science and technology in front of the Central Committee, which no one can imagine.

"The monitoring system is very expensive to counterfeit, but judging by our feedback so far, it is a very developing project, and this is not a surveillance of the people of the USSR, but self-restraint on the part of the KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Serov said slowly, "In addition to the reason why law enforcers always appear black sheep, a person can always find a loophole in discipline, and under this loophole it becomes a blind spot in organizational supervision, so the self-restraint of the organization cannot only rely on discipline, but also needs the assistance of technology!"
