Chapter 421: Cultural People
Once the cultural circles surrender to the enemy, the impact will be very huge, the routes are different, and the more knowledge there is, the more reactionary it will be! This sentence is very reasonable, and the chaotic Chinese community at the end of the Soviet Union definitely played a huge role in fueling the fire.
Although the existence of the Fifth Main Directorate of the KGB is indeed to deal with the infiltration of Western ideas and the revival of religious forces, in fact, it is more to deal with the latter at present, and it is not difficult to understand that Khrushchev adopted a tolerant attitude towards the remarks of the Soviet cultural circles from time to time, which is one of the reasons why Suslov had nothing to argue with Khrushchev. With the existence of such a first secretary, it is conceivable that the work of the Fifth Directorate is limited to taking frequent preventive warnings, and people like Solzhenitsyn, who are really influential, are simply not too nourishing to be alive.
Although his heart was full of disgust for this guy, Serov could only pretend that he did not see it, and closed his eyes when Solzhenitsyn did not exist. The ideal first secretary is naturally not a little naΓ―ve like Khrushchev in character, and it is better to be the successor if he has full trust in himself, but in fact, these two qualities are in Khrushchev and Brezhnev. It's just not perfect.
"That group of potential fifth columns is jumping quite happily every day, and our first secretary just has nothing to do to tell those guys in the cultural world not to talk nonsense, in fact, those people still do what they have to do!" Serov sighed and said to Kadpov, "Sometimes I really want them to disappear into this world!" Why didn't Solzhenitsyn die in the Gulag back then? The result has caused us so much trouble? β
"Head, do you want us to deal with a group of people?" Major General Kadipov gestured a killing cleanup.
Serov hurriedly shook his head, this is Shemychasny's way of dealing with it, it is not impossible to kill people, but it depends on whether the return and investment can be proportional, if killing people will not cause negative effects and will only solve the problem, do you think that his Caspian sea tiger will be soft? But that's not the problem, if the KGB plays assassination in a relaxed environment, it will only blow up the nest of the group of people in the cultural world who think they have a conscience, which is not a good thing.
As long as the general environment changes, let alone Solzhenitsyn alone, he is not afraid of the death of the entire Soviet Writers' Association. Because before the start of the move, the state public opinion will first tighten and cut off the channels for foreigners to know, and then no one will know what the KGB is doing, but at present there is no such environment.
But Solzhenitsyn was still a little unwilling to let go, and he couldn't consider any car accident or drowning to thank him for his death. Because this kind of death will definitely arouse suspicion once it appears, the best way should be to let this person die of illness, and do it a little more like.
"Solzhenitsyn, isn't there anything sick about his body?" It was really unwilling to give up, and in the end Serov asked his own question further, this person must be eliminated, if you count according to time, Solzhenitsyn's Gulag archipelago should have begun to write.
For the sake of the honor of the KGB, this person must die, and for the sake of the honor of the USSR, this person should die.
"Solzhenitsyn had cancer, but it's cured!" Kadpov also shook his head, secretly lamenting that Solzhenitsyn's life was great, he could survive in the conditions of the Gulag, and he was even cured of cancer.
"Healed? Can I not recur after being cured? Serov's eyes flashed brightly, and he felt as if he had grasped something and said, "Cancer has a great chance of recurrence, and some drugs not only have no inhibitory effect on cancer, but also promote the regeneration of cancer cells, this is the power of medicine, which can save people or kill people!" β
"Head, you mean to swap out Solzhenitsyn's medicine, let his cancer come back, and then we'll kill him on the operating table!" Kadpov understood what Serov meant and was ready to take Solzhenitsyn's life through his illness.
"Do it cleanly, for this kind of big writer, we do our best to rescue, one operation can't get rid of the cancer cells, we look for a specialist to do a few more surgeries, Solzhenitsyn is not too old, he can go to the operating table a few more times. Give you two years, plenty of time, and I'm sure you won't let me down......" Serov had already made up his mind to let this famous Soviet dissident go to see his god early.
Kill Solzhenitsyn, this guy in the province regretted facing Russia after the collapse of the USSR, and then it was too late for him to regret it, and the USSR would not come back.
If Serov remembers correctly, this guy is very similar to US President Ronald Reagan in the 80s, because at that time, the atmosphere of the Cold War was a little lighter, and the political and academic circles in Europe and the United States were blowing peace; Solzhenitsyn, for his part, warned against the illusion that either the Soviet Union would be destroyed or destroyed. This kind of proposition was too much to Reagan's appetite, and he needed it in order to add fuel to the fire of the Cold War until the Soviet Union was brought down. Even better, Solzhenitsyn's religious sentiments are identical to Reagan's neoconservatism, which advocates a return to the Christian spirit and condemns the world's declining popularity. Solzhenitsyn, who could not be transformed into a perfect political weapon in his life, turned out to be the help of the Reagan-style "new protection" at this time.
He couldn't leave this man to Reagan, who was the president of the United States, and if he wasn't lucky, his presidential career would have been as unsuccessful as his career as an actor. The economic crisis in the United States after Reagan's resignation has a lot to do with his bloody economic policy, but the Soviet Union died first, and if the Soviet Union grits its its teeth and persists for a few years, the sequelae of Reaganomics, which is heavily indebted in the United States, will be enough to detonate a huge economic crisis.
Many cultural people who have been influenced by Western ideas do not understand the simple truth that when your country is no longer qualified to be an adversary of the United States, your own use value disappears. If the national strength and environment of the United States and the Soviet Union were reversed, Serov would definitely not kill Solzhenitsyn, but treat him well as a benchmark to prove that the Soviet Union is very tolerant of cultural people, and at the same time find a few persecuted guys in the United States for propaganda comparison, but the Soviet Union does not have this condition, and is not qualified to show the country's tolerance in the case of disadvantage.
Solzhenitsyn was noticed by Serov only because of his fame, and other cultural people on the KGB's dangerous list were also under the close attention of the special services of the Fifth Main Directorate. We must not relax on the issue of suppressing cultural circles.
But none of these people were more dangerous than Solzhenitsyn, whose problem was already imminent, and it was heard that he had begun to look for people serving sentences in the Gulag to write a novel, and Serov, as the chairman of the KGB, must not let this happen.
"Chairman, Chairman Brezhnev has already gotten off at the entrance of the headquarters and come to us for a visit!" At this time, Serov's confidential secretary Servanov pushed the door and reported.
"Go back first, Kadpov!" A trace of confusion flashed on Serov's face and said, "What is Brezhnev coming to Lubyanka?" Isn't this time to celebrate my return to the post of secretary of the Central Committee?
With this confusion, Serov got up to prepare for the report, when he saw that Brezhnev had already entered, followed by Chernenko, the head of the Secretariat of the Supreme Soviet.
"Yura, I'm just free today, so come to Lubyanka to have a look, I don't know if our KGB chairman welcomes me or not?" Brezhnev still wore that gentle smile, as if he had returned to the post of secretary of the Central Committee, and did not make the giant, who had already become the number one in the Soviet Union, happy.
"Of course welcome, please be seated, Chairman Brezhnev!" Serov's smile was also very sincere, at this time he must not show the groove in his heart, what Brezhnev wanted to do, he just listened. Semichasny's unjustified pretense that he couldn't learn, and he didn't look at who was on the other side?
"Yura, you became the top leader of the security agency at the age of thirty-six, and we can see the trust of the first secretary in you!" Brezhnev looked around with a smile, then saw a book on Serov's desk and asked, "What is this?" β
"A book on Soviet studies written by Western scholars, I'll see if any new ideas have come out!" Serov replied with a straight face, "But it seems that I have not learned anything at the moment, and it is still those old-fashioned arguments. To evolve the USSR through this doctrine is a dream! β
During the Cold War, Soviet studies in the West formed a large and complex system, which had a profound impact on the development of Western political science and international relations theory. The complex symbiotic relationship between Western Soviet studies and political theories constitutes a two-way interaction and pluralistic synergy. However, due to the fact that the real "core" theory used by Western Soviet studies is actually only the Sovietized totalitarian model, therefore, in the case of the extreme lack of information and materials in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, Western Soviet studies can only actively borrow and absorb multidisciplinary theories other than Soviet studies and constantly expand their "extension" in order to enrich their own content and improve their explanatory power on practical problems.
In the process of development, Soviet studies gradually departed from the original theory of extremity and formed a richer content. However, in many cases, this method of theoretical-first research will appear to be sufficient, and this will cause the negative effect of Western Soviet scholars in the face of the ever-changing reality of the Soviet Union.
"Why don't you call some people from the cultural world to study and refute together?" Brezhnev rolled his eyes and proposed, "So that we can refute face-to-face and prove that our country is not in trouble." β
"Those people in the cultural circles, to be honest, are not trustworthy, I better study it myself, and the province will bring in the fifth column." Serov said noncommittally, "These Western scholars claim to be Soviet experts, but in fact they don't know about us, and they are not a big threat, in fact, I am also ready to provide funding for Soviet researchers, the stronger this kind of pig teammates, the more beneficial it is to our work!"
