Chapter 604: Cultural Publishing
"However, it is not a little unmanageable, Solzhenitsyn is a great writer after all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Zinev was just completely forced by Serov, and if he had a choice, he didn't want to do anything to this well-known person.
Serov, who was wiping his hands with a towel, stopped his movements, and said with an unchanged face, "That's what the KGB does, do we still care about some accusations for the sake of some so-called public opinion?" Comrade Dzerzhinsky was a Polish nobleman back then, so did he keep his hand on the White Russians at that time? Comrade Stalin studied at the seminary, why did he purge religion? ”
"As long as we think it's right, don't care what other people think, the KGB is such a department, if you already have doubts about this, I suggest you take a month off before coming back to work." As he spoke, Serov picked up the walkie-talkie and beckoned someone to come in, take the special medicine away, and at the same time have Solzhenitsyn take him to the hospital.
There were only two powerful people left in the entire interrogation room, Serov and Zinev, in this small space. Two KGB giants, personally carried out a task that in the thirties could only be considered benevolent.
"Revolution is not a dinner party, you can sit down and talk about it. In this world, our comrades are hanged every day, the enemy is doing this, and we are doing it at the same time, but we are dealing with the opposite crowd. People like Solzhenitsyn are harmful to the country, so they must be resolutely eliminated. Serov thought for a moment, and then called Zvigon in, maybe having a friend of Zinev that could give this Brezhnev close friend some security.
Give some of the original materials of the Gulag Archipelago to Zvigon and tell him to destroy them as soon as he sees them. Serov left the interrogation room, and Tsvigon was a veteran writer and an excellent author of spy novels. Among the books published by the Ministry of Culture, there are only fewer than Serov, but they are full of gold, and these materials can be seen by Tsvigon.
It's actually good to have hobbies, and the province always comes to trouble him. Serov is considering a new KGB film every year that will be released, and Tsvigon will be a consultant. Spread out some of Zvigon's time, anyway, the other party is always in Lubyanka with the style of a writer, and in that case, let him do what he likes.
"Chairman, some writers in the cultural world have learned that Solzhenitsyn has been arrested, and now that he has become like this, what should we do." Tsvigon thought that he and Serov had a common language, because a certain unscrupulous KGB chairman took advantage of his wife's relationship with Fortseva and every year published some of the private goods that he had seen in later generations, as well as the experience of being picked up by his police uncle, and became the KGB's most prolific writer. Serov and Tsvigon were both registered members of the Soviet Writers' Union, but one must not think that the Writers' Union was very good, and by this year there were already 7,000 members.
"Two hours later, there will be a reception for the Writers' Guild to explain the situation, and both of you will be with me." Serov glanced at Zinev and Zvigon, and of course ordered.
The Soviet Writers' Association was an official institution organized by the Soviet government, and in it there were many dissident elements, and these writers, who enjoyed the treatment provided by the Soviet Union, and then had nothing to do with pointing fingers at the Soviet Union and pretending to have a conscience, cannot be said to have no in the Writers' Association. At least the group of people in front of me is.
In fact, it was not difficult to deal with these writers, and later Comrade Yeltsin, on the pretext of government spending pressure, dissolved the Soviet Writers' Association, so that these people could live a comfortable life and be pampered, knowing that they would be idle and have nothing to do to make trouble for the Soviet Union. In democratic Russia, they enjoyed the treatment of picking up garbage, and many writers stopped writing and changed careers, engaging in business, university jobs, and other activities.
After all, people have to eat, and even survival has become a problem, so how can they create? In such a situation, how can any writer have the leisure to find trouble with the government? But Serov couldn't do that, even though he wanted to force them to work in factories.
"How do I think these people fit the special class defined by the former first secretary?" Serov's eyes did not take off these well-dressed men, tilting his head to talk to Tsvigon next to him.
"There are some writers who really need to improve." Tsvigon immediately took over the topic and started a discussion with Serov among cultural people, of course, it was useless for the two of them to discuss, and this matter was ultimately decided by Suslov.
After waiting for a while, Serov talked about Solzhenitsyn on behalf of the KGB, first directly admitted that the KGB's seizure of the new world was real, and then also brought Solzhenitsyn back to the Lubyanka for questioning, and finally changed the conversation, saying that in the process of questioning, Solzhenitsyn was in a coma because of emotional agitation, and has been sent to the hospital for treatment.
"First of all, I must admit that Comrade Solzhenitsyn is a fierce man, and he is quite dissatisfied with our accusations, accusing us of being the dictatorship of the government, and I will not deny this. Then I must say that whatever the final outcome of Solzhenitsyn's coma, I can already expect that you will blame the KGB. Serov said to himself with a nonchalant face, while taking the reactions of the people below into his mind, "After all, the incident was made in the rubyanka, and we will not deny it." ”
Serov's statement portrayed Solzhenitsyn as a man of letters. This image is also very acceptable. It just touched the high point of these writers, and these public intellectuals still ate this set. At the same time, the direct admission that Solzhenitsyn's life was in danger in the rubyanka shows that the KGB will not shirk responsibility, and these people in the province spread rumors to attack the rubyyanka.
"Won't we deal with the anti-rebel workers who questioned Comrade Solzhenitsyn and give an explanation to Comrade Solzhenitsyn's family?" One of the writers below stood up and accused.
"Alexander? Aleksandrovich? Zinoviev, a close friend of Solzhenitsyn, an anti-Soviet who gave us countless troubles. Tsvigon, who was familiar with the people of the Soviet Writers' Association, reminded Serov on the side.
"The socialist social system of the Soviet Union is dynamic and has the potential for continuous development and improvement. The Brezhnev period was the most powerful period of the Soviet Union, due to the betrayal of Gotu and Yeltsin, Russian communism collapsed, and Russia lost its superpower status and went into full decline. ”
It's him? Serov's eyelids drooped, a name he had heard, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, like many writers who were respected in the Soviet era, he was thrown into the garbage heap by Yeltsin. A large number of people began to write articles praising socialism again, and for these people, what did they do before the child died? Do you think your country will be resurrected?
"There's no need to deal with it!" Serov met Zinoviev's angry gaze and said coldly, "The police did not do anything personally, and Solzhenitsyn himself was excited and thought that we had insulted him, should I shoot the staff who did not make a mistake?" Give him an explanation? The laws of the Soviets do not stipulate it, he himself is angry, and we are still responsible, right? ”
"Since you talked about the law, why did you bring Solzhenitsyn to the Lubyanka." Another writer stood up and asked.
"According to Article 190 of the Criminal Code of the USSR, which has just been adopted, I can, of course, do this." Serov read Article 190 of the Criminal Law without hurrying, and looking at the wonderful performances of these writers, I believe that now they all understand that the era when they could say whatever they wanted is gone.
"Regarding the matter of Solzhenitsyn, this is what it is, we have a legal basis, but in view of the physical condition of Comrade Solzhenitsyn, I am willing to make an exception, on behalf of the State Security Committee of the USSR, to apologize to Solzhenitsyn himself, hoping that he will recover physically, but remember one thing, only this once, I do not think that there is anything wrong with our comrades." Serov coughed and said with a fearless look, "Regarding exchanges in the cultural circles, in accordance with the spirit of Comrade Suslov's instructions, we are willing to use the power of the state to find a publication channel for your works, so that people all over the world can see your works. ”
In the days that followed, some people in the Ministry of Culture and the Soviet Writers' Association appeared to accuse the KGB of having come out with Solzhenitsyn's diagnostic report and that his brain had been severely damaged, and some began to accuse the KGB of not treating writers with a rough attitude. At the same time, some people questioned the time when the KGB sent Solzhenitsyn to the hospital, believing that the KGB delayed Solzhenitsyn's treatment. The situation of the day should be investigated,
"Investigate us? I'd like to see who has the right to investigate us, to immediately find the source of the rumors, and arrest them......" Hearing Tsvigon's words, Serov said nonchalantly, "At least they have accepted our statement, and that's fine, isn't it Comrade Zinev?" "These rumors were simply released by Serov himself, and he knows that the most effective way to resist rumors is actually to create rumors before others.
"Okay, chairman, there is also the channel of contact with the publication in Western countries, Comrade Suslov and Comrade Brezhnev have some opinions, and I think that your public announcement is a bit hasty." Zvigon then moved on to another issue.
"The Writers' Association has a total of 7,000 members, each of whom produces two works a year, that is, more than 10,000 works, and we select at least 10,000 works that praise socialism, and all of them are sent to the West or the United States for publication. Surely not, the enemy will only publish works that are not good for us. Serov laughed, "When these works are returned, you can write insulting comments in them, denouncing them as falsehoods, mouthpieces." (To be continued.) )
