Little Warlord 539, Little Warlord Chapter 539 Kronstadt Confrontation

Kronstadt, Russia.

The local party organization of the Bolshevik regime quickly collapsed, and from 3 August a large number of party members and probationary party members made statements in the press, in which they expressed their deep disappointment with the Russian Communist Party.

All the members of the battleship "Petropavlovsk", 41 party organizations in Kronstadt completely collapsed, and a total of 900 people quit the Russian Communist Party, many of whom were old members of the October Revolution of 1917. The human heart has been lost to such an extent!

All of these propositions were published in the Provisional Revolutionary Committee's Izvestia, which began on 3 August, and in the 14 issues of the Provisional Revolutionary Committee, which had been published since 3 August, and it was in this publication that the Provisional Revolutionary Committee issued its first two orders, namely, that the Committee's instructions must be fully fulfilled and that they should not leave Kronstadt without the permission of the Committee.

At this time, the local party organization of the Bolshevik regime quickly collapsed, and from August 3 a large number of party members and probationary party members made statements in the press, in which they expressed their deep disappointment with the Russian Communist Party. All the members of the battleship "Petropavlovsk", 41 party organizations in Kronstadt completely collapsed, and a total of 900 people quit the Russian Communist Party, many of whom were old members of the October Revolution of 1917. The human heart has been lost to such an extent!

On August 2, three important leaders of Kronstadt, members of the Communist Party of Russia, Chairman of the People's Committee of the Ministry of Food Ilyin, People's Commissar of the Ministry of Labor Pervushin, and Chairman of the Trade Union Committee Kabanov established the Provisional Bureau of the Kronstadt Organization of the Russian Communist Party. On 3 August, they published an appeal in the newspaper Dyneficia di Vicious of the Provisional Revolutionary Committee, "calling on all Party members to stick to their posts and not to impose any obstruction of the measures taken by the Provisional Committee." This appeal had a great impact on the party members at that time.

On 3 August, the Provisional Revolutionary Committee received a warning from the Petrograd Committee of the Soviets, demanding an immediate cessation of the "sāo movement," the release of the arrested party members, and the calling out of the masterminds of the incident. The Interim Committee made the warning public. With the consent of the military and civilians, the demands of the Petrograd side were refused. The Petrograd side then made a new proposal, and they sent representatives to Kronstadt to learn about the differences between the two sides, but the Kronstadts thought it was a hoax, because the sailors' proposal had made it clear before, but agreed that they should send representatives, but the delegation had to be freely elected by the Petrograd factories and troops under the supervision of Kronstadt, and this reply was not answered.

On August 4, Kronstadt held a meeting of 202 people for love. Due to the busy schedule, 10 additional members were elected, most of them from sailors and staff. These pathological participants carefully concealed their partisan affiliation, and it was difficult to determine the partisanship of the Provisional Revolutionary Committee.

After the meeting, the Provisional Revolutionary Committee made a clear internal division of labor, and the work of the editorial department, the work of civic affairs, the issue of jiāo, the question of the reconnaissance force, and the mén of the Ministry of Food were all in charge of the corresponding person. At first, they thought that the government would not be tough on suppression, but as the attitude of the government became clearer, the military defense began to be strengthened.

On the night of August 3, the Defence Command was formed, and at the same time, the most important military experts in Kronstadt organized the Military Council for Defence, on August 6. The Defense Command held an important military meeting, assigned defensive tasks, and proposed to seize Oranienbaum and Sestroretsk and expand the base of the uprising before the offensive of the political army, but the Provisional Revolutionary Council rejected this important proposal and limited military operations to defense. 2,000 naval units were transferred to various fortifications to strengthen the defenses.

While actively preparing for the military, the Provisional Revolutionary Committee intensified its propaganda offensive. Winning over those who were still wavering, in the newspaper Izvestia they appealed: "The struggle against the Bolsheviks and the power in the fortresses they hold cannot be carried out only halfway, but to the end without compromise." Victory or death! ”。

On 4 August, the Provisional Revolutionary Council issued a circular to the Kronstadt sailors, "Kronstadt is at a critical juncture in the struggle for freedom. Every minute there is a risk of an offensive from the Bolsheviks, who are trying to capture Kronstadt and put us back under their regime, which will only bring hunger, cold and collapse. Each and every one of us will fight resolutely for the freedom we have achieved, and will not call out Kronstadt; If they try to use force to achieve their goals. We will resolutely fight back. ”…,

This was the general course of the famous Kronstadt sailors' uprising in the history of the Soviet Union, the harsh wartime policy of the Bolsheviks after coming to power was the underlying cause of the incident, and the general strike in Petrograd in February 1921 was the trigger. The Bolsheviks had promised free elections when they came to power in the October Revolution, but now they found themselves deceived, and the Bolsheviks had firmly grasped power and established their own set of things as a dictatorship of the proletariat, so the brave Kronstadts once again showed the courage to make a free revolution. And what awaits them is an even more terrible ruthless suppression and strangulation of the political fǔ!

When the discontent of the Bōlo Sea Fleet was high, the Russian government was attentive and sent a large number of agents to keep an eye on the fortress, point out suspicious figures, and compile information to inform the highest authorities.

Some 2,554 people were registered, suspected of participating in so-called counter-revolutionary activities, and were censored. The Russian regime thought that it would be able to control the fortress and prevent the spread of discontent by using such spy methods.

But these measures did not stop the uprising. The actions of the two battleships on 28 July alarmed the highest echelons of the Soviet Union, and on 28 July, Trotsky, the second leader of the Soviet Union, who was then chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, personally telephoned Petrograd to inquire about the matter. In the absence of a clear understanding of the world, the leadership of this regime, with the intuition of a three-year civil war, believed that the events in Kronstadt were linked to political opposition and foreign imperialism.

During the Kronstadt rebellion, the press published a political notice entitled "The New White Guard Scheme," which stated that the Kronstadt incident was "undoubtedly carried out by the French counterintelligence services."

However, this is a lie, an excuse for repression. ”

In the middle of the night on July 28, Zinoviev, chairman of the Petrograd Defense Committee, in a secret telegram to Lenin, described the resolution of the two battleships as a "resolution of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party gangsters". On August 1 Trotsky telegraphed Botis again. Remind them to take the incident seriously and report back every 12 hours.

On August 1, at the same time as the Kronstadt people were holding a rally, the Kronstadt Party Committee of the Russian Communist Party also met to discuss the possibility of armed repression, and it was concluded that they were incompetent. At 3:30 a.m. on 2 August, Kalinin, Zinoviev and Rashevich sent a telegram to Trotsky requesting reinforcements.

On 2 August, the Petrograd Military District Command ordered the 187th Brigade, consisting of a cavalry company, an infantry battalion, an artillery platoon and a command company of Pedergovs, to seize Oranienbaum. The arrest of all the members of the 1st Ship Group Command stationed here, who were prepared to support the Kronstadt, gave the government control of the only access from Kronstadt to Petrograd.

On 2 August, the Soviet Petrograd Committee officially condemned the Kronstadt incident as a counter-revolutionary, a very impeachment charge, and demanded the immediate surrender of the Kronstadts, but the brave Kronstadts refused. On the same day, the Committee of Labor and Defense issued a proclamation signed by Lenin and Trotsky, declaring the event "the conspiracy of the new White Guards." The rebellion launched by the old Russian generals Kozlovsky and the warship Petropavlovsk", the Kronstadt people adopted a reasonable resolution that was condemned as a manifesto of the "ultra-reactionary, socialist-revolutionary party".

Due to the powerful propaganda of the Bolsheviks for a long time. The Russian masses had a general psychological aversion to Tsarist Russia and imperialism, and the fact that the incident was a conspiracy of the White Guards, and that the former Russian generals and leaders were able to continue to ignore the public eye, of course, also found a legal basis for the ruthless repression measures taken by Soviet Russia later.

In Soviet Russia, the Labor and Defense Committee made the following three decisions: Russian General Kozlovsky and his accomplices were not protected by law; 2. Declaring martial law in Petrograd City and Petrograd Province; 3. Transfer of all power in the Petrograd Defense District to the Petrograd Defense Committee.

According to the decision, on the evening of August 4, Kozlowski's family, his wife, one NV and four children were arrested. Subsequently, all relatives of the leaders involved in the events in Kronstadt were arrested and taken hostage.

On the same day, the National Defense Committee issued a circular "warning to the mutineers", meaning that their families were arrested to rescue the detained Bolshevik Party members, and if these comrades were missing a hair, the fùnv and the children would fall to the ground. …,

The leader of the mutiny, the Provisional Revolutionary Council, immediately replied by wireless telegram:

They would have released the seized Bolsheviks within 24 hours, "the garrison did not want to follow the example of the Petrograd Committee, because in their opinion." Even in the midst of extreme hatred, such arrests are the most shameless and despicable! ”

This kind of practice that harms the NV family and is full of mén beheading at every turn is something that only the Orientalists can do.

On 3 August, the Petrograd Defense Committee issued an order imposing martial law on the Petrograd defense district, effectively blocking news from Kronstadt.

With Trotsky's constant urging, the top leadership of the Soviet Union saw the contents of the Kronstadt resolution, and they must have known quite well that this time it was not the Entente or the White Guards as they imagined. It was not even a conspiracy of the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks, but a solid, spontaneous mutiny against the Bolsheviks. But the highest authorities still ignore these basic human rights and maintain a brutal repression of the insurgents from the beginning to the end.

With Trotsky's constant urging. The top leadership of the Soviet Union saw the contents of the Kronstadt resolution, and they must have known quite well that this time it was not the Entente, the White Guards, or even the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks, as they had imagined, but a solid, spontaneous mutiny against the Bolsheviks. However, the highest authorities continued to ignore these basic human rights requirements and maintained a brutal repression of the insurgents, and on the evening of August 3, Trotsky, Kamenev, Tukhachevsky, and Debenko went to Petrograd to directly lead the repression. On the one hand, the blockade of information, and on the other hand, the military deployment of large-scale and brutal repression has been completed.

At 14 o'clock on August 15, Soviet Russia issued a final proclamation, and an ultimatum at 18 o'clock on August 6.

A tragic tragedy of history was about to take place, and the Soviet leadership, having clearly understood Kronstadt's reasonable demands, brandished the butcher's knife.

The demand for "re-election of the Soviets" was enough for the party to kill them completely
