To say that among the four people, Khrushchev's qualifications are actually the lowest, Molotov, Malenkov and Kaganovich have a status far above Khrushchev in different periods, but in just three or four years after Stalin's death, Khrushchev first killed Beria, and then marginalized the three people, especially Stalin's successor Malenkov has the deepest understanding of this, in the centralization of power before Stalin's death, the chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR himself has more real power than the general secretary, Now it is completely unable to resist the orders of the Secretariat.

Among the three people, the deepest city government is naturally Molotov, and it is also because of believing in Molotov's skills that the other two will abandon their respective suspicions, especially Kaganovich's appearance in Malenkov's villa this time, which is completely beyond Malenkov's expectations, at least in Malenkov's heart, Kaganovich and Khrushchev's decades-long working partner should not be on the side of the two of them, but he didn't expect Molotov to say that this person was moved.

"Everyone is a colleague, so don't talk about it!" Molotov, as the leader, said calmly, "Khrushchev has now become an absolute authority, I believe everyone understands it, as long as he implements the policy now, even if we fiercely oppose it, it will not help, he will still implement it arbitrarily, and in the long run, I am afraid that we can only become an echo worm......

"Khrushchev? The only person he feared was Beria! Malenkov snorted coldly and said, "Back then, it was the support of the Red Army behind me that made Beria have some scruples, otherwise it would have been Khrushchev's arrogance today......"

At the mention of Beria, the three of them fell into a brief silence, and Beria was not only Khrushchev who was afraid. Even the three of them, who wouldn't be afraid? If it weren't for the fact that several marshals of the Red Army were extremely disgusted with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's a pity to let them face Beria alone, maybe they don't even have the courage to challenge.

"Well, we're talking about Khrushchev, Beria is dead, and there's no point in dwelling on the previous countermeasures! The point is, what do we do now? Molotov felt that Malenkov still did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and said in a low voice, "Malenkov, in fact, we all know that you are the heir of Comrade Stalin. Khrushchev actually knew! You wouldn't think he'd always be able to tolerate you continuing to be in front of him, would you? ”

"Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China last year, Khrushchev has begun to oppose Stalin's position and promoted many cadres!" Molotov continued, "According to the current process, once he feels assured, it will be time to replace us, Malenkov, Kaganovich, and when the day comes, we will have no ability to resist......"

Khrushchev's anti-Stalin really touched the nerves of several of them, and this kind of behavior of cutting off the past was for them, important cadres of the Stalin era. It's a signal that is obvious. You must know that they are all important cadres promoted by Stalin, since Khrushchev can oppose Stalin's line. Naturally, these people are also in opposition, and it is only a matter of time before they step down.

"There is still a month until the next presidium meeting!" Kaganovich, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

Molotov and Malenkov were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up, Kaganovich deserved to be Khrushchev's superior for decades, and he really had some ability. Kaganovich's idea was actually similar to that of the two of them, which was to remove Khrushchev from his post at the time of the meeting of the Central Presidium.

Nominally speaking, Molotov, Malenkov, and Kaganovich are all party, state, and state leaders on the same level as Khrushchev, and once the three of them attack at the same time, the other members of the Presidium of the Central Committee will certainly feel a shock in their hearts, and perhaps under the pressure of the three of them together, the effect of forming a wall and pushing everyone down, after all, the three vice chairmen of the Council of Ministers standing together are enough to cause a sensational effect.

At their level, after so many years of fighting in the system, there is no need for any alliance on the scene, and the point of speaking can be stopped, through Kaganovich's words, the two have determined that this Khrushchev's old superior, and now they are on their side, and this time the anti-Herzegov group has added another heavyweight to join.

On the other hand, Serov was still leading the inspection team, going deep into the major prisons of the Soviet Forte, digging out the dark side of the Soviet Union, and staying in Azerbaijan for a few days, the inspection team left for Kazakhstan again, and when it arrived in Uzbekistan, the inspection team could embark on the return journey.

The Uzbeks are the largest ethnic minority in the Soviet Union except for the Slavic language family, although it is said that ethnic equality is also based on the principle of self-centeredness, and the Soviet leadership does not exclude minority leaders, but it will not allow ethnic minorities to have centrifugal tendencies.

Central Asia, like the Caucasus, is the KGB focus on monitoring the area, Kazakhstan is better, for Kazakhstan, the Soviet Union adopted the strategy of mixing sand, the original belonging to Russia and several Russian oblasts into the administration of Kazakhstan, so that Russians and Kazakhs mixed, Kazakhs themselves are the most enlightened people in Central Asia, through the method of Russification of Kazakhs, you can solve most of the problems in Central Asia.

The Uzbeks are the largest ethnic group in Central Asia, and in dealing with the Uzbeks, the Soviet Union deliberately blurred the border between Uzbekistan and Tajikistan when demarcating the borders of the republics, and included some Tajiks living in the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

After entering the Caucasus, the comrades of the apparent fifth division of the inspection team took on the main task, the Soviet Union was officially an atheist, and the treatment of religion was strictly controlled, but there were loopholes in any defense, and the gathering places of the Slavic peoples were well said that the entire Orthodox Church was completely suppressed, but in the Caucasus and Central Asia, religion still widely affected all aspects of the lives of the local people, so the local psychiatric hospital was obviously different from what Serov saw in Georgia, The local psychiatric hospital is full of sincere believers, and if I want to use the word for posterity, it would be extremist religious elements.

Serov has no opinion on these people, and it cannot be said that he has no sympathy, but after all, this is in conflict with atheists, and in the environment of the entire state of the Soviet Union, the Orthodox Church and the Green Religion should be believers, and once the forces of the two religions are not in harmony, it will definitely be a huge disaster, so the policy implemented by the Soviet Union now is absolutely correct, not only to fight the Orthodox Church of the Slavs, but also to the Green Religion in Central Asia and the Caucasus,

Since the beliefs of both sides are not the same, then it is not at all a problem to fight the beliefs of both sides at the same time. Anyway, the Russians are even more at a loss, and since they haven't said anything, then the other nationalities had better shut up.

After the formation of Uzbekistan, the inspection team completed its mission and started its return, the last stop before returning to Moscow was Kazan prison, in fact, the largest prison in Russia is not in Moscow, but in the distant Kazan, which is the prison with the largest number of prisoners, Kazan prison concentrates three prison forms in the Soviet Union, from prisons to labor camps to psychiatric hospitals, and prisoners from Russia, Ukraine, and even the three Baltic countries are stationed every day. There are also internal affairs troops stationed around the Kazan prison to prevent riots.

The crimes of the prisoners in the Kazan prison were very complex, and in addition to the criminal offenses, the comrades of almost all departments of the Serov inspection team could find their own specialty, religious elements, public intellectuals, university students who had escaped from the development of wasteland, Stalinists, and in fact, there was one less kind of person, that is, the Trotskyites of the Stalin period.

After Khrushchev's secret report at the 20th National Congress, the Trotskyists, as a group representing unjust cases, had been released by Khrushchev as a political achievement. So there was a scene in the prison that made Serov scratch his head, and all the Trotskyites had been released, and instead a large number of Stalinists had been arrested and thrown into the Kazan prison.

"What the hell is this nonsense, is Khrushchev really taking revenge on Stalin because of the death of his son?" Serov was wondering why Khrushchev did this. One can only guess from grapevine and conspiracy theories that maybe Khrushchev was really avenging his son and erasing all traces of Stalin in the Soviet Union.

"How many prisoners are there in Kazan prison?" Serov turned his head and asked the warden next to him, the warden of this kind of heavy prison is actually not lower than Serov, in fact, it is not low, and the warden is also a major general, but due to the difference in the work of the two, the treatment of both sides on formal occasions is not as high as that of them at the KGB headquarters.

"If you include the labor brigade and the mentally ill below, we have almost 100,000 prisoners in Kazan prison!" The prison warden said without humility or arrogance, "There are 40,000 people in the prison, more than 40,000 people in the labor camp, and more than 10,000 mentally ill people......

This number is worthy of the title of the largest prison in Russia, at least in Serov's opinion, the number of prisoners is enough. That is, one in nine prisoners in the country is held in Kazan prisons.

"General, we've found a special place!" While Serov was still chatting, a comrade of the inspection team suddenly rushed over and said, "We have found an unusual situation in a brigade in the 13th prison district......" (To be continued......
