Who wants to face real life
and not enslaved by life
No one should hide in lies
Go and find the comfort of hypocrisy
That night, Uranoyan drank for the first time, and on the last page of his diary, he wrote these few lines of poetry and his last words: "The world needs order, does this mean that man must be like a tree by the roadside without dignity, without thought, without soul? Who are we? Where did we come from, where are we going, if it is not our choice to live, if we live without love, why should we live absurdly? ”
The next day, there was little foreboding. On the campus of Moscow State University, everything is so peaceful and quiet, and the big wall clock on the school's famous bell tower is ringing in the same rhythm as before. Although the north wind makes the air a little chilly, the sun makes people warm in their hearts. Couples on the campus road are holding hands unscrupulously, talking and laughing.
When Lenin was speaking on the rostrum, Ouranoyan stood in the front row, and in his arms, there was a Browning pistol. Behind Uranoyan, there was a girl with short hair, dressed in a floral cloth skirt, with plump breasts, a slender waist, and two slender legs that trembled gently in the wind, and they approached a birch tree. Later, Uranoyan learned that the girl's name was Fanny. Yefimovna. Kaplan, only 16 years old, was born into a Jewish family in the Volyn province of Ukraine.
On the same day, Bukharin urged Lenin not to speak at a rally at Moscow University. Lenin's wife, Nadezhda. Konstantinovna. Krupskaya also said: "The situation in Moscow has been very serious lately, and it is better not to talk about it." Lenin was also about to cancel his speech, when Sverdlov, the "number two" of the Bolsheviks, interjected: "Comrades, can we not hide from now on!" Lenin decided to proceed with the original plan, but strangely enough, Sverdlov, who was in charge of the city defense headquarters and the guard station, did not send guards to Lenin that day.
Lenin's speech, which was primarily a justification of the actions of the "Cheka". After the Bolsheviks took control of Moscow, they carried out a purge in which thousands of people were executed by the Cheka, including shopkeepers who resisted confiscation, civil servants hired by the tsarist government, reactionaries of the aristocratic class who openly opposed the Cheka, officers of the Cossack White Army, and counter-revolutionary journalists. Lenin waved his fists and passionately shouted to the crowd: "The birth of a new world is indispensable for torture and blood!" To suppress the chaos, a strong and brutal regime is needed. That regime is our basement. The Cheka's thirst for blood is a must......"
At the end of Lenin's speech, Alexandra. Mikhailovna. Kollontai stepped forward to talk to her, and as Lenin answered her words, three gunshots rang out at the scene. The first shot hit Lenin in the left shoulder, the second hit him in the left chest and through the neck, and the third hit Kollentai, who was talking to him. Lenin clutched his chest and collapsed. Fell in a pool of blood, blood flowed out of his chest, the scene exuded the smell of blood, and there were timid female students crying at the scene.
At that time, there was a lot of talk about Lenin's bloody remarks, and there was a noise around them, when gunshots rang out. No one heard it at all, and it was only when Lenin fell that the crowd was suddenly frozen in fear, and a moment later people began to flee in all directions screaming.
Ouranoyan was in the crowd, also confused, the pistol in his arms did not go off, he did not shoot, could it be that he was not the only one who wanted to kill Lenin? He didn't think much of it. Quickly fled the scene with the panicked crowd. If the Cheka had found a Browning pistol in his arms, he would have been shot without trial.
The crowd scattered like a plague, except for Fanny. Yefimovna. Standing still, arranging his shoelaces in place, and then squinting his eyes like a highly short-sighted man and looking into the darkness, Kaplan joined the revolution early and began to taste the heaviness and pain of his life behind bars. Lost part of his hearing and sight in prison.
Baturin, assistant to the political commissar of the Soviet infantry division, looked around and found Kaplan standing alone under a birch tree not far away, and saw her holding a broken leather bag in one hand and an umbrella in the other. Baturin ran over. After searching her, Kaplan did not resist. He didn't find anything suspicious in this woman, but he finally asked: "Why did you shoot Comrade Lenin?" Kaplan doesn't say anything. The people who rushed to her looked at her, and Baturin cried out: 'That's her! That's the shot she fired! And just like that, Kaplan was arrested by the Cheka's men.
After Lenin collapsed in a pool of blood, his driver Hill picked Lenin into the car and prepared to take Lenin to the hospital. ”
So, Hill turned around and sped away towards the Kremlin. After several sad doctors' diagnosis, it was found that a bullet had hit Lenin in the neck, but it was not life-threatening. But later, the treating doctor Obuch wrote: "If the bullet deviates by one millimeter, Vladimir. Ilyich must have died. ”
After Lenin's assassination, the first to rush to the Kremlin was Sverdlov, the "number two" of the Bolsheviks, who occupied Lenin's office that night and declared a state of emergency for the Bolsheviks, under his command of the Council of People's Commissars, the Party Central Committee and the All-Russian Central Executive Committee.
As soon as Lenin's wife Krupskaya saw Sverdlov, she seemed to understand something: "It's over, it's all over." She silently prayed in her heart that Lenin would wake up.
"No. 2" Sverdlov immediately announced that the leader of the Cheka, Felix. Edmondovich. Dzerzhinsky, because he did not prevent Lenin's assassination, announced that Dzerzhinsky was relieved of his post, and the Cheka was put in the hands of Yurovsky, who immediately interrogated Lenin's murderer, Fanny. Yefimovna. Kaplan.
After Kaplan's capture, the Cheka was held in a temporary special felon prison in the Kremlin compound. At midnight, Yurovsky led the men to open the big iron lock on the door of Kaplan's cell, and the shaft of the heavy and huge iron door made a muffled sound like a mixer, and the Kremlin guard chief shouted: 'Prisoner Kaplan, come to the door!' Kaplan struggled to move towards the door, her face pale, her hair a little unkempt, and her feet already heavily shackled.
Inspector Kintiesep stood beside Yurovsky and asked Kaplan: "Say quickly, why are you shooting at Comrade Lenin, the leader of the All-Russian Soviets?" Who was behind the scenes or the mastermind behind Lenin's assassination? ”
Kaplan trembled and whispered, "What did you say?" I can't hear you. ”
Kintisep shouted loudly and slowly into her ear: "You...... Why should you ...... Comrade Lenin, leader of the All-Russian Soviets...... Shoot? Who is behind the scenes? ”
Kaplan then realized that she had been arrested for the assassination of Comrade Lenin, the leader of the All-Russian Soviets, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know. I'm not going to shoot. ”
Inspector Gindiesep was about to record Kaplan's confession with a quill in his hand, when Yurovsky snatched his pen and threw it on the ground, "Don't be in a hurry to remember, ask quickly, this crazy woman must have an accomplice." ”
Gingiesep asked aloud: "Who are your accomplices?" ”
Kaplan still shook his head and said, "I'm not going to shoot." My eyes ......"
Yurovsky held a leather whip in his hand, whipped her in the face, and scolded: "This son of a bitch's breed doesn't need to be punished, she won't be recruited." ”
The next day, Cheka really captured Kaplan's comrade Novikov, who is said to have changed into a sailor's sea soul shirt that day, and was responsible for blocking the crowd during Lenin's speech and covering Kaplan's shooting at Lenin. Novikov refused to confess at first, until he saw Kaplan being pushed into the cage of two vicious dogs by the Cheka's men, bitten into a bloody flesh and blood, and unrecognizable, that he trembled and wrote the confession: "Kaplan and Novikov I stayed together, and then I asked Kaplan to act, and then reported the results to me." I myself was waiting for news in a residential house in Moscow. About twenty minutes later, I heard several gunshots, I couldn't remember if they were three or five, and I went to meet Kaplan in the crowd. She took a cigarette from the purse she was carrying, lit it and smoked it. At this time, I saw a Red Army soldier who recognized her as Lenin's assassin and ran up to her and grabbed her. I fled the scene. ”
Kaplan had a comrade, and the assassination of Lenin seemed to make sense. On the third day, Yurovsky took this confession and went to communicate with the "number two" Sverdlov. Entering the office, Yurovsky handed over the confession, Sverdlov looked at it, and threw it in Yurovsky's face with a "snap": "Bastard, what about Kaplan's motive for the crime?" ”
"Kaplan is now in a coma," Yurovsky said. There is no motive for confession! ”
Sverdlov said: "Comrade Yurovsky, it is not very important whether there is a confession or not. I just want one result. You are smart people and you should know what to do. ”
Yurovsky immediately straightened up and asked in a low voice: "Comrade Sverdlov, Kaplan admitted during his interrogation that the Constituent Assembly considered Lenin to have betrayed the revolution and that his actions had deviated from society. isms for decades, so to assassinate him. Or for Kaplan to finally confess that she was a hitman sent by British spies or a terrorist assigned by the Right Socialist-Revolutionary. What do you think of the motive for such a crime? ”
Sverdlov did not answer directly, but said: "I hope this case will be closed today." ”
Yurovsky said: "Guaranteed completion of the task." ”
As a result, Kaplan was shot three days after his arrest. The scene of the execution, right inside the Kremlin, not far from the Alexander Garden. A light truck was driving at the time, and the gunfire of the execution was drowned out by the roar of the truck's motor. After Kaplan's death, her body was not buried, but was stuffed into an iron bucket, doused with gasoline and incinerated.
When Uranoyan read the Bolsheviks' announcement of Lenin's assassination in the newspapers, he suddenly felt that there was no historical truth in this absurd world. (To be continued.)
