The old revolution withered
June 9, 1965. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
June is the most comfortable season in Moscow, it's not too cold and not too hot, it's the best time of the year in the city.
The perimeter of Red Square has been completely decorated with a sea of red, and a grand military parade in honor of the second anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War is about to begin. Through the lens of the camera, the people of the Soviet Union can see the new government on the walls of the Kremlin. The government has been in their rightful place.
I will say where it should be, because on this solemn and heavy occasion, everyone's position is carefully designed, sorted in strict accordance with identity and status, and no step can be messed up.
One of the most in the core is also the middle. The position of the central government belongs to two people, one is the outgoing president of the Soviet Union, the military officer. Chairman of the Committee, General Secretary of the Party. Remember Andrey. Petrovich. This man who has stood on the top of the pyramid of power in the Soviet Union for more than 15 years will say his final goodbyes to the country, the people and the party he loves on this day. At the General Assembly a month ago, he declined the term of the new one. The Central Committee of the Central Committee insisted on retiring in accordance with the traditions of Lenin's time, in his words: "The supreme leader of the Soviet Union must not surpass Lenin, this is a red line, no one can cross!" ”
Andre. Petrovich resigned from all posts and politely declined the offer of the Supreme Presidium of the Soviet Union to award him the post of Honorary Chairman of the Soviet State. He smiled and said to all the deputies of the Soviets: "Retirement is retirement, what is the matter of retiring without resting?" I am grateful for the trust you have placed in me, but I cannot accept the post of honorary chairman, and the politics of the Soviet Union should be entrusted to the next generation of leaders, who should be trusted and trusted to lead the Soviet Union to glory. ”
When it comes to the next generation of leaders, we have to mention the stand Andrei. To the left of Comrade Petrovich, the new core of leadership, Comrade Kikikazejevich, is here. Born in 1905, this comrade worked as a correspondent and confidential secretary of Comrade Andrei in the early days of revolutionary work, was a close assistant and comrade-in-arms of Comrade Andrei, and under the teaching of Comrade Andrei he grew step by step into a qualified revolutionary and a reliable leader of the Soviet Union. Since 1955, he has been the Prime Minister of the USSR (Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars), and he has been the Great Steward of the USSR and has made brilliant achievements in economic work with Comrade Andrei. At the age of sixty, he will take over the baton left by Comrade Andrei and lead the Soviet Union forward.
On the other side of Comrade Andrei, we see a familiar figure, Comrade Trotsky, one of the two cores of the October Revolution. This is the first time he has been seen in almost five years, and the last time we saw him on TV was five years ago at the Victory Parade celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the Great Patriotic War. Comrade Trotsky is much older than he was five years ago, his hair is almost completely white, his face is covered with age spots, and the only thing that remains unchanged is his piercing eyes, which no ordinary old man can have.
At this time, Trotsky unceremoniously said that he was old, and he was holding on to his crutches hard, as if he had poured all his strength into it, but Rao was so, and we could also see that his body was trembling slightly, not only his body, but also his other arm hanging on one side of his body, which looked like he had Parkinson's.
In fact, it's not like, but the second mentor does have Parkinson's, the reason why he has faded out of the public eye over the years is mainly because this condition is too embarrassing, especially in the past two years, his condition has deteriorated almost in a straight line, even when he is motionless, his whole body will tremble involuntarily, and even the corners of his mouth and eyes will tremble when he is a little excited, and the scene is really miserable.
It's just that Trotsky felt good at this time, and from the moment he stood on the walls of the Kremlin, he felt as if he had returned to the old days, scolding Fang Xuan, feeling that he could control everything, and the little Parkinson's was naturally no problem.
Trotsky felt very good, thinking that he was in a state today, but he didn't notice that Li Xiaofeng, who was not far away, was looking at him with sympathetic eyes, in fact, Trotsky's illness could not get better at all, and the only reason why he felt good now was that Li Xiaofeng was using his immortal power to help him calm those restless nerves. Otherwise, Lao Tuo could really tremble and fall headfirst down from the walls of the Kremlin, and the scene would be too discordant.
According to the general principle, Sverdlov should also attend this grand military parade, after all, he also served as a leadership core, unfortunately 6 days ago, on his 80th birthday, this Comrade Xiao Si was so happy that he drank a few more glasses, and as a result, he suddenly suffered a stroke at night, although he was rescued in time because he was found, but at this time he needed to recuperate and especially to avoid being too excited and excited, so he could only miss this opportunity.
Speaking from the heart, the old revolutionaries who came all the way through the October Revolution are now not very sincere, especially the core of leadership, Lenin died in 1950 at the age of eighty, but the last year or two of the mentor's life was really uncomfortable, three consecutive strokes deprived him of the ability to walk and speak, although his sharp eyes tell us that he is still very sober, but this state of not being able to do anything is really uncomfortable.
The funeral of the tutor was also extremely grand. Dalin was so cruel that he actually made his mentor into a specimen for people to see, and Li Xiaofeng forcefully denied the government. Regarding the plan for the disposal of Lenin's body, he said loudly: "Lenin's greatness lies not in his expulsion of his shell, but in his spirit. The proletariat of the Soviet Union and the whole world does not need a shell to be worshipped, and the spirit of Lenin will live on forever...... Comrade Lenin was revolutionary, progressive and opposed to the cult of personality all his life, and we should respect his last wishes and let him rest quietly! ”
Under the leadership of Li Xiaofeng, and with the support of Trotsky and other old revolutionaries, Lenin rested in the specially built Lenin Memorial Hall on the side of Red Square. There are no crystal coffins, only relics left by Lenin in this life and the most shining moments in history.
Among the old revolutionaries, there were many who walked ahead of Lenin, the most famous being Dzerzhinsky, who fell asleep quietly in his office on September 26, 1947. At a time when the anti-bureaucracy and the ****** achieved phased results, he suffered heart failure due to overwork, and at the last moment of his life he was still drafting a proposal for improving institutionalization, and after signing his name at the end of the proposal, the Man in the Iron Mask fell.
Dzerzhinsky's funeral was surprisingly pompous, as the revolutionary who had ever been the best at offending people attracted nearly half a million people from all over the country to see him off for the last time, and hundreds of thousands of people wept loudly when his coffin was laid under the Kremlin walls. This fully shows that the people will never forget the people who have never done the facts.
Dzerzhinsky's life was a simple one. The Great Elder of the Governing Bureau, he enjoys the highest privileges, but he has always refused to do so. In the Kremlin he had only one office, the outer room was the office and the inner room was a marching bed, which was his home and work. He never ate or drank too much, and ate leba for three meals a day, with eggs and milk at most. As for dress, he is probably also the most humble of the Soviet leadership, always wearing an old white-washed military uniform, and only changing into a suit sewn by his wife for her when attending important occasions.
This is still a small section, and it is not for nothing that there are leaders in the Soviet Union who can do something similar to him, for example, Suslov is almost like him. But Dzerzhinsky has not only a small section, he has never been very special in treating his family, he does not have a leader's villa on the outskirts of Moscow, his family of five has been living in a small apartment assigned to him after the victory of the October Revolution, the cars allocated to him have never been used, and they are absolutely not used by his family, in his words, these are all for the state and the people to give him office, how can they be used for public and private purposes? How can it be wasted?
Dzerzhinsky's sons and daughters did not enjoy any special treatment either, and he always believed that "parents dote and pamper their children, meet their wayward demands, and they will grow up to degenerate and become weak-willed and selfish." Therefore, parental love should not be blind ......". That's what he said and what he did, and his children had always received the most ordinary education, all by their own efforts. One child became the people's teacher, the other became a hero in the Great Patriotic War, and the other was always an ordinary worker. Although their achievements are far, far from their father's, they are highly consistent with their father's character and discipline, and they are all strict and self-disciplined people.
Dzerzhinsky is gone, but his spirit will live on, and Sherepin and Suslov took up the baton he left behind and continued along his path.
Some of the old revolutions went vigorously, but there were also those that walked silently. Darin is Mikoyan, Kaganovich and Voroshilov. They died without any attention, as if the world had forgotten them.
Of course, their silence is understandable, and it is already a grace to die silently. There are also some old revolutionaries, although they are also silent, but with Si. Compared with the likes of Da Lin, they are much more special.
For example, Kamenev, for example, Zinoviev, for example, Korentai.
After losing power, Kamenev was stripped of all his posts and assigned to teach at a university in Orenburg, where he trained a number of talents, but his political leanings were always a problem, and in the last decades he spent his last decades scolding Lenin, Trotsky, and S. Da Lin, scolding Li Xiaofeng, and scolding Sverdlov have no other hobbies. He left behind a large number of manuscripts on the subject, and eventually died of depression in 1940, and his body was returned to Moscow in 1960 and buried in his birthplace.
Zinoviev is slightly better off than Kamenev, because fundamentally this is a man who is always on the swing. After losing power, he was not as angry as Kamenev, and accepted it all calmly (as it seems), and has been engaged in early communist work at the university in Kiev. The collation of the history of procrastination was later published in the book "The Early Communists". A Study of the History of Industrialism", died in Kiev in 1962.
After divorcing Dembinko, the feminist went through three more failed marriages, and in the second half of the revolution, her focus had shifted to women's emancipation, and she was the president of the All-Union Women's Federation for a long time. He died in Moscow in 1952 and was buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery.
After entering the 60s, the withering of the old revolution showed an explosive trend, and more and more old revolutionaries could not survive the threshold of 70 or 80 years old, and a memorial service was held almost every month. So much so that for a certain period of time, Li Xiaofeng and Wufeng Jevic's precious time will be occupied by the memorial service.
But even if this kind of "boring" ceremony takes up a lot of time, neither Li Xiaofeng nor Wufeng Jevic has the meaning of "complaining bitterly and complaining", they respectfully attend every memorial service and funeral, and pay high respect to those old revolutionaries who have shed their heads and blood.
In Li Xiaofeng's words: "A nation that does not respect its predecessors is a duckweed without roots, not enough to stand above this world." Without history, the USSR would not be the USSR. ”
The old revolution is falling, the new revolution is rising, and from 1950 onwards, the speed of the exchange of blood in the Communist Party of China has been sharply accelerated, and a large number of new revolutionaries have entered the middle. Central Committee or Politics. The arrival of these fresh blood not only made up for the hollowness of the old revolution, but even stood on the shoulders of their predecessors to achieve higher achievements.
Unlike those old revolutionaries, who were either stuck to theory or ignorant of theory, their thinking was more acute and active, and they were able to give birth to many new methods that had never been done before. These methods may not all be useful, and there are even a lot of dross, but innovative thinking has always been the foundation of human progress.
The fifties and sixties were an era of abolishing the highly centralized planned economy and comprehensive reforms, and this era of change required these highly creative newcomers, and the two sides hit it off, and the friction was nothing but a dazzling spark.
Of course, change also meant challenges, and some of the dross of the new thinking also brought some problems, and in 1955 a new group of opposition was born inside and outside the party, who openly declared the Communist Party. Materialism has fallen behind the fashion, believing that total freedom is needed to make the state stronger. With the covert support of Britain and the United States, they tried in vain to overthrow the existing system of the Soviet Union and launch a so-called "new revolution," but the second-generation leadership collective headed by Li Xiaofeng stood on its feet, nipped these so-called "new revolutionaries" in the bud, ensured the stability of the Soviet Union, and bankrupted the conspiracy of the imperialist hostile forces led by Britain and the United States to subvert the Soviet Union for the first time......
