Soviet Union 1991

(First update)

Not only Soviet veterans like Ivauri, but also many people who went to voluntarily stop the opposition demonstrations were verbally abused and physically attacked, and some were even pushed and injured. Feeling powerless, the group turned their eyes to Moscow. For the first time, they ardently hoped that the Soviet government could come out to do them justice.

In South Ossetia and Abkhaz gathering places, more terrible things continued. Georgians incited by extreme nationalists gathered in Abkhazia. They slandered and distorted the so-called "beasts" of the Abkhaz in Georgia. Then angry crowds began to gather and called for cruel "revenge" actions against the Abkhaz. The thugs reborn on the streets, beating and smashing along the way. The houses of the Abkhaz were burned down. Women held their children and stood in front of the burning houses crying heartbreakingly.

The police sent from the district police substation tried to stop the angry young people, but the rioters grew larger and larger, and finally reached thousands of people. The police were outnumbered and had no way to stop them. The rioters continued to break out in the suburbs, and the looting and smashing continued. The homes of South Ossetians and Abkhazians were robbed, and everyone was frightened. Later, burning torches and Molotov cocktails were thrown in through the windows and set the houses on fire.

The Abkhaz authorities took emergency measures and evacuated some people into the district party committee building, accommodating hundreds of Abkhaz elderly, women, children and disabled people, and set up a temporary shelter in the district party committee meeting hall. The frenzied thugs were not satisfied with burning houses. The crowd launched a real attack on the district party committee building, demanding that all Abkhazians be handed over. When Kadyrov, the first secretary of the district party committee and chairman of the district executive committee, found it impossible to defend the district party committee building, he voluntarily stood up to delay the time for the thugs to launch an attack, and proposed to use himself as a hostage to try to negotiate with the Georgians outside the door.

When people around him advised Kadyrov not to take this unworthy risk, he just turned around and smiled at the old, weak, women and children behind him, hoping to calm them down. His wooden pipe swept across every frightened face, and he tried to comfort them in a calm tone, "I am a member of the Communist Party. When there is danger, I must walk in front to ensure the safety of everyone present. Please believe me, the police and the army will definitely come to you, don't be afraid."

It takes courage to make such a choice among a group of leaders who are greedy for life and afraid of death. He naturally knows what will happen if he falls into the hands of those people. The middle-aged Abkhaz man finally looked back at the person he wanted to protect, then raised his hands and walked towards the Georgians holding torches outside the door without hesitation, shouting in Georgian, "Don't be impulsive, I am the first secretary of the district committee, I am here to negotiate with you."

Kadyrov's exposed identity did not help him at all, and someone in the crowd shouted to burn this Georgian traitor to death. The angry mob grabbed Kadyrov's collar, pressed him to the ground, and punched and kicked him.

"You can beat me, but don't embarrass the elderly and children inside." Kadyrov held his head and let them kick him hard, and his weak plea was drowned out by the slogans shouted by the crowd.

Kadyrov ended up being insulted, and the crowd threatened to tear him to pieces and then burn all the Abkhaz people inside. Kadyrov, with a bruised face, still tried to persuade these people without saying a word, but what Kadyrov got in return was continued screaming, swollen eyes that could not be opened, and five teeth that were knocked out.

The riots continued, and those non-Georgians on Georgian land seemed to have entered the coldest moment before dawn.

There was another more heinous crime. These young thugs stopped a car with four Abkhaz people who had fled from the rioting village of Orazi, including a girl under the age of sixteen. They first beat the four people violently and then set fire to the car. A group of beasts wantonly abused the girl for several hours, and then dragged the four people who were beaten half to death to the wild and tied them up. Because they were afraid of being identified later, they simply cruelly poured gasoline on the four people and burned them alive.

When Rezhkov heard about the riot, he immediately put down his work and volunteered to fly to the refugee area, even though the area had not yet calmed down. Since the Fergana incident in Uzbekistan, he was the first to appear in the front line of the disaster area every time such a scene occurred. If the Soviet people had any impression, they would vaguely remember that when the riot occurred three years ago, the headline of "Oriental Pravda" published two photos. One was a smiling Gorbachev waving to the Germans on the balcony in Bonn, and the other was Ryzhkov standing in front of the burned house of the Meskheti people in Fergana, shocked by the sad scene in front of him.

Ryzhkov was surrounded by women and children, and there was a heartbreaking cry. He came to the door of the barracks in the refugee camp, and the Abkhaz committee was waiting to negotiate with him.

"Has the motherland abandoned us? Has it abandoned us Abkhaz people?"

The first sentence of the women's representative made Rezhkov feel distressed for no reason. He shook his head and said with difficulty, "No."

"Then why during the riots in Tbilisi three years ago, when the Georgians said they would drive us out, no one came to save us? Then why did the same riots happen three years later, and no one came to save us?" The woman said in a very serious tone. He was calm, but the words he spoke were like sharp knives piercing Ryzhkov's chest.

Three years ago, it was indeed Gorbachev's deliberate inaction that caused the Tbilisi incident to slide into an irreversible abyss. But today, three years later, it is differences of opinion within the central leadership that led to the delay in rescue.

He wanted to tell the women that Moscow was doing everything possible to rescue you, but in the end Ryzhkov just rolled his throat and barely managed to squeeze out a word of apology.

The woman shook her head. Even though she lost her five-year-old child in the riots, she still answered calmly, "I don't need an answer from the motherland. I just hope that Moscow can stand up and carry out justice for the innocent people like us who died." A fair verdict, this is what the motherland owes us."

"We must send troops to maintain stability. We can't wait any longer." After returning from the refugee camp, Ryzhkov almost roared in response to the Moscow authorities' inquiries. He knew very well that every riot was a sign of the decline of the Soviet Union. , the loss of people's hearts.

In Moscow, Yanayev threw Ryzhkov's report and the photos taken at the scene at the central emergency meeting, and said to the solemn-looking people in front of him, "Every second of delay, countless people will pay tribute to such a tragedy." What happened, the dead people, the massacre, are you sure you want to continue to sit in silent protest like this, and then watch innocent people die?”

There was silence in the conference hall. No one expressed approval or objection. After the meeting was held and Yanayev revealed his overall plan to deal with the joining countries, all he could hear was the silence of heavy breathing. . He didn't dare to say he agreed because the plan was too crazy, but he didn't dare to object because even if he did, Yanayev wouldn't listen.

Yanayev did not seem to care about the feelings at the scene, and directly issued an order to General Rodionov, the commander-in-chief of special operations of the Caucasus Military District on the other end of the phone, "Now you immediately send troops into Georgia, and I will ask the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs to The troops will assist you, and from now on you will be the commander-in-chief of the Caucasus Military District, yes, until I declare the end of martial law.”

"If, as the General Secretary said, an armed conflict occurs, how to solve those problems?" This is the only issue that General Rogionov is worried about. People at the Ministry of Internal Affairs are more experienced than him in dealing with riots. If it turns into an armed conflict, he will need Yanayev's authorization.

Yanayev also knew this very well, so he deliberately loudly said to Logionov in front of everyone, "If there are civilians really blocking you, use armored vehicles to crush them directly." Not the people we defend, but the enemies of the Soviets!”

Yanayev and Rogionov had previously formulated a lightning operation plan behind everyone's back, and the target of the plan was Georgia's President, Zviad. Address the root causes of unrest as quickly as possible.

"President Yanayev, if we do this, we will face moral accusations, and the West is even more planning to find excuses to attack our human rights issues." Shenin said worriedly.

"Then let the West criticize and condemn verbally. Since the founding of the Soviet Union, they have not criticized our human rights issues, and their newspapers have not distorted us. We suppress these counterrevolutionaries, and we are so indifferent. It’s inhumane to show mercy, why? After all that NATO said, it sent planes and tanks to liberate us!”

Yanayev's unreasonable behavior at this time was exactly the same as when he faced the leaders of the three Baltic countries. He was extremely indignant against the nationalist extremist forces of the participating countries. He almost put his hand on the button of the nuclear weapons suitcase to threaten them. A bunch of inhuman beasts.

"There will be justice for anyone who tries to destroy our unbreakable alliance!"

The angry eyes are burning with the flames of hatred, which will eventually burn those troubled enemies to ashes!

"We will neither forgive nor forget!"
