Soviet Union 1991

When members of the Special Control Commission entered the office of the head of the Moscow Main Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Anatoly Yakunin had not yet understood what was happening. Members of the Special Inspection Committee revealed their identities and asked Anatoly to cooperate with them in a series of investigations.

This made the Director of the Moscow Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs very unhappy. Since Pugo stepped down and Comrade Vladimir became the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, he has become a real power figure in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As long as he moves forward a little bit , he will be the new Minister of the Interior in the future. Now the appearance of members of the Special Prosecution Committee is obviously aimed at themselves.

"We are not targeting you, Comrade Anatoly. By the way, I want to tell you that Pugo has become the head of the Special Prosecution Committee, so if you have any questions, please wait until the investigation is completed before you lodge a protest with us, but Before that, we need to investigate your bribe collection. Don’t be nervous. The Supervisory Committee has obtained all the information. Your protests and appeals are invalid.”

"What a joke."

Anatoly suppressed his anger and said, "I'll just say it once. I am the director of the Moscow Administration and the most powerful person in the police department. Even if there is an investigation, I should not be examined by members of the special inspection committee. What about the disciplinary committee?" ? "Where are they?"

The investigator sitting opposite him pushed up his glasses and said very calmly, "I'm sorry, it's just you and me today, there is no third person. Of course, if you want to do something, a certain leader of the Political Bureau will also While watching your every move, it is said that he has recently been very interested in the case of extortion of Moscow citizens by police officers under the police department. The Disciplinary Inspection Committee started from this aspect and discovered some particularly interesting secrets. If it spreads, I'm afraid the entire Moscow police department will be overthrown, so before we go any further, you'd better speak on your own about the movements of the huge unidentified property of eight million rubles, and your relationship with certain gangsters in Moscow. Do I need to clarify the topic of the collusion between you and the Jews? They stabilize the underground market, and you provide them with an umbrella, right?"

"I don't."

"What you said is purely false accusation! I will not accept your investigation!"

He knew that he would have a chance to escape only by fighting to the death. Although he didn't know who wanted to touch him, as long as he survived this round of investigation by the special inspection committee, he would naturally be able to use the power behind him to settle everything.

Anatole moved his hand towards the phone, but was grabbed by the other party. What he saw was a plain face, but there was an intriguing fear in every word that came out of his mouth.

"If you made this call today, just wait to collect the bodies of your family. I just want to tell you a piece of bad news. The so-called investigation is just a formality. In fact, he already had a piece of paper in his hand that said Everyone’s name is on the blacklist. The big boss behind the scenes is going to take action, and he will do it in an unconventional way. In other words, no matter who is on the blacklist, they can’t save their lives.”

"He is just trying to complete this plan as low-key as possible, and does not want people with ulterior motives to label it as counter-revolutionary. I advise you, Comrade Anatoly, to explain honestly and go through the motions, and your family will be at peace." It’s okay. We’ve already given orders, and there’s no need for any further interrogation. The evidence we have is enough, and you just need to plead guilty.”

"If you plead guilty, you will die. If you don't plead guilty, your whole family will be in trouble."

These are Yanayev’s exact words.

Anatoly looked embarrassed and couldn't believe what the person in front of him said. Even if the General Secretary does this, he will be attacked by other central committee members. He wants to have the power of life and death for everyone. Even the Minister of Defense and the Prime Minister will not agree to this crazy plan.

"You are just a small person, and you will never understand what the big person is thinking. Just like me, I am just an indispensable screw. Don't be delusional or stupid enough to contend with a whole violent machine. As long as he moves his fingers, everything will be done." I can crush you into pieces."

The member of the Supervisory Committee pointed to his waist and whispered, "With a gun."

"kindness?"

Anatole looked at him strangely, as if he didn't understand what the other person was talking about.

"Killing yourself is the best outcome for you. Moscow has already arranged for the subsequent handover personnel. They can take office directly after your death. Don't blame the upper management for being ruthless. It was you who messed everything up. "

He raised his left hand to look at his watch and stood up.

"Well, it's almost time to liquidate those Jews. You are luckier than them. Do you know what will happen to these 'saboteurs who endanger people's property and safety'?"

"Kill them all."

With trembling hands, Anatole slowly touched the gun at his waist, fear engulfing his heart. He didn't want to die, but as the person in front of him said, if he didn't die, his superiors would never let his family go.

Dealing with one's own people is always simpler and more crude than dealing with leaders of other countries. This is Mao Zi's method. Other countries would have to go through a series of trials before execution, but in his eyes, all this is natural. The threat.

The conversation between the members of the censorship committee and him was over. He no longer had to worry about the poor guy sitting behind his desk. The bullet of fate would shoot through his temple or chin and turn his brain into a pulp.

He walked out of Anatole's room and closed the door gently.

He stood silently in the corridor with a cigarette between his fingers, waiting for the gunshot to sound.

——Separating line——

"This confession is wonderful, Mayor Luzhkov. For the sake of the party, more than half of the names on this list will plead guilty because of your list. They may be digging in Siberian coal mines for several years. Coal. Of course, this is the best outcome. If it's worse, they won't even be able to see the sun tomorrow."

Luzhkov, who had just put down his pen, raised his head with a desperate expression. He looked at the other party unwillingly and said with a sad and angry expression, "What did we do wrong? No one will believe the rumors that Yanayev attacked us because of corruption. Who can sit in that position and not be an idiot? ”

"Indeed, in the eyes of General Secretary Yanayev, there are things that are even more intolerable than corruption. Anyway, your end is almost here, and I don't care to tell you the answer you want to know. General Secretary Yanayev hates those things He will not let go of anyone who stands in his way, those who are destined to have an impact on his future plans."

"He has been compromising with the conservatives for nearly 7 years. Now that everything is on track, they no longer need to keep people who are clinging to the incomplete. You are Luzhkov, Defense Minister Yazov, Prime Minister Pavlov, etc. . Do you really think that Vladimir and Surkov only entered the political situation? Is it a coincidence? Is it luck that Vladimir became the chairman of the Council of Ministers? Those actions are just to pave the way for the future of the reformists. The future of this country will be handed over to these two people, and the old man who is out of time will either choose to retreat. Choose to die in that position.”

Luzhkov's vision was so narrow that he couldn't even see clearly what the General Secretary wanted. He assembled a complete leadership team for the Kremlin, but in the end it was just a dowry for others.

Pugo coughed. He also belonged to that category. Yanayev finally used his hand to complete the final arrangement. He would be the scapegoat for this bloody purge when it was all over. After this purge, which caused a small political upheaval in Moscow, he would step down from that position and officially disappear from the Soviet Communist Party.

The Minister of the Interior took out a pistol from his back and handed it to the other party.

"You have revealed so many names, and they will never let you go. As long as you are alive, these people will eventually settle accounts with you and your family. If you want this account to go unanswered, I think you know what to do. "

"The Moscow authorities cannot protect you for life."

Luzhkov's fingers climbed onto the pistol. He understood that the Special Prosecution Committee did not want him to continue to suffer. Rather than leave it to someone else, it's better to end it yourself.

"Let's do it. At least we can die with dignity."

Pugo sighed and turned his head to the side.

This is trial and execution in disguise.
