Soviet Union 1991

(first update)

If there is a perfect illustration of the contradiction, it is what the U.S. government has done over the past three days. First, he highly praised himself as God Bless America, praising the United States as a country where people are free to express whatever they want without being banned. This was insinuating that it was completely different from the largest centralized country on the European continent.

However, three days later, the Soviet propaganda film "Who is the Dictator" was ruthlessly banned by the U.S. government after being broadcast on major television stations for only one day. The reason is of course to maliciously smear and slander the US regime, and the government requires TV stations not to broadcast this video again. Although some TV stations complained slightly, they still chose to cancel it.

Only the television stations in Texas stated that it was their freedom and right to broadcast any program as long as it did not violate the country's constitution. Moreover, this promotional video still tells the public history of the United States. Is there anything they need to cancel it?

So the people of Texas, who have strong folk customs, said that as long as the police of the US government can shake the laws of Texas and the weapons in the hands of the people, they will obediently cancel the TV station's video.

What the people of Texas have done is undoubtedly like a loud slap in the face of the American government, but it has at least made the people of the world see one thing clearly. The American news media are not completely free. They are also under the strictures of the government. under supervision. Who will want to say that the American news media has free speech in the future? Give me a ** punishment first.

This time the Bush administration suffered at least two humiliating losses. First, it broke its promise and banned its opponent's propaganda video just after saying long live freedom of speech. Second, it did not dare to directly ask the arrogant Texas TV station to ban the news. This pair It is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing for the US government.

Even far away in Moscow on the other side of the Pacific, Comrade Yanayev, General Secretary of the Soviet Union, sent a congratulatory message with gloating, saying that the people of Texas are the hope of freedom and democracy in the United States.

Poor Director Robert once again became the target of the angry President Bush. This time it was not just a few words of blame but a full-on scolding, directly scolding him for his incompetence in doing things. It would be better to let a pig sit in the CIA director's chair. position.

The mission of the United States, which was ridiculed by its strength, was finally completed, and Comrade Surkov, who had not slept well for several days, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After resting well at home for two days, he received a call from Yanayev on the third day, asking Surkov to bring his team of staff, and he held a celebration banquet for them in the Kremlin.

They were a little flattered by the general secretary's direct suggestion. These people, who had never seen any other high-level Kremlin people except Surkov, were at a loss. They even carefully asked what Surkov would do then. Only when you dress well can you chat and laugh with the general secretary.

The answer given by Surkov is just casual, don't be too nervous. You are facing the most easy-going leader among so many generations, but those team members who have heard the name of the Kremlin's cruel tyrant But that’s not what it means.

However, the friendliness shown by Yanayev at the banquet was beyond the team's expectation. It was not the first time that these young people who like to indulge in vast literary classics raised their heads and looked at Soviet politics unexpectedly discovered that This leader is not as scary as the rumors to the society say. Instead, he is like a kind elder, telling them his life experience.

This was not a large-scale tribute meeting. Apart from Surkov and his team, only Yanayev and Pavlov attended the meeting, but the weight of the two Soviet high-level officials far exceeded the others. people.

"Please relax, don't let the atmosphere be too dull. Everyone here is an acquaintance of comrades, haha. Apart from me and Comrade Pavlev, there are no outsiders. Try to keep it like a gathering between friends. , I don’t want to be said to be the owner of the Kremlin is a rigid and boring guy.”

Yanayev held up the wine glass and showed such a friendly manner that those present who had not experienced such a big scene secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gradually felt relieved.

"We all have witnessed your achievements. You have severely defeated the arrogance of the US imperialists and given the Soviet people confidence. Here I will thank you for your efforts on behalf of the country. We will not attribute the credit to your efforts. In the name of a certain leader, you are actually saving our ideals and our great socialist construction."

Yanayev bowed slightly towards the young people, which made them a little flattered. It was unprecedented for a national leader to bow to ordinary people before him. I wonder which of the lofty Soviet leaders before was willing to bow their noble heads to the masses. During the long years of power, they seemed to have forgotten one thing as they became more and more trapped in the political ivory tower. The Soviet power came from the people, and their power also came from the people.

"President Yanayev, I feel that you are not as cruel as folklore says. You are a very kind and kind leader." One of the guys whose IQ is not proportional to his EQ suddenly said these taboo words. , Surkov, who had just taken a sip of red wine, almost spat the wine on the table when he heard this.

Comrade Pavlov on the side was a little dumbfounded, and at the same time he was gloating at how Yanayev answered this tricky question.

Yanayev was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the young man to speak so directly, but he nodded to him and said with a smile, "Young man, you are very courageous to ask a question that everyone wants to know the answer to but dare not ask. Whether I am a cruel monarch depends on who I am facing. If I am facing the enemy of the Soviet people, you will see a cold-blooded and cruel tyrant. If it is the people I want to protect, then you will see an amiable leader."

Yanayev's answer was flawless, and in fact, he has been implementing this belief after crossing, serving the people and fighting for **.

Yanayev's words were recognized by everyone. Surkov, who was still worried just now, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his head and looked at Yanayev carefully. Who knew that the other party's sight was also intertwined with him. Yanayev just smiled at him, as if he didn't care at all. He raised his glass and said, "Tonight, let me toast to the first step of the great victory."

"Cheers!" Everyone stood up and clinked their glasses with passion.

After the others finished their toasts, they returned to their seats. They completely relieved themselves of their psychological pressure and treated this cocktail party as a gathering among friends. Looking at these energetic young people, Yanaev felt that it would be better if the person he traveled through was Putin.

If he was younger, he could do a lot of things.

If he was younger, the situation would not be worse than it is now.

However, Yanaev's happiness did not last long. Defense Minister Yazov suddenly rushed in and scared everyone present. He looked at Yanaev with a gloomy face, stepped forward and whispered to Yanaev, "I'm sorry, General Secretary Yanaev, something happened in Chechnya."

With a clang, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground. Even Yanaev himself couldn't believe that Chechnya would jump out and rebel at this critical moment.

"Let's talk for a while." Yanaev, with a sullen face, walked out with Yazov and closed the door.
