Chapter 128

Speaking of Kirov, I believe many people are familiar with him. His full name is Sergei? Milonovic? Kirov. However, I would like to briefly introduce the elites under the red regime.

As early as October 1917, he was elected to the second congress of the all Russian Soviet Union and participated in the October armed uprising in Petersburg. After the victory of the October Revolution. The Party Central Committee sent him back to the Caucasus to lead the struggle for the establishment and consolidation of the Soviet regime in Jericho and other parts of the north Caucasus.

In February 1919, he was appointed to lead the defense work of Astrakhan city and Astrakhan border area. He successively served as chairman of the provisional Revolutionary Military Commission of the border area, member of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the 11th independent group army of the Red Army, and member of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Southern Group army. During this period, he also actively led the underground work of the party in the north Caucasus and the guerrilla war against Dunkin.

In May 1920, he became the plenipotentiary representative of the Soviet government of the Russian Federation to the Menshevik government of Georgia. In the same year, he was appointed to lead the Russian delegation to sign a peace treaty with Poland in Riga. After returning to the north Caucasus in mid October, he was elected a member of the north Caucasus Bureau of the Central Committee of Russia.

In March 1921, he was elected alternate member of the Central Committee at the 10th Congress of the Russian Communist Party. In July of the same year, he was elected secretary of the Central Committee of Azerbaijan. Kirov is one of the founders of the federal Socialist Republic of the Caucasus. With the joint efforts of him and Ordzhonikidze, in 1922, the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Georgia jointly established the federal Socialist Republic of the South Caucasus, and adopted the resolution to join the union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

In 1923, he was elected a member of the Central Committee at the 12th Congress of the Russian Communist Party. In December 1925, he was transferred to Leningrad to work. In February 1926, he was elected as the first Secretary of the Communist Party of China Leningrad provincial Party committee at the 23rd special meeting of the party held in Leningrad province. He also served as the first Secretary of the Northwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. He was a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee since 1930.

At the 17th Congress of the Soviet Union, Kirov won the support of a large number of people, which made Stalin, who always regarded Kirov as his successor, feel the crisis.

Power is hard to fill. In fact, at this moment, Kirov also felt that he did not have to bow to others. During the Soviet Union * conference, he publicly stood up to fight against Stalin, who was also a teacher and friend.

At about 16:30 p.m. on December 1, 1934, Kirov entered the Smolny palace, the office building of the State Party committee, and went up the main stairs to the third floor. Just as Kirov turned from the main corridor to the corridor on the left and was about to walk to his office, he was shot in the back of his head and fell to the ground. Hearing the sound, the staff and security personnel rushed out and caught Nikolayev, who was a little nervous with a revolver, beside Kirov's body. Fifteen minutes later, when the doctor carried Kirov into his office for invalid rescue, Nikolayev's wife melida was also under control.

After Nikolayev was arrested, he immediately accepted the sudden trial, but his mood was out of control at that time. When he was put on trial for the second time at 21 p.m., he made a more logical explanation intermittently.

This incident is full of complicated and strange. First of all, Nikolayev, who was judged to be a little neurotic, had a revolver for his murder as early as 1918. In 1924, he also obtained the corresponding gun license from the Soviet government. Six years later, in April 1930, he successfully re registered.

This dangerous man with a gun was arrested twice for following Kirov, an important leader of the Soviet Union. And found the revolver on him. What's more incredible is that he was acquitted twice

Another strange thing is that a key person like Borisov, the escort guard, actually used an ordinary truck, and the truck had an accident on the way. Later, the truck driver told the central presidium at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union about what happened at that time: when the truck was moving, the staff of the interior department sitting next to the driver grabbed the steering wheel, Drive the car across the sidewalk and hit the wall. When the car stopped after hitting the wall, no one was injured, but the right headlamp of the car was damaged. Curiously, Borisov died on the spot, and the doctor's certificate said that he died in a car accident. Later, Borisov's wife was also killed. The drivers were also locked up in concentration camps.

And this guard Borisov is the party in charge of Kirov's safety work. Coincidentally, when Kirov was killed, he was a guard who should never leave. He was 20 steps away from the person he wanted to protect. During Kirov's assassination, this guard did not take any remedial action.

The party was killed in two days, and then Stalin held an internal meeting of his own faction. Not many people attended the meeting, including Khrushchev, Stalin's confidant, and a member of Stalin's lineage, yezov.

"Ye Ruofu! Comrade Kirov has been assassinated! This is the loss of our entire Soviet Union! " As soon as Stalin met him, he said to his men, "find the murderer immediately! And behind the scenes! Go to find the murderer among the Zinoviev elements! "

However, ye Ruo Fu clearly heard Khrushchev whisper in Stalin's ear: "everything is done, there is no living." Then Stalin picked up his pen and wrote down "headquarters in Moscow" and "headquarters in Leningrad" on two pieces of white paper. Then he listed Zinoviev, gaminiev and others under "headquarters in Moscow", and the arrested cadres of the Communist Youth League under "headquarters in Leningrad". Then he handed the two pieces of paper to ye Ruofu: "catch the murderer according to the name above! They are all murderers of sabotage So this list, written by Stalin, became evidence of Kirov's murder. Kirov's body was soon transported to Moscow. On December 6, 1934, Stalin personally presided over a grand funeral and carried the coffin for him. In his memoirs, Michael young once wrote: "after Lenin's death, Kirov's death is the most painful thing for the party and the country, and that kind of grief is even greater than that of dzerzhinski's death." On December 22, 1934, the Soviet government issued a notice to investigate the Kirov case, saying that Nikolayev, the assassin, was a member of an underground terrorist organization called "Leningrad headquarters", which was composed of members of Zinoviev's opposition. Zinoviev and gaminiev were handed over to the Ministry of internal affairs for further investigation due to insufficient criminal evidence. On December 29, 1934, without any valid evidence and documents, Nikolayev and his 13 so-called "Leningrad headquarters" accomplices were executed. Before that, 103 former members of the Russian guards were suppressed. More than two months later, Nikolayev's wife, melida, was also shot on March 10, 1935. In addition to melida herself, her sister and brother-in-law were also suppressed. Besides, Nikolayev's brother Peter? Nikolayev, milida's brother Peter? Delauriel was also arrested one after another. Nikolayev's two older sisters and cousins were also sent to the concentration camp, while his mother was assigned to live in the remote countryside. On December 16, 1934, Stalin ordered the arrest of Zinoviev and gaminev. Both of them were old Bolsheviks who joined the party in 1901 and members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee from 1919 to 1926. Zinoviev served as chairman of the Leningrad Soviet Union and chairman of the Executive Committee of the Communist International. Gaminev served as chairman of the Moscow Soviet, first vice chairman of the Soviet people's Committee and chairman of the labor and national defense committee. These two men and Stalin formed a troika in Lenin's later years, together helped Stalin through the crisis of Lenin's will, and defeated Stalin's biggest competitor Trotsky. These two men, who were supposed to be Stalin's right-hand men, broke up with Stalin because they constantly challenged Stalin's authority in the party and vaguely became the spiritual leaders of all factions against Stalin. So this time Stalin decided to start with these two men. On January 15, 1935, the Soviet Union conducted a secret trial on 19 opposition members, including Zinoviev and gaminev, accusing them of establishing and joining the secret organization "Moscow headquarters" to engage in anti Soviet secret activities and trying to replace the current leader. Both of them refused to admit that there was such an organization, denied that it was related to the kilov assassination case, and condemned the terrorist acts in court. However, under high pressure, they were forced to admit that their past anti Stalin acts may objectively contribute to the existing tendency of terrorism and make the criminals degenerate. Therefore, they bear indirect moral responsibility for Nikolayev, the assassin. After the procuratorial organs could not get any materials to prove their crimes, they still sentenced Zinoviev to 10 years' imprisonment and gaminiev to five years. The two men died in the end, and they were secretly executed by Ye Ruo Fu in prison. Not everyone is silent about it, and not everyone believes the results of the Kirov case like an idiot. Many of the older generation of Soviet revolutionary leaders are skeptical about this. Among them was marshal Tukhachevsky, who was already the commander-in-chief of the Soviet front army. This military boss, who has just been promoted to marshal, runs up and down for this matter, intending to find the murderer of his comrades. Unfortunately, no one is willing to help him, and what he has done little by little angers Stalin, who wants to firmly control the military.
