Chapter 256 The 28th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
For the upcoming 28th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Seryozha was actually not enthusiastic, because he did not expect this meeting to reunite the Soviet Union, which was a mess. However, Xie Liao still took the time to communicate with Yeltsin, Sobchak and others in depth.
From the perspective of the current political structure of the Soviet Union, Leningrad already has a taste of an economic center. Since Seryozha established the first special economic zone in the Soviet Union here, it has become a locomotive that drives the national economy. . It is against this background that the cadres of the Leningrad Special Region are naturally superior, because as long as any region can get investment or cooperation intentions from Leningrad, the economy of this region will be significantly improved.
Because of their own status, the cadres of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone naturally hope to gain a greater say in the Second World War. Especially Yeltsin and Sobchak, very much hope that Sergei can stand up and enter the Communist Party on the Second World War. But this was not included in Sergey's plan. Sergey didn't want to be the one standing in the foreground. He preferred to hide quietly behind the scenes and control everything quietly.
Lithuania and Latvia, which have declared independence, and Estonia, Georgia, and Moldavia, which are planning independence, have not paid much attention to Seresa, and Seresa has not invested any resources in these areas from the beginning to the end. Sergey has always put his roots deep in the land of Russia, so from Sergey's inner true thoughts, he is more willing to let Yeltsin be elected as the supreme leader of the Russian Republic as soon as possible.
It's a pity that the situation still didn't go as Sergey had envisioned. Because of Sergey's outstanding performance during this period, he was nominated as a candidate for the Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in charge of economic construction. Sergey Seryozha knows that if he is elected, he will become the helm of the Soviet economy, and his immediate boss will be Yakovlev who is in charge of ideology and international affairs. Seryozha would have liked to dismiss this nomination, but he did not have a suitable excuse. For this reason, he can only silently pray that his age deficiency is enough to let him pass this position.
The outline of the Second Session of the Congress mainly focused on seven issues, including "Party Innovation", "Ideological Work", "Communist Party Economic Policy", "Agricultural Policy of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union", "Party, Soviet and Social Political Organization", "Ethnic Issues" and "International Issues" are the seven major challenges that the CPSU is currently facing. Among them, the party's innovation involves revising the party constitution of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, while the ideological work involves whether to continue to adhere to the core issue of Marxism-Leninism. Among them, only economic and agricultural issues were the main work that Sergei Sha was actually responsible for. The remaining three issues are about the future political structure of the Soviet Union, how to deal with the independence of the Union Republics, and the loss of the strategic buffer in Eastern Europe.
Seryozha originally attended the meeting with the attitude of watching a show, but he soon discovered that he had many supporters in the party. Many party members hoped that Seryozha would introduce Leningrad's economic SAR experience. This immediately pushed Seryozha to the forefront.
The sudden emergence of Seryozha attracted the attention of the other two factions in the party, the democratic program faction and the Marxist-Leninist program faction. The bosses of these two factions are Yakovlev and Ligachev who are fighting to the death in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Yakovlev hopes that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union can become a party similar to the British Labor Party. existence, while Ligachev hoped to continue to uphold the leadership of the CPSU. However, the struggle between the two factions has always been about ideology and political lines, and they have not proposed a good solution to the economy. This has caused many party members from the grassroots to have a great deal of resistance to the effective Leningrad road. interests, including Lithuania, which has declared independence.
Following Ligachev and Yakovlev's speeches at the conference, many representatives improvised a new proposal,
That is, I hope that Comrade Ulyanov will talk about his views. This proposal quickly won the support of the majority of representatives. In this case, Seryozha could only take the stage and make an impromptu speech without preparation.
"Delegates and comrades from all over the country, hello! It is a great honor to meet party representatives from all over the country again. Some people hope that I can talk about the experience of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. In fact, what I want to say is a lesson !"
"At this meeting today, I heard a lot of voices that I have never heard before. Some people suggested that the name of our party should be changed to the Social Democratic Party, and some comrades said that the **** will never come true. But in my opinion Come on, are these issues really the concerns of ordinary people in the Soviet Union?"
"Speaking of **, I think of an interesting incident when Comrade Khrushchev visited Hungary in 1950. At that time, a Hungarian crowd asked him, what is ** like? Khrushchev replied that if it is realized * *, Hungarian people can eat "Gurasi" every day. Just last year, the Hungarian government lost its power, and many Hungarian people spent an unforgettable Christmas without Gulasi, but fortunately, Our people, on the other hand, briefly reached a Khrushchev-like climax during the Maslenitsa..."
Seryozha just wanted to continue, but was interrupted by the applause below, which lasted for more than a minute. Seryozha waited for the applause to end with a smile on his face, then continued.
"At this moment, on the construction site of the Eurasian gas pipeline, a million Soviet workers are hard at work. I don't know how much of the issues we are discussing here today are of their concern. If we are talking about things, It's too far away from their lives, I don't know if we are qualified to represent them. I hope everyone can focus on the issues that the people are concerned about. As for other issues, I think it's okay for us to discuss or not discuss them a few years later Big deal."
After finishing what he wanted to say, Seryozha walked off the podium without even responding to the applause behind him. It wasn't until the final election of a new Communist Party member that Sergey suddenly heard his name.
"Comrade Ulyanov from the foreign economic and trade system was elected as the second secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Comrade Ulyanov is invited to sit on the rostrum..."
At this moment, Serezha suddenly felt that everything was so unreal...
