Struggle in Soviet Russia - Chapter 624

Before the cigarette in his hand was finished, there were sparse footsteps outside the study, and at the same time, the sound of a woman coughing softly drifted in. Don’t ask, it must be An Lina who got up.

Victor turned around, walked back to the desk, and smothered the half cigarette left in his hand in the ashtray. The moment he looked up, he saw An Lina in pajamas walking in with two hands. There is also a tray in each, one tray should be a cup of coffee, and the other tray is a few pieces of dessert that look quite delicate.

“Did I wake you up?” Victor asked with a smile, taking the coffee from An Lina’s hand.

“No,” An Lina put another tray on the desk, put one hand on Victor’s shoulder, probed over, kissed him lightly, and said, “I’m going to the hospital early today, and the operation will be in the morning. It starts at nine o’clock and I’m worried…”

“You don’t have to worry about anything,” Victor said comfortably, hugging her waist and patting her increasingly plump buttocks, “The doctor in charge of the operation is the best expert, and I asked before, The pre-operation preparations were done very well, your mother’s condition has been adjusted to the best, and it is not a big problem to cope with this operation, you just need to adjust your mentality now and wait for the operation to end smoothly.”

“Well, I hope so,” An Lina forced a smile to herself, then hugged Victor again, and whispered, “Thank you.”

Victor didn’t say anything, just changed the subject and asked, “Do you need me to arrange a driver for you?”

“No, I’ll drive over by myself,” An Lina said, shaking her head.

Watching An Lina leave the study, Victor brought the coffee in his hand to his lips, took a sip, and then sat down on the chair behind the desk.

Putting just a sip of coffee at hand, he sorted out the documents scattered on the table. Victor opened the drawer in the center of the desk and took out a black-covered record book.

The record book is the workbook he is using recently, some work plans, important ideas that come to mind temporarily, etc., and he will write it down in this book.

Flip the notepad to the page where the content was recorded just last night, Victor lit another cigarette for himself, and then frowned and looked at it carefully.

For now, the reorganization of the Central International Department is undoubtedly the top priority, and Victor is mainly doing this work. In addition, he is also in charge of the reorganization of the Moscow radio station, of course, in this regard, he is mainly watching the radio programs of the English channel.

As said before, in Viktor’s plan, Moscow Radio will not only increase the number of radio channels in different languages, but also make changes to the form and content of radio programs.

For example, in the past, the Chinese radio programs of the Moscow Radio Station mainly had two kinds of program content: one was news broadcast, which mainly broadcasted international news and major news in the Union. The other is a propaganda program, mainly propagating the thoughts and ideas of comrades such as Marx, Lenin and Stalin, and propagating the various policies of the alliance. During the war, there was more military propaganda.

All in all, the radio programs of radio stations are relatively simple in form. The most important thing is that the programs are too serious, too rigid, and lack interest. The main audience is not ordinary people at all, but has a certain cultural level. People with social identities and ordinary people are unlikely to be interested in such programs, and they can’t even understand them.

Of course, the reason for this is actually closely related to the actual situation. After all, in these days, radios are still a high-end thing, and ordinary people’s homes can’t afford this stuff, let alone China, even The same is true in the Soviet Union. According to Viktor’s knowledge, nearly one-third of the collective farms in the Union are now unable to guarantee electricity supply. How can radio stations consider the issue of popularizing their programs?

However, Victor is very clear that with the end of World War II, the world is about to enter a period of great economic development in the following ten years. During this period, the development of information technology is rapid, and the brewing, It is the arrival of a comprehensive information age, and propaganda methods such as newspapers, radio, television, and movies will also flourish, and their speed is fast enough to make it difficult to adapt.

Take TV as an example. Today, in the entire alliance, there are only two cities with TV programs, one is Moscow and the other is Leningrad, and these two have different TV image specifications.

In this newly assigned residence by Viktor, there is a TV. It is produced by the Leningrad Kozytsky TV Factory, the model is TK1, it is about the size of the garbage cans on the streets of later generations, and the screen is on the top cover. , and the image is not directly displayed on the screen, but needs to be enlarged by an image magnifying glass, and then projected onto the mirror of the screen… As Victor’s rebirth, if he wants to see this thing, it is estimated that Drive him crazy.

The most terrible thing is that, as far as Moscow is concerned, the TV center set up on Sabrovka Street only broadcasts programs four times a week, each lasting two hours. In other words, ordinary people buy upper TVs, at most a week. Watching the eight-hour program, and these programs are basically the content of the conference, that is, the various conferences held by the alliance…

Compared with TV programs, the current alliance radio broadcasting is more popular, because every city has street broadcasting, and the tweeter in the shape of morning glory is set up on every main road. Hear the broadcast on the radio station. But like I said before, these radio programs are also news broadcasts, there is no entertainment program, not even advertising.

Whether it’s the Union’s internal radio programs or TV programs, Victor has no way to intervene, because it is decided by the Propaganda and Agitation Department. Don’t look at Comrade Zhdanov’s ability to reach out to Viktor’s work area. But he couldn’t turn his hand into Comrade Asahidanov’s work area, so Viktor could only make changes to the Moscow radio program at present.

Even for the external broadcasts of Radio Moscow, Viktor did not plan to change all of them immediately. He planned to make changes from the English channel first, especially the channel of the American broadcast.

It must be admitted that the domestic economic environment in the United States is indeed prosperous. The overall scale of the automobile industry alone accounts for 70% of the world’s automobile industry. How much does the alliance account for? Less than ten percent, this is because the war has destroyed the whole of Europe, otherwise, the proportion of the alliance will only be smaller. What’s more, the cars produced in the United States can be exported all over the world, while the cars produced by the alliance have almost no way of exporting.

The prosperity of the economy has also brought the prosperity of the cultural and entertainment industries to the Americans. Today, this sign is not very obvious, but Victor is very clear that in a few years, the popular factors in this world will also be led by Americans. At that time, Americans will gradually master the public opinion of the whole world, and then master the hegemony of public opinion.

What Victor wants to do now is to make a plan one step ahead and try his best to start an information war with the Americans, or a public opinion war. Although the coalition has little hope of winning in this regard, doing something is better than doing nothing. Much better.

“bell……”

Time flies very fast when one’s energy is concentrated on one thing. Victor was busy planning the broadcast plan of the radio station, and he didn’t know how long it took when the phone rang suddenly on the table, interrupting his thoughts.

Frowning unconsciously, Victor stopped writing and looked up in the direction where the phone rang. There were only two phones on the desk, one black and one red, and at this moment the ringing sounded. Here comes the black phone.

Not knowing who would call so early, Victor hesitated for a moment before reaching for the receiver.

That is, the moment he picked up the telephone receiver, he saw the small alarm clock on the table, and it was already half past seven in the morning.

The call was from the young and energetic Comrade Suslov. According to him, last night the International Department received a report from Heifetz, the acting responsible secretary of the Jewish Council, who stated in this In the report, Comrade Heifetz mentioned that the Ukrainian Association Committee in the United States wrote a letter to the Union Jewish Committee, in which the Ukrainian Association Committee proposed to provide the Union with some funds and equipment to This is to help the alliance build hospitals, schools and other public welfare institutions in cities such as Kyiv, Odessa, Zhitomyr and other Ukrainian republics.

The Ukrainian Association is actually a Jewish association whose members are all Jews who moved to the United States from Ukraine. Fascist war, provided a series of aid.

If this time the Ukrainian Association only provided some assistance to the alliance, Comrade Suslov, who had just arrived at the International Department of the Central Committee, would not have paid such high attention to him that he had called Victor so early.

The reason for this is that in addition to the aid, the Ukrainian Association has also put forward some conditions. They hope that through this aid, they will obtain the approval of the Union to allow Ukrainian Jews to travel to Palestine and engage in Zionist work.
