Struggle in Soviet Russia - Chapter 626

It is normal for Jews to want to emigrate. For any country, it is normal for citizens to immigrate or residents of other countries to immigrate. At any time, the flow of population is inevitable, and it cannot be stopped simply by relying on executive orders. After all, there is still the saying of smuggling.

However, currently affected by the Jewish plan to establish a state in Palestine, the movement of Jews around the world has become abnormal, and for the Alliance, the reason why they do not want to see a large number of Jews emigrated is naturally. The reason, just in Victor’s view, there are at least three reasons for this:

First, the issue of immigration is definitely not a simple problem of population migration, it is also a political issue, especially under the current situation, if there is a large-scale Jewish immigration within the Union, then it will easily be given to Western countries, especially The British are a slanderous pretext. They will take the opportunity to create rumors, claiming that the Union persecuted the Jews, which led to the large-scale immigration of Jews in the Soviet Union to overseas.

Yes, it is not impossible for the British to do such a thing. What’s more, the alliance’s position on the Palestinian issue is hostile to the British, and they have to make a fuss about this issue.

Second, although the Jews in the Union are an absolute minority, their population is not very small. In the current situation where the Union is scarce and the labor force is seriously insufficient, Moscow certainly does not want a large number of immigrants to appear. The Union’s post-war recovery efforts were very unfavourable.

Third, the immigration issue involves not only a population issue, but also an economic issue. After all, the Jews in the Union have personal property, and their large-scale immigration will also take away a lot of wealth from the Union. This will also affect the post-war reconstruction of the alliance.

With these three points alone, Moscow cannot possibly hope to see a large-scale immigration of Jews.

Taking a step back, the Ukrainian Association of the United States made such a request, on the one hand, to help the Jewish settlements in Palestine to attract more immigrants, and on the other hand, to let Moscow further express its attitude and openly support it. The idea of ​​Zionism, which further created pressure on the British.

As for Moscow, although it is happy to create trouble for the British influence in the Middle East by supporting the establishment of the Jewish state, but from a political point of view, Moscow is also reluctant to make an overly radical statement, which will lead to conflict with the Relations in London are too tense. On the issue of the Middle East, Moscow would prefer to create a situation that would allow the Americans to rush ahead and fight against the British on this issue, thereby increasing the contradiction between the United Kingdom and the United States. As for the alliance itself, it would hide behind beating drums. That’s enough, there’s no need to rush forward so directly and go hand to hand with the UK.

Such foreign policy decisions are not a secret within the alliance, and it is impossible for those in the Jewish Committee to know nothing about it, but even so, they still try to endorse the Ukrainian Association and send such an application report. , what is its purpose?

The drafter of this report is Heifetz, the Acting Responsible Secretary of the Jewish Committee, but everyone knows what kind of position Heifetz holds in the Jewish Committee. It’s not that Victor underestimates him. Not qualified to do it at all.

In the past, when he was in charge of the specific work of the People’s Commissariat for National Security, there was a period of time when Victor did have a certain sympathy for the people of the Jewish Committee. After all, these people really did a lot for the Union during the Great Patriotic War. They played a great role and made great contributions to the issue of seeking war aid from the Americans.

However, as the people of the Jewish Committee gradually drifted away on the road of Zionism, Victor’s sympathy for them gradually weakened. Of course, the most important point is that Victor’s thoughts were always influenced by his previous life. In the previous life, the Western public opinion tools in the hands of the Jews, the so-called American democratic foundations in the hands of the Jews, and the Jewish consortiums that tried to provoke riots and subvert the government all over the world did not leave Victor any favors.

In the previous life, many commentators thought that Comrade Stalin was anti-Semitic and that the Soviet Union was anti-Semitic, but in Victor’s view, their anti-Semitic was obviously not thorough enough. Otherwise, in the period before Victor’s rebirth, There will be no more conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

So yes, Viktor agrees with Comrade Suslov on the issue of dealing with the Jewish Council. He also thinks that this Jewish organization, which once made a certain contribution to the Union, has now changed its taste. They are obviously Putting the interests of the Jewish race above the national interests of the Union is a sin in itself.

“Do you have any further comments? Comrade Mikhail Andreevich,” after a moment of silence, Viktor raised his head, lowered his gaze to Comrade Suslov’s face, and asked, “I I mean, a further opinion.”

Comrade Suslov did not answer directly. He erected the briefcase that had been lying flat on his lap again, took out a document from it, handed it to Viktor, and said, “That’s it, Comrade Viktor Viktorovich. , before that, I did some in-depth research on your question about opposing the nationalization of cadres, combined with my experience working in the Stavropol Territory and Lithuania, and then contacting the Jewish Committee today some of the current state of affairs, drafting such a report…”

Having said that, he has already handed the document to Victor.

“Oh?” Victor put the cigarette in his mouth in his mouth, took the document, opened it, and said, “About the nationalization of cadres?”

With a cigarette in his mouth, he was a little slurred, but Comrade Suslov heard it, nodded and said, “Yes, Comrade Viktor Viktorovich, it is about The nationalization of cadres is harmful, and I think the alliance must attach great importance to this issue, otherwise, the harm it will bring to the alliance’s ethnic issue will be long-term and serious.”

Victor took a deep look at the other party. One thing he can be sure of is that before he raised the issue of nationalization of cadres, and even after he raised this issue, no one in the alliance had specifically talked about this topic.

At the beginning, when Viktor was still the first secretary of the Karelia-Finnish republic, he discussed this issue with Comrade Stalin, and later, he also submitted a report, but the report he submitted at that time , and received no feedback of any kind, and Comrade Stalin never discussed the issue with him again after that.

Since then, Viktor thought that this issue would be shelved, at least while Comrade Stalin was alive, he would not have the opportunity to discuss this issue again. Unexpectedly, Comrade Suslov in front of him would bring this issue up again. Picked it up, and also got a very thick report out.

Retracting his gaze from the other party’s face, Victor turned his attention to the report in his hand. He turned the report from beginning to end. It was a full dozen pages of a report. It took him a lot of time to read from the beginning to the end. , During the period, Comrade Suslov sat quietly on the side, as if waiting for him to give feedback.

What is certain is that Comrade Suslov should have read the report originally submitted by Victor, because many of the views in his report came from the report submitted by Victor at the beginning, but in the discussion Comrade Suslov mixed these views with numerous examples, as he himself said, from his work in the Stavropol Krai and in Lithuania.

Taking some examples from Lithuania, Comrade Suslov believes that the reason why the Forest Brothers guerrillas in the region are not resolved is partly because of the complex geographical environment of Lithuania, and partly because of the region’s Nationalist sentiment is running high, and the Forest Brothers guerrillas have civil support. In addition to these two points, there is another very important reason, that is, the local cadres in Lithuania have problems in their political positions. They have sympathy for the members of the Forest Brothers guerrillas. from their nationalized stance.

Therefore, Comrade Suslov clearly supported the cadre appointment policy proposed by Viktor in his report, that is, it is strictly forbidden for cadres of the same ethnic group to hold positions in areas where their own ethnic groups live, especially in areas where their own ethnic groups live. job.

Victor certainly agrees with Comrade Suslov’s position in this report. After all, this is his own position. Comrade Suslov is just repeating the same old tune.

After putting the documents together, Victor was silent for a while, and said: “I have reported to Comrade Stalin on the issue of nationalization of cadres, but the leading comrades of the Politburo obviously disagree with my opinion. When the question is raised, don’t you worry that it will…”

What happened, Victor didn’t say, he just handed the document back to Comrade Suslov and shrugged again.

“Of course, choosing to submit the report at this time is naturally not a wise choice,” Comrade Suslov said with a smile, “but, I still want to try it. After all, this kind of question still needs to be constantly raised. from.”
