Chapter 599 Policy adjustment

   The new leadership of the USSR has been established, the regime of Brezhnev, Kosygin and Sherepin. After this conference, it marked the arrival of a new era. After the conference, journalists from all over the world spread the news.

   Then many countries will definitely begin to evaluate the new leadership of the Soviet Union to see what kind of policy the new leadership of the Soviet Union will formulate, whether to ease or confront? It is a very important thing for many countries.

But no matter what, many policies in the Khrushchev era will definitely change. After all, everyone’s style is different. Brezhnev, who took over the position of Khrushchev’s first secretary, will do It’s hard to say what decision will be made.

   The issue of Khrushchev’s retirement benefits was formulated by Brezhnev himself. For the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, handling the retirement of the former top leader is a very novel thing. In fact, in the current history of the Soviet Union, only Khrushchev has had the experience of retirement. Whether it was Lenin and Stalin before him, the leaders of the CPSU have all performed the great career of coexisting and dying with their posts. sentiment. How to formulate Khrushchev’s retirement benefits has become a completely new thing, and no one has experience before this.

The same is true for Brezhnev, because in this time and space, Khrushchev was not removed by a coup, but retired after four more years in power, so this matter is even more complicated. Historically, Brezhnev personally The predecessor implemented the standard of treatment: a car, a small villa in the suburbs, and a good special pension. But that was based on the premise of Khrushchev’s coup d’etat, and Khrushchev completed his shift, so this material standard does not seem to be a problem, and what about other standards, such as political standards.

   This is the first impression that Serov left when he first participated in the meeting of the Soviet Central Presidium. The material retirement benefits are easy to say, but what about the political ones? Could Khrushchev return to the Kremlin anytime? Advice to the current Soviet leader? That is definitely not acceptable, Brezhnev has a good temper and will not tolerate this happening. What’s more, there are people who are tougher than him.

  The first thing after Khrushchev’s retirement, the first meeting of the new Central Presidium was still discussing the former leader, three days after Khrushchev’s meeting. To be precise, the conference just ended yesterday.

Now the whole world is applauding Khrushchev’s retirement, especially in France. It has only been less than three months since the protest in France, and of course the same is true in the Soviet Union, but for those present, this It must be passed. In essence, in addition to Khrushchev himself, including Serov, there is also an identity, that is, a Stalinist. Although the KGB has been arresting Stalinists in the past few years, it is the same Stalinists who do not delay.

“We still have to keep Comrade Khrushchev busy, there are many things in the world.” Serov finally spoke at the meeting of the Central Presidium he attended for the first time, “Comrade Khrushchev saw things in the past. It’s all macroscopic, and he can’t see the specific details of life with his position. After retirement, he can see the problems that are closely related to people’s lives. In fact, there are many such problems, and a person will encounter various kinds of problems in life. Trouble, and Comrade Khrushchev has never encountered these things before.”

   After all, Khrushchev is no longer the first secretary. If Serov still called Khrushchev the first secretary, Brezhnev would definitely be unhappy even if he didn’t say it. So Serov calling Khrushchev a comrade is like discussing an ordinary pensioner.

   “Comrade Serov, you can actually be more specific.” Brezhnev thought about it and asked with great interest, “Use the trivial things of life to dilute the peace of Comrade Khrushchev’s life?”

“No, I think it is possible to take care of Comrade Khrushchev’s political sentiment, such as some of the problems left over.” Shelov thought for a moment and said, “Actually, this is not difficult. Khrushchev was the first secretary before his retirement. If you suddenly become a pensioner, you will definitely be uncomfortable. I believe Khrushchev’s idea of ​​guiding his work still exists.”

  According to historical records, Khrushchev will subconsciously seize every opportunity to relive his leadership career after retirement. He often walked into the fields of nearby farms, expressing a leader-like apprehension about the farmers’ poor harvests, eager to make his visionary agricultural proposals. He even used binoculars to monitor the farmers working in the fields, and whenever someone in charge appeared, he hurried over to give his opinion. But Khrushchev soon discovered that these small leaders completely ignored the instructions of the former top leader, which made him very angry but helpless.

   In fact, this matter is not difficult to solve. After retirement, Khrushchev will definitely not often come into contact with higher-level cadres, but the grass-roots cadres will definitely come into contact. Shelov means that the grass-roots cadres should respect the former leader. Some work matters can follow Khrushchev’s advice. After all, Khrushchev’s advice will not have much impact at all.

Both Brezhnev and Kosygin nodded. This suggestion is acceptable. At the same time, the annual Victory Day military parade, the May Day parade and the October Revolution military parade can also invite Khrushchev back to stand in the red. On the field, it is said that this is respect for the former leaders, and some retired veteran cadres can also visit Khrushchev and chat.

“But all of this must be under the monitoring of the KGB. We have been implementing his policies, but in fact we have learned from this that many policies have not been considered, and some problems must be corrected!” Brezhnev first listened to After considering the opinions of Kosygin and Shelepin, and then showing their opinions, it is considered that Khrushchev’s retirement life has been planned.

“Yura, don’t you want to talk about this?” Brezhnev seemed to be quite generous and asked Serov’s opinion. You must know that Serov has never had any experience in this area, and he has only been in the Central Presidium for seventy years. Two hours, this time also includes the time from the nomination to the present.

“I’m just a security cadre. To be honest, I don’t know what to do when I enter the Central Presidium. I will obey the decisions of the Central Committee. I just need to make a decision and let me implement it. I can’t express my position on some issues beyond the scope of security.” Shelov Facing this Dnipro gang leader very modestly, don’t I know that this modesty is temporary?

“After all, we still have to implement democracy within the party. Even security cadres can make suggestions in other areas. After we think about it, we can make a decision after research.” Brezhnev said gently, and then Start asking for advice from people like Suslov, Kosygin, Sherepin, Andropov. Everyone’s opinion was sought by Brezhnev, who showed a moderate attitude when he first became the first secretary.

In fact, Khrushchev’s problem still exists, but the success of India and Sudan has changed color, diluting the problems caused by Khrushchev’s drastic changes in the Soviet Union. Brezhnev, Kosygin, and Shelepin actually knew the existence of these problems. But because the external environment has solved part of the pressure, it is regarded as not seen. After Brezhnev came to power, the first policy to implement was to adjust and correct some specific policies during the Khrushchev period as soon as possible without causing major fluctuations in Soviet society and stability of the people’s hearts.

   Now that Khrushchev has retired, these new leaders must first correct some of Khrushchev’s reforms. First of all, restore the establishment of a unified party organization and leadership according to the characteristics of regional production, and cancel the industrial party organization and the agricultural party organization that were established separately based on the production principle during the Khrushchev period.

A state was divided into two party central organizations, so that while each party was in charge, there was also a situation of competition for power and profit. After seeking the consent of others, Brezhnev decided on a reform method. merger of party organizations. It was approved by the Central Presidium.

  Secondly, implement reforms to strengthen the independence of business operations and economic stimulation, and reform the planning system. Under the traditional planned economic system, the state mainly controlled the production and operation activities of enterprises by issuing a large number of mandatory indicators, so that enterprises lost their independence. For a long time, since the profits of enterprises are basically all turned over, the capital construction investment mainly depends on the free appropriation of the state finance. When carrying out economic reforms during the Brezhnev period, it was emphasized that the source of funds for infrastructure investment should be linked to the results of business operations, and that a considerable portion of profits should be reserved for enterprises. In this way, in addition to the state financial appropriation, a considerable part of the capital source of infrastructure investment is the company’s own funds and long-term bank loans.

  After Khrushchev, the new leadership first began to adjust to the problems that had arisen in the past few years. These issues were discussed long before they got to where they are now. Therefore, the resolution was passed quickly after the exchange.

“There’s one more thing, and that’s what’s going on in our public opinion position.” Suslov, who had not spoken in the end, spoke up within the scope of his work and said seriously, “In the past few years, domestic public opinion and culture have There are very unsatisfactory places in the environment, and I can accept certain adjustments, but it is obviously not the case now. This kind of situation, which has been cynically and even slandering the country and the central government, must be corrected.”

“I know what to do. I will do Solzhenitsyn’s affairs myself. As for other aspects, I will submit a report to the secretariat and Comrade Suslov.” Serov promised solemnly, this The attitude is very acceptable to Suslov. (To be continued~^~)
