Chapter 422: The Collapse of the Soviet Union
"Is it funded? Is it useful?" Chernenko interrupted from the side. Chernenko is now the director of the Soviet Supreme Soviet Secretariat, in other words, Brezhnev himself, and his status should be equivalent to Marin, the Minister of Khrushchev's General Affairs Department.
In later history, Chernenko replaced the current Minister of General Affairs Marin and became the general convener in Brezhnev's small circle. Although he had never competed for Andropov, he successfully became the General Secretary of the Soviet Union and the Supreme Soviet Chairman after Andropov's death. This guy was quite normal, but when he came to power, he was already seventy-year-old and eighty-year-old, and he was a sick man like Andropov.
This situation obviously has a lot to do with Brezhnev in front of Selov. If Brezhnev had not maintained amazing stability in the supreme leadership during his reign, there would have been no situation like Andropov and Chernenko who had just come to power and held a funeral immediately. The youngest of the Soviet leadership was Selepin. As we all know, Selepin aroused Brezhnev's fear and was kicked out of the center of power step by step.
Chernenko, who has been doing party affairs, raised his own doubts naturally because he was vigilant against such Western Soviet academic groups. Serov could understand this point. Soviet cadres were actually not outstanding, but he also knew the basic truth and needed to strengthen defense against the enemy.
"It is stupid to always take a head-on situation to fight! If Comrade Chernenko is interested, I can give you a few books by Soviet writers to see what shit they are writing." Serov Shiran took out a juicer from the cabinet next to him, took out a few oranges, and soon sent two glasses of orange juice to the distinguished guest and continued, "As far as they write, a municipal cadre in our alliance can see the wrong things, the foundation is wrong, and the deviation will only increase if you continue to study. What is the final evolution of this situation..."
"The more influence these Soviet scholars are, the more they will interfere with the enemy's judgment of us!" Brezhnev played with the empty cup and spoke with a full breath, "Judgement based on this theory is worthless. The only function is to disrupt the enemy's thinking and always make deviations in our policies..."
Leaning on the desk, Selov glanced at Brezhnev with a rather strange look, and had to say, "Chairman Brezhnev, you are right. You have made a judgment on such matters involving party affairs so quickly. I believe you must have done a lot of profound theoretical research!"
"I have not done any theoretical research, nor am I agile person, but the basic right and wrong can still be seen if it is good to the country and who is harmful to the country!" Brezhnev shook his head slightly and commented on himself, "This cannot prove how smart I am, but my decades of work experience in the agency are at work. Yura, let me talk about your ideas!"
"This so-called Soviet science is based on hostility to all systems of the Soviet Union, so the deviation will definitely increase when it continues to develop. To a considerable extent, the formation of Western Soviet science with the United States as the main body has gone through a process of reference, digestion, Americanization, and even *********. However, the lack of Western Soviet theory and the singular totalitarian theory have prompted Soviet science to continuously expand its extension, connect with other sub-theories of political science and social sciences, and derive more theoretical branches. What will happen? As long as we deeply analyze the formation of this Soviet theory, we can deduce it. The biggest possibility is a group of scholars who advocate the collapse of the Soviet Union every day to cheat funds."
Drinking off all the orange juice in the cup, Selov licked his lips and said lazily, "The final evolution should become the theory of collapse of the Soviet Union. He uses the wrong things to study every day to deceive the people and advocate the collapse of the Soviet Union. Anyway, it is either this year or next year, next year or the year after, but this time is too long, and there may be something useful during the development of the theory, so I am going to intervene and make this Soviet learning the theory we need!"
"It sounds very good! We support these people to disrupt the Western academic community, Yura, this is the inherent in infiltration and combat mode of your intelligence department..." Brezhnev praised gently. In fact, he likes Shilov's way of speaking, rather than ordinary cadres. Lenin Marx is the way of opening his mouth, and shutting up is the way of talking. Brezhnev actually doesn't like this way of speaking very much, and he does the same traditional solution.
"The biggest advantage of this infiltration combat is that our enemies will never have any doubts, and they will give the green light to this kind of research and use political and media resources to expand the influence of this theory. And we can add some obvious loopholes, which are best believed by ordinary Westerners, and our people can identify at a glance!" Serov snapped his fingers and said, "Thinking about it, I think this is where we should take the initiative!"
When he first saw related books on Soviet studies, Selov felt that it was not the first time he had seen some arguments. He had definitely seen this kind of thing in later generations, but the arguments are still quite primitive. Later, I thought about it, aren’t some arguments the original form of China’s collapse theory? Of course, this is far from all of Soviet studies, and it even accounts for a very small proportion of current research on Soviet theory.
It doesn't matter, isn't this theory simply a Soviet pill? Serov, who is familiar with the theory of China's collapse, can provide an outline, and then convene scholars to supplement under the leadership of the fake propaganda department, and finally find an agent lurking in the West as a cover for publishing, and then, hehe...
Strictly guarding and defending will eventually lead the Soviet Union to passiveness, because the Soviet Union's theoretical support is absolutely great. No theory is not great, but the general public cannot feel it. This is a very troublesome place. Instead of defending passively, it is better to break through and find a breakthrough. Selov is 100% sure to conclude that the Soviet collapse theory will definitely have a huge market, and from the people to scholars, they agree that the Cold War environment will help the KGB's plan be realized.
Neither the United States nor the Soviet Union could accept each other's political and economic system in concept and regarded each other as a disaster. On this point, the United States' tolerance for the German Nazi system even exceeded that of the Soviet Union. In the 1930s, the mainstream of the American intellectual community actually admired Nazi Germany very much. After World War II, the United States quickly armed Germany and Japan and supported the right-wing forces of the two countries, which was enough to illustrate the United States' value orientation. In a sense, the unilateral sympathy between the United States and the Soviet Union, which belongs to the category of Western civilization, was quite similar to the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century, that is, fighting for faith. McCarthyism that ravaged the United States actually caused everyone who conducted * research in the United States to be in danger.
However, for various reasons, the doubts and impacts faced by scholars studying the Soviet issue and officials in charge of Soviet affairs are far lower than those committed to researching and engaging in Chinese affairs. McCarthy's search for a "scapegoat" is mainly government officials in charge of Chinese affairs. Most scholars studying the Soviet issue have the opportunity to enter the government's top service, such as Kissinger, Brzezinsky, Rice, etc. It can be seen that extremizing and demonizing the systems and ideas represented by the Soviet Union can still obtain more academic resources and opportunities to enter politics. Brzezinsky's final appointment as President Carter's national security adviser is not unrelated to his strong anti-Soviet concept.
With the sign of security experts, Selov dared to brag in front of any Soviet leader. Even Suslov stood in front of Selov, he dared to say so. Brezhnev showed extraordinary interest in this solution. For a moment, Selov felt that he was talking to Selepin, but he woke up immediately. It would be better to be careful when facing Brezhnev.
"If you have time, you should talk to Comrade Suslov to you. I believe our theorists are willing to listen to the opinions of the security authorities in actual operations!" Brezhnev stayed in the office of the KGB President for more than an hour, and the two sides were communicating like old friends. Brezhnev himself was much more conservative than Khrushchev, and he liked to listen to this offensive argument.
"It's almost noon, just have lunch at our headquarters and call Comrade Galinna over. He has performed quite well recently!" The Galina mentioned by Selov is Brezhnev's daughter. She was transferred from the Second General Administration back to the headquarters for guarding nearby. The hostage, Selov, would not let go, and it is safer to see.
"My daughter, only in such a serious mechanism can we settle down!" Brezhnev did not show any special feelings. Selov wanted to keep his daughter in sight to prevent himself from being replaced. After returning to the position of central secretary, Brezhnev also discovered the importance of the KGB. His daughter happened to be at the KGB headquarters, which was equivalent to an additional informant who would never betray the KGB headquarters. The news of the KGB headquarters could be transmitted to his ears. Of course, in the future, Brezhnev would definitely not only hope that this incompetent daughter would be arranged to come in.
