Putin once said: "Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no conscience, and who wants to return to the Soviet Union has no brain!"
The Soviet Union, a word that currently exists only in history, but until now, is a lingering memory of the Russian people.
It was founded in a time of crisis, after more than twenty years of suffering, the days were just a little better, the German chariot came on the snow, the war made this country of little age devastated, the blood of Soviet boys spilled on the Caucasus mountains, on the Volga River, on the wasteland in front of Leningrad, on the streets of Moscow...!
They defeated the world's most powerful opponent, they planted the flag at the top of the Empire State Building in Berlin, they built the world's largest country, and they had a million armored divisions that swallowed mountains and rivers.
However, such glory did not last long, and more than forty years later, the former great powers were scattered, and even its successor, Russia, could not guarantee the basic livelihood of the common people, let alone the small countries that flattered the West.
All the glory that was once glorious has become a stagnant state, a half-dead.
All this was caused by the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Can an individual in an era change the history of an era?
If not, then what was Principe, who assassinated Archduke Ferdinand?
If not, what was Adolf, who drove the entire German chariot?
If not, what was Hideki Tojo, who forced Yamamoto Igoro to sneak into Pearl Harbor?
These people are undoubtedly telling the world that even if individuals cannot control an era, they have the ability to influence the direction of the history of the era.
The disintegration of the Soviet Union was actually like this, and what changed the fate of the Soviet Union was also a small person, whose name was: Nikolai. Jeff!
Nikolai. How did Yev make history? How did he make memories of the Russian nation?
He only did one thing, and that was to assassinate a man!
Nikolai. Born in 1904, during the Soviet Union's russian Empire, Yev was born in Petersburg to a working-class family, and because his father died at a very young age, Nikolai Khrushchev was born in Petersburg. In order to help his mother reduce the burden on the family, Yev dropped out of school early and went out to work.
Nikolai. When The First World War broke out in 1914, Tsarist Russia was drawn into a world chaos that eventually brought down the already crumbling empire.
Tsarist Russia transitioned to the Soviet era, and in 1922, at the age of 18, Nikolai Vladimirovich. He joined the CPSU and was later transferred to the St. Petersburg Institute of Party History as a propagandist, where he remained until 1933.
But later, due to the shortage of labor in the transport department, the staff of the institute was transferred, and it was just Nicolas. Yev, but in the face of the order, Nikolai. Very reluctantly, Yev decided not to go to work in the railway department, and eventually his superiors expelled him from the party and public office for disobeying the assignment.
Nikolai. Hyev was furious about this, and he kept writing letters to his superiors complaining of injustice, but the reply was that he was only arranged to work in the factory in order to keep the food supply certificate, but Nikolai. Jeff, who was once a researcher at the Institute, is now assigned to work in a factory that makes Nikolai. Yev could not accept it, so he refused to labor, and eventually Nikolai. Not only did Yev not get the attention of his superiors, but he couldn't even keep the food supply certificate.
Nikolai who stays at home without labor. Hyev began to write a large number of diaries in which he complained about the injustices inflicted on him by his superiors in various departments, and by this time his psychological condition was already very serious, and in August 1934, due to the inability to respond to long-term complaints, Nikolai. Yev decided to take the other path, which was to take direct and brutal revenge.
And the person he wanted to take revenge on was none other than Kirov, the first head of St. Petersburg at the time.
He and Kirov hadn't even met, but Nikolai. Yev wanted to become Zhiryapov, a famous Assassin in the history of Tsarist Russia who had assassinated Emperor Alexander II of the Tsarist Empire.
So Nikolai. Instead of assassinating anyone else, Yev assassinated the highest-ranking man in Petersburg.
On the afternoon of December 1, 1934, Nikolai. Yev sneaked into morni Palace, which was the Petersburg State Party Office Building, hiding in the corridor of Kirov's office, and as soon as Kirov appeared, he decisively shot Kirov in the head.
By the time the guards arrived, Kirov had fallen to the ground, a great deal of blood was flowing from his head, and Nikolai. Yev did not flee, but just stood where he was and roared and cursed emotionally.
In the interrogation room, Nikolai. Yev confessed the crime and the details of the crime, he had always targeted Kirov, sneaked into the Morney Palace to observe the scene before the assassination, and the revolver was his own, in 1918 he had a gun license, and then re-registered in 1930, and the guns used were legal.
The reason for the assassination surprised the inquisitor, because Nikolai. The answer given by Yev was that Kirov had made him lose his job.
But God knows, Kirov doesn't even know his name, so why did he lose his job?
The assassin was a small man, and he seemed to think only of assassinating an official.
But what he didn't know was that because of Kirov's death, the Soviet top brass caused a great upheaval!
Although Kirov was only the leader of St. Petersburg, he was in the top ten in the core leadership of the Soviet Union.
Because of joseph's trust, Joseph cultivated him as his successor.
How good was Joseph to Kirov?
The two chatted until late at night, and Joseph stayed overnight for Kirov's safety, preferring to give up the bed to Kirov and sleep on the couch himself!
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is not as simple as superiors and subordinates.
Hearing that Kirov had been assassinated, Joseph even went to Petersburg to interrogate the Assassin himself, but no matter how he interrogated him, he came to the conclusion that this man was not a spy or instructed, he was only because of a personal vendetta, but this personal vendetta was also too far away, and Kirov was simply innocently lying on the gun.
But then a strange thing happened, that is, when Kirov's guard captain Borisov was assassinated, he accompanied Kirov back to the office alone, but such a veteran, facing the assassination of Nikolai. Yev did not react until he watched AsKirov was assassinated.
So after Kirov's death, Borisov was arrested, but when Joseph tried to interrogate him, he died in a car accident on the way to the transfer.
This immediately made Joseph angry, because he felt that Borisov's death was too coincidental, so he decided to investigate this strange assassination.
This decision also directly set off a catastrophic movement in the history of the Soviet Union!
The first is the murderer Nikolai. Yev and the thirteen guards and interrogators involved in the case were executed, and then Nikolai. Yev's wife, Milida, and Milida's sister and brother-in-law were also executed, and that's not all!
Follow-up nikolai. Yev's siblings, cousins and cousins were also arrested, while Nikolai. Yeaf's elderly mother was also exiled to the border countryside.
It can be said that Nikolai. On his own, Jeff completely changed the fate of himself and his wife, Milida, and his entire family.
Of course this is about Nikolai. Yev's immediate family, and it is not only these immediate relatives who are implicated, but also people who cannot be beaten by eight rods.
For example, former Trotskyists and opponents Zinoviev, Kamenev and others, took advantage of the anger of this incident to start a great purge in 1936.
Under the Great Purge, nearly a million people were arrested and executed, including a large number of senior officers of the Soviet Army!
This incident also directly helped the German army later, without this incident, the Soviet army would not have lost so badly at the beginning of World War II!
Of course, this incident also invisibly helped the later Khrushchev, because if Kirov did not die, Khrushchev would not have successfully taken Joseph's class, and if Kirov did not die, the later Soviet regime would not slowly move to the right with Khrushchev, and the CPSU would not have completely fallen into the vortex of greed, eventually leading to the collapse of the Soviet Union!
Nikolai. Yev was a history-changing man, and his assassination came very casually, even to vent his anger, just to become the second zhilyapov.
But he inadvertently opened Pandora's box, in which Joseph did play a role in adding fuel, but Khrushchev's so-called assassination was Joseph's conspiracy, which was made out of nothing.
In 2009, the General Directorate of the Russian Federation also declassified the relevant documents of the Kirov case, and it turned out that Nikolai V. Yev is just an assassin.
However, the shot he fired was like a butterfly that lifted its wings and rolled up a super tsunami for the later Soviet Union.
