Tourists to Russia, if they have the opportunity to visit the New Virgin's Monastery, will pass by a cemetery, which is the famous cemetery on the outskirts of Moscow, called the "New Virgin Cemetery", which is the third largest cemetery in Europe.
Famous cemetery
The New Virgin Cemetery is famous for two main reasons: first, it is adjacent to the New Virgin's Convent, which was built in the 16th century and is a famous tourist attraction second only to the Kremlin. Second, this tomb contains the upper class of the church and the aristocrats of the Tsarist period, and later became the cemetery of some Soviet celebrities, including the cemetery of Khrushchev and others.
The reason why Khrushchev was buried here was mainly because he was ostracized by Brezhnev after the "palace coup" and lost his position, and he was aged at home. Later, Khrushchev died suddenly of illness, and as a former leader of the Soviet Union, it was supposed to be buried in the Red Square cemetery, but Brezhnev could not have buried Khrushchev there. So Khrushchev was buried in the New Virgin Cemetery. His cemetery is a black-and-white statue of Dali, indicating that he could be viewed in two when he was alive.
Not far from the Khrushchev cemetery, there is a cemetery that is also conspicuous, because this tomb is a Chinese buried here, this person is Wang Ming, a famous figure in modern and modern China. Regarding the history of Wang Ming, the encyclopedia is very detailed, and I will not go into detail here. There is a saying in our country called "the leaves fall back to the roots", why did Wang Ming not return to China for burial, but was buried in the New Saint Cemetery?
The Red Man of Moscow
Wang Ming is buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow, mainly because he has lived in the Soviet Union for a long time, which is equivalent to an "immigrant". It is impossible to return home again. The history of Wang Ming's arrival in the Soviet Union is mainly due to his personal reasons. According to the records, Wang Ming went to the Soviet Union for medical treatment in the 1950s on the pretext of medical treatment, and then returned to China, but in 1956, Wang Ming again brought his family to the Soviet Union for medical treatment, and this time he never returned to the Soviet Union.
The timing of Wang Ming's visit to the Soviet Union this time was very delicate, and it was precisely during the period of Sino-Soviet contradictions that Khrushchev also announced the withdrawal of Soviet experts. After Wang Ming went to the Soviet Union for medical treatment, he never returned to China. After that, during his life in the Soviet Union, he also published some articles that distorted the leadership of our country, and since then he has been used by some people who oppose Khrushchev.
After Khrushchev stepped down, Wang Ming naturally wanted to see Brezhnev's face. Therefore, Wang Ming's role in the Soviet Union is actually "a chess piece", although the role is not large, but it can also play a certain role in making a bright appearance at a critical time.
Judging from the articles Wang Ming published in the Soviet Union at that time, these articles were all related to politics, and it was impossible for Wang Ming to write such articles without the consent and instructions of the Soviet leaders.
Judging from the Soviet intelligence at that time, there was a strategy against our country. Therefore, the Soviet Union retained Wang Ming's own strategic considerations, which may come in handy at critical times.
Judging from Wang Ming's identity and status, he was one of the earliest Bolszviko, and the Soviet leaders certainly had to look up to him. It was also this identity that allowed him to be buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow after his death.
Continue to work?
In 1974, Wang Ming died of illness. At this time our relations with the Soviet Union did not improve. In the 1970s, the Soviet Union was an era of massive outward expansion, and it was also the fastest years of soviet development. Brezhnev's approach, on the other hand, remained the boss of the Warsaw Pact system and the countries of the same camp. Wang Ming, who had died of illness, buried him in the cemetery to show that the Soviet Union valued this person. The move was also a political move by the Soviet Union.
In addition, the New Virgin Cemetery is a place where celebrities are buried, and because the New Virgin Convent is also a famous attraction, when tourists visit, they can also see Wang Ming, which can also play a publicity effect.
Wang Ming was also an "old qualified figure" in the Soviet Union. In the 1920s, Wang Ming went to the Soviet Union to study, and was rewarded by Miff and also received the key training of the republic, when the Comintern regarded Wang Ming as "a leader to cultivate". It can be seen that Wang Ming is very old and can be regarded as a celebrity.
The Soviet Union buried Wang Ming in the new virgin cemetery, which was both an affirmation of him and a different role for him to continue to stay here. The day after Wang Ming's death, the Soviet organ newspaper Pravda published an article entitled "Tribute to Comrade Wang Ming," calling Wang Ming "a veteran of the international communist movement and a famous activist, an old friend of the Soviet Union, and an active defender of friendship and cooperation between the Soviet and Chinese peoples." It can be seen that the Soviet Union is clearly opposed to our country.
It is impossible to return to the roots
The Chinese people all have a tradition of "returning to the roots of the leaves", why should Wang Ming be buried in the Soviet Union after his death? In fact, Wang Ming also wanted to go back to his homeland, but at that time he could not go back. Even if Wang Ming wanted to go back, the Soviet Union would not necessarily let him go. Another reason, his crime has made him unable to stand his ancestral car.
Based on the above circumstances, Wang Ming could only stay in the Soviet Union and eventually die and be buried in the Soviet Union. As for where it was buried, did Wang Ming's family raise it with the Soviet Union, or did the Soviet leaders already make arrangements? No specific records have been found.
