Brezhnev's name is no stranger to Russians, yes, he used the coup to topple Khrushchev and thus became the supreme leader of the Soviet Union. Brezhnev, however, may not have imagined that he would overthrow the political position of others, and that he himself would eventually become a figure that others wanted to overthrow. The so-called karmic reincarnation is like this.
Brezhnev himself could not have imagined that a very ordinary night would become the day of his unexpected death
Brezhnev, whose full name was Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, was a veteran Communist of the Soviet Union who made few meritorious contributions in the process of participating in the revolution.
But Brezhnev had the ability to lead the troops, had a strategy for fighting wars, and was not necessarily strong in power. In 1964 he replaced Khrushchev, thus beginning eighteen years of Soviet administration. However, the Soviet Union did not change much during these years, and even because Brezhnev promoted a cult of personality and economic reforms were conservative, the Soviet economy almost came to a standstill.
Therefore, although Brezhnev was the supreme leader of the Soviet Union at that time, there was already a big gap within the actual political situation. This included the original contradictions within society at that time, but it had not really exploded.
Until November 9, 1982, Brezhnev wandered around the Kremlin for some time, resting after the work was done. After that, as usual, he took the car back to his home, the villa on the other side.
By dinnertime, Brezhnev was fine, and he ate some milk residue and drank a little tea. No one expected that in the process of drinking tea, Brezhnev suddenly had an unbearable sore throat, and at one point only had to open his mouth to breathe. Under such circumstances, no one proposed to ask a doctor for him, and he did not say it himself. Later, Brezhnev watched TV in front of the TV for a while, and then he left until the news started and went straight back to his bedroom to rest.
Until nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the 10th, Medvedev, a personal guard on duty, was handed over to another colleague named Sobayankov. Don't get me wrong, this Medvedev is not Russian Pygmedvedev.
Just as Medvedev was about to leave, Sobayankov stopped him and proposed that the two of them go together to wake Brezhnev first, and then let him leave in a car. This is not the first time this has happened, although it has not happened many times.
It was at this time that Medvedev entered Brezhnev's bedroom only to find that their supreme leader was lying on the bed in a very strange posture: facing the sky on his back, his chin on his chest, the pillow completely reversed, and he slept very uncomfortably at first glance.
Sobayankov opened the curtains, and the noise did not wake the leader. Medvedev felt strange, so he gently shook Brezhnev's arm, but there was no response. So, he tried harder, but still there was no response.
At this time Sobayankov seemed to understand something, and said to Medvedev: Isn't it dead? Then he immediately shouted, "Quick, call the chief guard." ”
Medvedev and Sobayankov were both KGBs of the Soviet Union, and their abilities were not bad, and in such a situation, they did not think of any other accidents, which was bound to be a mystery.
Brezhnev died, so suddenly, but some people were not at all surprised
The chief guard, oleg Stroronov, received a call and came to Brezhnev's bedroom in a matter of minutes. At this point, these people discovered another strange problem: Brezhnev's residence did not have a medical system, let alone a nurse and other duty staff, not even a cardiopulmonary resuscitation machine for emergency use.
Under such circumstances, Medvedev and the chief guard performed artificial rescue for Brezhnev, and it is said that artificial respiration was used. And it took more than half an hour until another senior Soviet leader, Yuri Andropov, arrived.
At that time, this was the dialogue between them, and Andropov asked: "How is he?" Medvedev said: "I think he's dead. Hearing this, Andropov did not make a sound and went straight out. Medvedev chased him out: "What are you going to do now?" Andropov, on the other hand, did not answer him.
After Medvedev returned to Brezhnev's bedroom, The director of the Soviet Ministry of Health, Chazov, arrived, listened to Medvedev's treatment, and only nodded his head and said that he had done the right thing. Then, instead of looking at Brezhnev, Chazov went straight to Andropov. A few emergency medical personnel came to the back, and after ten minutes of rescue, they were stopped by Chazov, who came back: "That's it." Then he said to Andropov: "The rescue is ineffective." ”
In this way, a generation of national leaders died, what causes they died, why there were no doctors on duty, why rescue workers arrived so late, and the process was so wonderful that no one knew, let alone mentioned.
Even later in the course of the investigation, Chazov went so far as to say that he had arrived earlier than the rescuers, and he had picked up his secretary halfway in order to show him the way to Brezhnev's house. The most ridiculous thing is that the Chazo people said that when he saw Sobayankov doing artificial rescue for Brezhnev, he already saw from the outside that Brezhnev was dead.
It was so light and breezy, but in fact Brezhnev took part in the military parade of the October Revolution three days ago. Occasional throat discomfort occurred on the night of death and did not seek medical attention. At this time, Brezhnev was already in his seventies, and a head of state was treated like this?
In addition, according to Chazov, the scene was a bit chaotic at that time, which made Andropov very unhappy at one point. But when he told him to say goodbye to Brezhnev's body, Andropov showed great discomfort: his face was pale and trembling. Whether this is fear or sadness, I am afraid that only Andropov himself knows.
One particularly strange problem is that Brezhnev had already written his departure report before that, in which he made it clear that Shelbytsky should take up his post. But after Brezhnev's sudden death, Andropov became the supreme leader, and everything came to an end.
Perhaps Brezhnev himself died suddenly, after all, he was in his seventies and his body was not healthy. But the outside world still showed great doubts about his death: if it was a normal death, then Brezhnev's family did not have a doctor, the guards carried out rescue for more than half an hour before someone arrived, Andropov and others are not at all surprised... What is the explanation for all this doubt? Medvedev was the only witness anyway, but his words were full of contradictions, didn't they?
