The assassin took the car of astronauts and space experts as Brezhnev's car. After the incident, Brezhnev, who took the third car of the team, was injured in the corner of his eye and immediately transferred to the fifth car to leave the scene quickly. After this incident, the live broadcast of Soviet TV station was once interrupted, and the news that Brezhnev was killed came out.
The incident happened very suddenly. Although the KGB had some clues in advance, the assassination took place. Brezhnev was very angry about the assassination and ordered the KGB to find out the truth.
Brezhnev's view on this matter is extreme. He believes that this incident is not accidental, but that those who oppose him in the Soviet Union want to kill him. Therefore, the KGB is strictly required to find out this matter. However, the results of the survey were deliberately created by a young man who was dissatisfied with the treatment. The young man stole a gun and his uncle's police uniform, which led to the assassination.
Brezhnev is certainly not satisfied with this conclusion. I felt that the KGB didn't find out the matter clearly, and then made an in-depth investigation. It turned out that it was his brother-in-law Tsvigun who suppressed the news, and andropov, the head of the KGB at that time, learned it only in an emergency. Andropov's improvisation saved Brezhnev from the robbery. Although the KGB was ruled out, Brezhnev still had a shadow in his heart, thinking that someone was behind him and worried that someone in the Soviet Union would target him.
Anyway, the assassination made Brezhnev gasp, and from then on, he had the idea of rectifying and cleaning up the inside. But his prestige and ability are not enough to kill people. Because of Khrushchev or Brezhnev, their prestige failed to catch up with the family. So Brezhnev made a big fuss about employing people.
Brezhnev thinks that kosygin, shelepin, Shelest and Podgorni of the Soviet leadership are all suspected and pose a threat to him. But kosygin was an expert in economy and had no ambition, but Brezhnev still didn't trust him, so he planted five cronies beside kosygin.
For shelepin Brezhnev, he was directly transferred to the deputy in charge of education, and the promising young shelepin fell out of power.
The forces of Podgorica and Shelest are mainly in Ukraine. Although they have no army, they have administrative power in Ukraine. Ukraine is Brezhnev's hometown. Brezhnev adopted the policy of descending from the sky to Shelest, in order to remove his real power, and then comprehensively adjust the leadership, so that his cronies mastered the power of Ukraine. Since then, Shelest has no capital against Brezhnev. Podgorni was the president of the Soviet Union. At this time, the president of the Soviet Union was an empty shelf, but he still felt uneasy and took up his post by himself.
In this way, all important positions are basically Brezhnev's cronies, and his worries and fears can be completely lifted.
Through such a clean-up and rectification, Brezhnev used all the cadres who listened to his words and were loyal to himself. At that time, Brezhnev's classmates, comrades-in-arms, relatives and friends, and all cadres who had access to Brezhnev used them. This has formed a circle of relatives and friends.
However, Brezhnev used these people with average ability. Some people only have primary school education, and some even have social scum. In particular, Xu, chosen by Brezhnev for his daughter, is a policeman with only a primary school education. He is very handsome and is loved by his daughter. Together with his father-in-law Brezhnev, he became the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs.
Brezhnev's son-in-law can't do his job, but he is good at making money by taking advantage of his position. The Soviet Ministry of Supervision wanted to investigate and was reprimanded by Brezhnev. Brezhnev's cronyism in the use of cadres greatly hurt the Soviet Union. During his administration, the ranks of cadres were rigid and basically did not flow. Some cadres refused to retire when they reached retirement age, which made the Soviet cadres lose their vitality. Over time, many cadres have developed antipathy and even turned into hatred.
A young man was dissatisfied with his treatment and created an assassination of the head of state. Although it was found out, the suspicious and incompetent Brezhnev still suspected that someone inside the Soviet Union wanted his life. Therefore, he reorganized and cleaned up the ranks of cadres, and brought those mediocre people and social scum into the ranks of cadres, which not only made it impossible for the Soviet Union to select and train outstanding cadres, but also used people like Gorbachev and Yeltsin in important positions. In the end, it was these people who became the driving force behind the disintegration of the Soviet Union and accelerated the pace of its demise.
