"I trust others too much!"
1990 65438+In February, Boris Pugo, 53, was appointed as the Minister of Interior by Soviet President Gorbachev. Soon, he was awarded the rank of general. Pug was the chairman of the Central Management Committee in the Soviet Union for three years. He also served as the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Latvian Production Party and the chairman of the Latvian KGB.
199 1 year, the development of domestic events inevitably pushed people like Pug into the ranks of protesters and opponents, especially his appearance at the Supreme Soviet Conference was even more remarkable. In early August, Pugo went to a nursing home in Crimea for a holiday. /kloc-On the morning of August, 2008, someone saw him on the Black Sea Beach, but Pug returned to Moscow that night and joined the National Emergency Committee without hesitation.
On the afternoon of August 2 1, it was obvious that the coup plan of the "National Emergency Committee" failed, and the Office of the Attorney General of the Russian Federation announced that all members of the "National Emergency Committee" would be interrogated. When Pug came home that night, he found that his internal telephone with all senior officials had been cut off.
Pug and his wife valentina went upstairs to their son Vadim's room. The dialogue between them is very sad. In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Pugo are saying goodbye to their son and daughter-in-law. At that time, Puge mentioned that he would definitely be caught. Before that, Valentine asked her husband where his weapon was, because she thought that once her husband died, she would not drag out an ignoble existence in this world. At 9: 00 am on the 22nd, Pug called the assistant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and asked about their situation. When the assistant asked Pug if he went to the office that day, he asked why not. At the end of the conversation, Pug asked them to greet his first deputy. Soon, Puge received a phone call from the Russian intelligence agency. "Can we meet you?" Two of Yeltsin's cronies want to ask him questions. Pug said, "Then please come to my place."
When they arrived at his house, Pug's father-in-law opened the door for them. He said to the bearer, "A terrible thing happened." The interior minister was lying in bed at this time, and blood was constantly flowing out of his temple. His wife Valentin is sitting on the floor next to another bed. She is still alive. Soon she died in the hospital. Pug wrote in his last words: "I trust others too much. I have been honest all my life." His wife valentina's suicide note is even more concise: "I don't want to live any longer, don't blame us, take care of my grandfather. Mom. " The conclusion of the investigation afterwards was suicide.
The funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Pugo was held in Moscow two days later, which hardly attracted anyone's attention.
The death of marshal
On August 24th, the day when Pugo and his wife were buried, Sergei AhLomov, the military adviser of Soviet President Gorbachev, ended his life with a nylon rope in the office of the first building of the Kremlin. It was not until late at night that the body of the 68-year-old marshal was found by an officer in the Kremlin commander's office.
It was Saturday, and the officer was preparing to go to Marshal Ahromev to check his belongings. Investigators from the military prosecutor's office immediately rushed to the scene with cameras. All the safes are locked. It was found that there were six handwritten notes on Marshal Lomov's desk, two of which were for his family. One was to ask his family to pay off the debt of the Kremlin fast food restaurant for him (money aside), and the other was to explain the reason for his suicide. He wrote: "when my motherland is dying, when I always think that all the reasons for my existence are being destroyed, I can't continue to live." My age and my life have given me the right to leave this world, and I fought to the end. "
Ahlomif is not a member of the National Emergency Committee. He didn't know about the establishment of the committee until the morning of August in 19, when Ahlomif was on vacation with his wife and grandchildren. He decided to return to Moscow immediately, while his family stayed in the nursing home.
On the evening of August 65438, 2009, Marshal Akhmev appeared in the Kremlin. In the afternoon 10, he met with the coup leader, Vice President yanayev. Ahlomif expressed his support for the appeal made by the National Emergency Committee to the people of the whole country and was willing to provide help at any time. Throughout the 20th, Marshal Akhmev shuttled between the Kremlin and the Ministry of National Defense to collect information on the country's military and political situation. He spent the night in the office and telephoned his daughter and wife.
On August 2 1 day, it was obvious that the National Emergency Committee failed, but Alomyff had already realized the final outcome of the matter before that.
On August 22nd, Akhlomiv learned that Gorbachev had returned to Moscow and that Defense Minister Yazov had been arrested. He didn't go to see Gorbachev. Akhlomiv began to write to Gorbachev, preparing to make a statement at the Supreme Soviet meeting on the 26th. In a diary with many words, Ahromev wrote: "Why should I go back to Moscow? Nobody ordered me to do this. I'm sure this adventure plan will fail. When I arrived in Moscow, my fears were confirmed. But since 1990, our country has been heading for disaster. Gorbachev is good to me, but what is best for me is my motherland. At least, there is a sign left in history: people protest against the destruction of such a great country. "
According to Marshal Ahromev's two daughters, on the evening of 23rd, their father looked normal. They had dinner together and bought a watermelon. The father and daughter also discussed the latest development of the situation together. Marshal went to the Kremlin on the morning of 24th 10, and promised to take his granddaughters for a walk that night. In the Kremlin office, Akhmev and his daughter discussed going to Moscow to pick up his wife at 3 pm. However, an hour later, Ahlomif committed suicide.
It can be seen from Akhromir's diary that as early as August 23rd, Marshal Akhromir was already considering suicide, but he just didn't make up his mind. On the morning of 24th, Gorbachev's statement was broadcast on radio and television. Gorbachev announced his resignation as general secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and demanded that the Central Committee of the Soviet Union dissolve itself. Some friends of Marshal Ahromev believe that this statement is a fatal blow to Marshal Ahromev.
It was not until August 25 that the TV station announced the news of Marshal Ahromev's suicide. On August 26th, the newspaper reported the incident in more detail, citing information from the Attorney General's office. No official obituary was issued, and neither the President nor the newly appointed defense minister publicly expressed their condolences over Ahlomif's death.
The most concerned about the fate of the late marshal is American five-star general William Crowe Crowe, who served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army during the Reagan administration. In various military negotiations, he spent a lot of time with Alemy. General Crowe has great respect for this Soviet opponent. He has repeatedly called Ahromev's family to express his condolences, but all failed. Finally, Croso, an American journalist he knew, went to see Ahlomif's widow and daughter and expressed his condolences to them. He also placed a wreath at the grave of Marshal Ahromov. The American general also published a long article in Time magazine in memory of Marshal Akhmev, and distributed a photo with Marshal Akhmev while inspecting the air raid in a military exercise.
"I am not a traitor, but I am afraid."
1991in the early morning of August 26th, Kruchina's body was suddenly found on the sidewalk beside an apartment building of a senior official of the Soviet Central Committee. Kruchina is a member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and director of the General Affairs Bureau of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. He is closely related to Gorbachev and lives on the fifth floor of an apartment building.
Autopsy results show that Kruchina committed suicide. His wife and youngest son were still sleeping in the bedroom. They learned the shocking news at 6 am. Kruchina was still busy when mother and son slept the night before. In the last few days of his life, he had too much work to deal with and almost no time to sleep.
People found two notes he wrote before he died, one of which was placed on the coffee table in the living room, and the other was found during the autopsy in the hospital. This note reads: "I am not a traitor or a schemer, but I am afraid ..." At the same time, he claims that he is loyal to Gorbachev and can distinguish right from wrong. I hope the world knows this.
Kruchina's death caused a lot of speculation. He is in charge of all domestic and foreign bank accounts of the Soviet Central Bank. Unlike Pugo and Ahlomif, all the offices where Kruchinar stayed were thoroughly searched. Under the supervision of three heads of the Soviet Procuratorate, and in the presence of Moscow prosecutors, the criminal expert team made a careful search of Kruchina's residence. The search showed that there was no indication that any uninvited guests had entered Kruchina's residence, and no documents were intentionally destroyed. On the contrary, after August of 19, Kruchina deliberately transferred many documents left in the office to his residence, and all the folders were neatly arranged, with the signatures of senior officials on their covers. Later, these materials were confiscated.
However, Kruchina's office in the Central Committee of the Soviet Union was not so neat. On the evening of August 23, Gorbachev, who returned to Moscow, ordered Kluwer to tighten spending. However, due to the closure of the office building of the General Affairs Bureau at that time, Kluwer failed to complete the task given to him by Gorbachev on time.
Shortly after Kruchina committed suicide, his office and all other major offices of the Soviet Central Committee were closed, including the famous office No.6 on the fifth floor of the Central Committee Building, which used to be the office of the general secretary of the Soviet Central Committee.
Kruchina manages huge assets: thousands of office buildings and residential buildings, hundreds of suburban resorts, dozens of cars and many nursing homes, holiday hotels and hospitals. The Soviet Production Party also controls nearly 200 large and small publishing houses. In addition, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has provided a considerable amount of financial assistance to many foreign producers and sponsored many projects. * * * The producer's economic activities are not limited to party membership fees or publication sales income. Therefore, it is not surprising that the thorough search of Crewe Cinar is not only related to the coup of the National Emergency Committee.
Information:
199 1 year, Gorbachev and the leaders of nine countries that joined the Republic of * * * issued a statement advocating the signing of a new treaty on the alliance of sovereign States (the new Ogarevo Treaty), and the draft should be signed on August 20th. The draft changed the name of the country from "Soviet Socialist Alliance" to "Soviet Sovereign Alliance" and abandoned socialism, which caused great shock in the Soviet Union and became the fuse of the "August 19 Incident" in the Soviet Union.
19 In August, in order to catch up with the signing of the new alliance treaty, while President Gorbachev was on vacation in Crimea, eight people headed by Soviet First Vice President yanayev formed a "national emergency committee" in an attempt to overthrow Gorbachev. Yanayev announced that he was the chairman of the acting president's committee. Committee members include Soviet Prime Minister Pavlov, Defense Minister Yazov, Security Committee member Kruckov and Interior Minister Pug and other senior officials. They published "A Letter to the Soviet People", in which they said that the reform policy advocated by Gorbachev had reached a dead end. They appealed to Soviet citizens to support the committee. The Soviet Ministry of Defence ordered the troops to implement a state of emergency, and the commander of the Moscow garrison announced a curfew in the capital.
After the incident, Russian President Yeltsin announced in Moscow that the "National Emergency Committee" and all its orders were illegal. Russian leaders, Leningrad Soviet leaders and the mayor of Moscow successively issued statements in support of Yeltsin. Strikes have been declared in some parts of Russia. There is a serious confrontation between these two political forces.
On the afternoon of August 2 1 day, the situation changed obviously. The Ministry of National Defense announced the withdrawal of the troops that ordered the implementation of the state of emergency, the commander of the Moscow garrison announced the lifting of the curfew in the capital, and some members of the State Emergency Committee flew to Crimea to meet Gorbachev. That night, Gorbachev issued a statement saying that he had completely controlled the domestic situation. Interior Minister Pugo committed suicide and other members of the National Emergency Committee were arrested.
After the "August 19 incident", Yeltsin owned all the property of the Soviet Union and Russia, and the Soviet Union, internal affairs, security, diplomacy, finance and other important departments were reorganized. Yeltsin also took over the Soviet National Bank. Gorbachev was marginalized.
19911On February 8, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus signed a document on the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States in Belovezh, Belarus. 199 1 1 2+013 Soviet heads of state11met in Almaty, officially announced the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States, and informed Gorbachev that the Soviet Union no longer existed and the CIS did not have a president.
19911On February 25th, Gorbachev made a televised speech and officially announced his resignation. Since then, the history of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has ended.
