Chapter 323
In January, Yuri accompanied Khrushchev to Warsaw, Poland, because the newly established Polish government asked Moscow for assistance. This request for assistance involved many aspects, including a request for the Soviet Union to help build the city of Warsaw.
Throughout the war, especially during the Warsaw Uprising before the Soviet army liberated Warsaw, this ancient city was almost completely destroyed by the German army. The newly established Polish government was unable to complete the reconstruction of the city, so it had to ask for help from its "owners".
Although the Soviet Union itself was facing many difficulties at the moment and was planning the construction project of the Palace of Soviets, and there was a shortage of building materials in all aspects, Comrade Stalin still accepted the request of the Polish government and not only sent a large number of experts but also supplied almost a huge amount of resources to Poland.
However, the Poles were obviously not satisfied with the reconstruction plan proposed by Soviet experts. They did not like the reconstruction plan proposed by Moscow because that plan was to tear down all the remaining buildings in Warsaw and build a completely different Warsaw city on the ruins. The Poles wanted to restore Warsaw to its original appearance. Yes, to restore it to its original state. In order to do this, the Poles even collected old Warsaw photos kept by everyone across the country, and then put together the valuable parts to restore the city bit by bit.
Khrushchev’s temper was not very good, at least he was not as easy to talk to as Rokossovsky. He was very annoyed by the excessive demands made by the Poles. Therefore, after staying in Warsaw for only two months, he returned to Moscow on the pretext of illness and left all the work to the Poles - and he also took the Soviet experts with him. From this point of view, Khrushchev’s practice of withdrawing experts whenever he was angry was also well-prescribed.
Yuri naturally had no interest in wallowing in the muddy waters of Warsaw. Although he had a very good relationship with Rokossovsky, he had no good feelings towards the Poles in his heart , because he thought the people of this country were very strange. In a place surrounded by wars and in a state of poverty and backwardness, they had a kind of great power sentiment. They felt that everything in the world was related to them, no matter if it was related to them or not, and they had to intervene. It was really the so-called "Asia has South Korea, Europe has Poland".
When I returned to Moscow from Warsaw, it was already March. The weather in Moscow had begun to warm up, but the cold wave that enveloped the entire Soviet Union had not subsided. Not only had it not subsided, it had instead tended to intensify.
This cold wave started from the literary and art circles and quickly spread to the academic world. Comrade Zhdanov was no longer cursing in private, he had already cursed in newspapers and magazines, and of course, he had also cursed some people to their faces.
When an action or an event eventually evolves into a movement, the problem of escalation is inevitable. As the scope of the impact becomes wider, innocent people will naturally be injured by mistake. However, as individuals, these innocent people have no ability to refute the storm of the movement and will ultimately become victims.
…
It was already late at night. In a villa on the Moscow River, Yuri came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. Looking at Angela lying on the bed, the corners of his lips, which were originally pursed, slightly curled up, and a smile appeared on his slightly fatter face.
As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage. After staying in Warsaw for more than two months, we finally returned to Moscow today. Back home, the young couple always has to have some fun .
Angelica has always been a woman who understands romance. She has always attached great importance to maintaining her husband's feelings for her, so tonight she put on delicate light makeup and wore a brand new military skirt.
The hem of the military skirt was cut short, only reaching a palm's height above the knee, and the two straight and round thighs were covered with flesh-colored stockings - these stockings were not the thick warm stockings, but high-end ones from the United States. In order to get a few pairs of such stockings, Angela spent a lot of effort.
Seeing Anjelia dressed so seductively, Yuri was so excited that he couldn't describe it. As a person who was reborn, no matter how philandering he was in this world, no matter how outstanding the women he had been with were, he could not find the feeling of his previous life. After all, the society at that time was in a different state, and the temptation was also in a different state. In comparison, the current Anjelia gave him a feeling of returning to his previous life.
Walking quickly to the bed, Yuri impatiently threw his bathrobe aside, knelt on the bed with one leg, reached out to hold Anjelia's right ankle, lifted her attractive long leg, leaned over and kissed her calf wrapped in stockings...
An unknown amount of time had passed before the sudden ringing of the phone startled Yuri, who was in a dazed state. He subconsciously reached out and held down Angelica, who was burying her head between his legs . He took two deep breaths and then picked up the telephone receiver from the bedside table.
The call was from a woman who spoke unclearly with a distinct accent, as if from Minsk. Yuri frowned and listened for a while, then confirmed twice before he realized that the other party was looking for Andeliya.
"It seems to be looking for you," Yuri said with a breath after handing the phone to Angeliya.
"Oh?" Angelica frowned, covered her mouth and climbed up from between his legs. One hand was still moving, and she took the phone with her left hand.
Yuri leaned on the pillow, squinting his eyes and enjoying his wife's tenderness. He didn't listen carefully to the voice coming from the phone. He just listened to Anjelia's perfunctory response until the end, when she said: "I will find a way, but, as you know, Sutova, this kind of thing is very serious. I can't promise you anything...Okay, that's it, go to bed early."
Hearing his wife's call end, Yuri opened his eyes, reached out to take the receiver, put it back on the phone, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing." Angeliya seemed to hesitate for a moment, but soon smiled and said, "It's just that a relative in Minsk asked me to do something for her."
"Is it difficult?" Yuri caught the slight change in her expression and asked.
"Let's talk about it later. You're not satisfied yet," Angelica smiled seductively and bent down again.
After a long time, when the wind and rain in the bedroom stopped, Anjeliya came out of the bathroom naked after rinsing her mouth. Yuri asked about the phone call again, and Anjeliya hesitantly told him what happened.
The person who called was Anteliya's aunt, who had a son, Igor Andreevich Belanov, who was Anteliya's cousin.
Although he is Andeliya's cousin, Igor is more than ten years older than her and is almost 40 years old this year. He graduated from Gorky Agricultural College, the same school where Lukashenko later studied.
After graduating from school, Igor has been working at the Minsk Agricultural Research Institute, where his main research direction is botany. The person who leads his work is Valery Vasilyevich Buyarsky, a well-known botanist in the Soviet Union.
During this period, as criticism of the literary, artistic and academic circles spread across the Soviet Union, the scope of the movement began to spread to the academic and scientific circles, and the term "Shakhitism" began to resurface.
The term "Schachtites" originated in 1929, when the 16th National Congress of the Bolshevik Party proposed the policy of launching a socialist offensive on the scientific front and triggered a campaign to investigate bourgeois scientific theories. In this massive campaign, many famous Soviet scientists were labeled "anti-Soviet idealists" and were persecuted for this, and many were even exiled.
This catastrophe dealt a heavy blow to the Soviet Union's scientific research, and it took many years to recover.
Then, before the outbreak of World War II, the same catastrophe swept .
Now, a similar storm is coming again.
Not long ago, in Minsk, Buyarsky was taken away by the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs, along with Andelya's cousin Igor, because someone reported that they were still conducting "reactionary" and "bourgeois" Mendelian genetics research.
Angelica's aunt was old, in her sixties, and she didn't know what exercise was, let alone the seriousness of the matter. She knew that her son had been taken away, so she went to Angelica's father, hoping to rescue her son.
But she didn't understand the situation, but Angelica's father understood it very well, so he directly rejected the other party's request. Even if it was a relative of his own family, he couldn't help with this kind of thing, and he didn't have the courage to help.
So, the old lady, who was at her wits' end, turned to Anjelia for help. Little did she know that Anjelia had already received a call from her father and knew what was going on.
If possible, Angelica absolutely did not want her husband to know about this. Of course, she did not want her husband to get involved in such things. As a person working in group affairs, how could she not know the complexity of such matters?
Don't think that Yuri can be involved in everything just because he is in this position today. He doesn't have that much power yet. To be honest, with Comrade Stalin's trust in him, no one would attack him if his private life was promiscuous or even corrupt. After all, in the core circle of Moscow , everyone who could threaten Yuri knew that Comrade Stalin regarded his private life as a joke.
But if he got involved in such things, and others used them to attack him, it would be difficult to guess Comrade Stalin's attitude.
