USSR 1991

"In this public security operation, more than 500 firearms were confiscated in Moscow alone. Most of these are firearms from World War II, and some even have bullets." Pugot reported the situation at work to Yanayev progress.

Hearing that only 500 firearms were confiscated, Yanayev was a little disturbed.According to Lao Maozi's tradition, if you don't confiscate a few T34 tanks or anti-tank guns, I'm really embarrassed to say that you have completed a confiscation operation.

Originally, the general secretary did not need to ask about these matters at all, but Yanayev made a special trip to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire about the situation.It's not because Yanayev cares so much about such trivial matters, but because Yanayev is interested in this matter.

In Yanayev's view, Russian teenagers should not sit in front of the TV or computer all day and move their fingers, learn military knowledge through military shooting games, or be a keyboard politician brainwashed by foreign ideas.At least it should make people feel that the youth of the Slavic nation is the next generation of blood.

Yanayev does not want the current youth of the motherland to become like him when he was still a youth in the Republic, and the peers around him have become the generation that has been scourgeed by the crossfire game.

But how to maintain a balance between bloodiness and maintaining social stability, this is what Yanayev has to think about.At least the national conditions are different. It is impossible for Yanayev to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to the firearms issue. In the eyes of the Russians, the government is a lazy way of governing.If it is said that selling toy guns is punishable by ten years in prison, that is a big joke of the laws of a country.

But if the control of guns is not strengthened, the gradual loosening of the social atmosphere in the future will also lead to the proliferation of guns. Yanayev does not want the Soviet Union to become an area with frequent shootings like the United States.After putting an end to the threat of guns, the government also began to plan to promote pneumatic gun toys among the public, so as to alleviate the possible consequences of Russians banning guns in the future.

"Pneumatic gun toys?" Surkov was a little baffled. The promotion of these things has nothing to do with the Soviet Propaganda Department, which is in charge of ideology. Why did Yanayev suddenly come to the door because of such a trivial matter? ?

"Yes, the government will come forward to promote our future gun ban." Yanayev said, "In fact, it should be said to divert the attention of the people, so that their attention is not supported by our gun ban bill. Move out."

"Banning guns...?" If Surkov was shocked by the reduction of the functions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the planned reduction of the functions of the KGB, the ban on guns, which violated the traditions of the Slavic nation, was even more surprising.The shock was as outrageous as Gorbachev's prohibition on alcohol.

"With all due respect, General Secretary Yanayev. The use of firearms has always been a Slavic tradition, and the Soviet government's supervision of firearms is already very strict. People simply cannot buy fully automatic firearms in sporting goods stores. If If you ban guns rashly, it may cause very serious consequences."

"Of course I know how much resistance there is to banning guns, but don't forget that Gorbachev's prohibition on alcohol came into effect. We don't live in the United States, Comrade Surkov. Americans want to pass the gun ban bill, they have to Ask those giants of arms companies who bought congressional seats." Yanayev said disdainfully.One of the most convenient things in a socialist country is that certain laws can be passed without the influence of third party interest groups.

"That's why I need the Soviet Propaganda Department to promote the development of pneumatic firearms, and spread it as a sports competition. First, this is an activity that has always been for physical fitness, and sports events can be spread among young people. Through this event, we can learn more about the Soviet Union. The military culture of the Red Army. Secondly, through such sports events, patriotism can also be cultivated, and the national cohesion and unity atmosphere can be improved."

"The most important thing is that the development of air-operated firearms can divert the public's anger caused by the ban on guns. When the vast majority of people find that they can still use firearms, it will ease their dissatisfaction with the government. Let alone the development of this sporting event It can also increase the government’s tax revenue.”

Yanayev said clearly that banning guns can not only relieve the pressure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to maintain political stability from the root of the law, but also become an excellent way to spread patriotism.After that, the WARGAME sports competition, which became popular all over the world, also became a way for the US government to promote the image of the army and popularize weapons and military knowledge.

"So in future newspapers we will publicize the dangers of firearms to the public, but also publicize the safety of pneumatic firearms to the public, so that our gun ban bill will naturally be promoted." Of course, in the safety of pneumatic firearms On the issue, Yanayev naturally wants to let the arsenal to solve the research and development of civilian guns.

"Comrade Surkov, I leave the rest to you. I hope the propaganda department can make use of their strengths." Yanayev patted Surkov on the shoulder, encouraging him.

Sure enough, a few days later, many reports about air-operated firearms appeared in the news media. Just like a convention, the government vigorously promoted the development of air-operated sports rifles, and at the same time listed the dangers of privately concealed guns.Especially in the United States, where shootings occur frequently, almost all Soviet newspapers publish news about American shootings.

Agile people can detect a certain connection between two news at once.They think that the government is already preparing to further weaken the people.Of course, the government's propaganda is not omnipotent, and there will be voices of opposition in the society. For example, some people think that it is a symbol of a dictator and deprives the people of their legal right to hold guns.But the government's next move was like a slap in the face of those people.

The Soviet government advocated shooting sports in the shooting range, and shooting entertainment in an atmosphere of security supervision, rather than playing secretly in private.As a result, those who scolded the dictatorship of the Soviet government had no choice but to shut their mouths obediently.

Despite complaints that those gas-operated rifles are like children's toys, the toys a real Russian man should have are vodka, Kalashnikovs, and armored vehicles.

But everyone knows that the central government's decision to ban guns is too strong to be refuted. They released the news to the society not to bargain with the public, but to test their reaction, and to greet the public in advance.Don't be like the previous general secretary who promulgated the prohibition order silently, only to attract a lot of scolding.

After eradicating all obstacles, the gun ban has also entered the legislative period.

2 Chapter [-] Internal Religion Issues

The gun ban bill can be implemented much faster than the reform of the Ministry of the Interior. The reform of the Ministry of the Interior needs to coordinate the interests of various departments, as well as the deployment of manpower.Moreover, banning guns was just a matter of a word between the top Soviet leaders, coupled with the well-planned promotion of public opinion, the gun ban bill was quickly promoted and implemented.

Bureaucratic decision-making among the Soviet governments was often a one-sentence matter, all decisions that slapped the thigh.Of course, this kind of situation does not only exist between the Soviet government, but also happens in the US Congress. The most famous thigh-slapping incident is undoubtedly the A50 project proposed during the US-Soviet arms race in the 119s. The US military intends to detonate a bomb on the moon. A nuclear bomb, creating a mushroom cloud that can be seen by people all over the world, in order to show their own strength, so as to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.Yanayev usually only has a simple comment on this kind of nuclear test that is obviously used for showing off and showing off but has no practical use.

"Damn, retarded."

So from now on, the implementation of important bills in the Soviet Union will first let the public know and observe the public's reaction. If the public's reaction is not particularly fierce, or even maintains a positive attitude, then the government will pass the bill.If the public's reaction was extremely fierce, then Yanayev stopped this practice.

In the hands of the Soviet government, there is no such thing as political correctness. Protecting the rights of the Soviets and the people of the motherland is their fundamental starting point.Anyone who dares to propose a bill similar to the halal food law will definitely throw that representative into the Kazan mental hospital and let him receive electric shock therapy.

According to the Russian people, sorry, our favorite is smoked pork sausage and vodka, we will not accommodate you people for a religion, so you love to eat, and starve to death if you don’t eat.

However, Yanayev still underestimated the spiritual persistence of the group of Muslims. A demonstration about Muslims broke out in the Caucasus region, and strongly demanded that the Soviet government respect their eating customs. As they say in the law, respect for religion and human rights, Muslims are also human beings, strongly set up halal food, set up Muslim halal occasions, and respect religion.

Needless to say, it must be that some people with ulterior motives were being disturbed behind the scenes. Yanayev knew very well that this group of Muslims would not dare to stand up and speak out unanimously if there were no others behind the scenes to stir up the flames.As for the driving force behind it, there must be shadows of Western intelligence agencies and Turkey without even thinking about it.

This reminded Yanayev of the Orthodox Church that was very popular in Russia at the time. Perhaps these "moderate" Muslims forgot one thing, that is, in the first five years of the establishment of the Soviet Union, a total of 28 bishops and more than 1200 priests were killed. Priest; out of more than 54000 churches in Russia before World War I, only 1941 were still open in 500.Stalin used the most bloody means to warn religious actions on Soviet soil not to try to challenge the authority of communism.

After experiencing Gorbachev's incorrect ethnic relations and the wrong ethnic policy of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs Shevardnadze (not the current one), Islamic extremism in the Caucasus region has begun to revive. The most obvious It's the war in Chechnya.When the dream of those rebels trying to establish a unified Great Caliphate in the Caucasus was strangled in the cradle, they adopted another method, that is, peaceful demonstrations.

No wonder the Caucasian Mohammedans acted as moderate Muslims when they were out of power, demanding respect for their sovereignty.Once you gain power, you will directly coup d'état and put a knife on your neck. You neither believe in religion nor die, which makes me very embarrassed.

Yanayev called Kadyrov Jr. As an agent of the interests of the Soviet Union in Chechnya, Kadyrov Jr. exerted considerable influence.What's more, Yanayev also allowed the other party to have an army in Chechnya, and he could dispatch it at any time. Although he was only responsible for security and stability, it was enough for Kadyrov Jr.After all, he didn't have the talent of his own father to command an army and bargain with Moscow.

The suppression of religious activities cannot be done by the government. It is better to choose the same proxy for the interests of Islam, at least to give human rights organizations an aboveboard reason. The Soviet Union does not persecute religious activities now.

"Hello." Little Kadyrov picked up the phone. After he heard the person on the other end of the phone announce his name, the face of this person changed instantly.He held the microphone and whispered, "General Secretary Yanayev, what are your orders?"

"I just want to know what happened to the Muslim protests that broke out in Chechnya recently?" Yanayev acted calmly, as if he was telling an unimportant matter.

"That's right." Little Kadyrov scratched his head and said, "The recent food laws promoted by the government have dissatisfied the Wahhabi Muslims. They are a fundamentalist faction, and they strictly follow the Koran. We worldly Sufis..."

"That's enough, little Kadyrov. I don't want to hear these explanations for the time being. The explanations are an afterthought." Yanayev said straight to the point, "I don't want this to happen in the Caucasus. The Wahhabi faction Imam, how many armored divisions of the Soviet army can he alone be worth?"

Little Kadyrov's heart suddenly tightened, because he remembered that during the Chechen war, Soviet tanks directly crushed the Islamic jihadists who were still breathing.In this way, the Soviet army told the enemy who tried to resist that this is what you will end up fighting against the torrent of steel.

"So I have a task for you now. This large-scale demonstration must be terminated. Besides, don't you Sufi factions have always had estrangements and prejudices from Wahhabi factions? This is the best time for you to solve the problem .As long as you don't go too far, the Central Committee will turn a blind eye, understand?"

"What if someone else blames it?" asked Kadyrov Jr.

"Others? Who else in the Soviet Union dares to criticize Moscow's policies? If you want to talk about Western human rights organizations, sorry, this is an internal issue of Soviet religion, and they do not have too much power to govern." Yanayev said It's like giving Xiaoka's Rove a reassurance, so that he can do it boldly.

"I hope that this stability maintenance operation can be resolved within you Muslims, and it will not be convenient for the central government to intervene." Yanayev has issued an execution order to Kadyrov Jr., he said, "And I hope that in the future, in the Caucasus I can see that you have successfully resolved everything. The entire Caucasus region needs a strong leadership regime. I hope, little Kadyrov, you can shoulder important responsibilities in the future."

Not allowing him to think too much, Yanayev hung up the phone. He was equivalent to telling the other party that if the Islamic incident was handled properly, Kadyrov Jr. would not only be an agent of Chechnya's interests, but would even become a Proxy for Muslims throughout the Caucasus.

So these Wahhabi "peace" believers who demonstrated peacefully became the stepping stones for Kadyrov to climb up.They didn't even think that the people who attacked them were actually followers of the same religion.

Those Wahhabi believers have been sitting in the street for almost a day, and they haven't seen any government personnel come to negotiate with him.The imam who took the lead was a little old and couldn't bear such a day of wind and sun.Some impatient young people started smashing shops to vent their dissatisfaction and anger.

And the actions of these people are all seen by the police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are secretly watching. Their orders are that when these people start rioting, they can collect the net.

Just when they thought the government would not come to negotiate with them, the leading imam saw a group of policemen with sticks rushing here.Little Kadyrov's uniform was different from that of the Soviet military police, so they could tell at a glance that these people were not police from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Sufi military personnel.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the Soviet government to send the troops of the little devil Kadyrov to deal with us!" Originally, the imam wanted to show the ruthless side of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs to suppress religion in front of the world after the negotiations collapsed, so as to win Sympathy from the Islamic world, especially from the Turkish side.But he forgot one thing, that is, the Sufis are now a dog in front of the Soviet Communist Party, and it is perfectly appropriate to use them to suppress religious demonstrations.

So a demonstration turned into a bloody conflict between two religious factions. The young and unrestrained Kadyrov was naturally more impulsive, and the troops responsible for the suppression were ordered to fight to the death. , it is best to lie on the ground and not stand up before letting go.

So the Wahhabi faction disregarded their image as a moderate Muslim, and directly took out their hidden sticks and knives to resist. However, Kadyrov, who had already expected this, used a KS-23 shotgun to directly attack the last The little white hats in front blasted into a sieve.Even the step of firing a gun into the sky was omitted.Afterwards, Yanayev also realized that when it comes to dealing with religious issues, it is the most effective way to suppress oneself by one's own people.

How could these inexperienced Wahhabi believers be the opponents of these soldiers? They had already flooded in from all directions and surrounded everyone, ordering everyone to put down their weapons and surrender unconditionally, otherwise don't blame them for being merciless.Looking at the bleeding and moaning wounded on the ground, and the guns pointed at themselves, the rest of the people put down their knives and chose to surrender.

Only the leading imam shouted indignantly that he must let the Sufi faction make Kadyrov die.As soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted with punches and kicks.

Chapter 261 Invitation from the British Government

A riot broke out in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. The Muslims of the Wahhabi faction tried to create chaos on the site to fight for their own rights, and were finally suppressed directly and bloody by the Sufi faction military.The struggle between Islamic factions is not inferior to their crusade against Kafir, even worse.The Wahhabis who were seriously injured were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and the little white hat that had been beaten into a blood sieve was put into a body bag.

The imam, who was originally arrogant, also died down at this time, and was thrown into a pickup truck by the personnel sent by Kadyrov Jr. If the other party was from the Soviet government, the imam might dare to resist, but in the face of his cruel personality Little Kadyrov, the imam's face was pale and bloodless at this moment.

Yanayev was very satisfied with the successful resolution of the Grozny riots, especially when Western human rights organizations found an excuse to criticize the Soviet government.After all, the Soviet Union has emphasized to the outside world that this is a dispute between Muslims, the conflict between the Wahhabi faction and the Sufi faction, and the Soviet Union did not intervene.
