Preface Translator
Syuart Kagan. (Stuart Kagan) - nephew of Lazar Kaganovich. His family went to the revolution in America, and on this, their paths with the family of Lazar Kaganovich dispersed. In the early 80's Stuart Kahan, an interested person of his famous uncle, visited the Soviet Union and talked to Lazar Kaganovich in his apartment on Frunze Embankment. The result of this conversation is that book. Author does not speak Russian. Conversation with author Lazar Kaganovich were in Hebrew. Kaganovich died in 1991. Born in 1888, he lived for 103 years. His death coincided with the death of the Soviet state, the construction of which he was somehow directly involved.
Lazar Kaganovich, the second person in the state after Stalin. Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. Man united state security in what later became famous KGB. Man, personally supervised cleansing that engulfed the country in the thirties and forties. Man, persecuted people as no one before him. The man, who was personally responsible for the death of at least 20 million people. The man under whose leadership built this fantastic Moscow metro, more than twenty years bore his name. He had it all - the man to whom I am headed.
Revolutionary underground looks up. At Easter, 1911, in Kiev, was killed boy Yushchinsky.
There were persistent rumors that he was ritually sacrificed by Jewish sectarians
and September 14, 1911 in Kiev, was killed himself Prime Minister Stolypin.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Precisely at a time when the Bolsheviks took power in Russia in hand, five days before the Bolshevik Revolution, Nov. 2, 1917, the curtain of the First World War, there was another unnoticed milestone in the history of the Jewish people. Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Great British Empire, Lord Balfour, the Jews, the Zionists was donated Palestine. This was done in the form of "Lord Balfour Declaration" in the name of Lord Rothschild. Palestine then belonged to the Great Ottoman Turkish Empire. How can you give what you do not belong? - And here is this:
"Dora Lord Rothschild, I (Lord Balfour) with great pleasure to convey to you on behalf of His Majesty the following declaration to support Zionist aspirations, reviewed and approved by the Cabinet:" His Majesty's Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a Jewish national home for the Jewish people, and uses every effort to achieve this goal as soon as possible, but we have determined that this should not prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status of Jews in other countries. " I'll be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the Zionist Federation. " Lord Balfour.
At that time, has become a powerful international movement Zionist, founded in the late 19th century, Theodore Herzl. They demanded for Jews space to create their own sovereign state. They were offered the African nation of Uganda. Many have already agreed, but the aggressive Zionist delegation from Russia took it as a personal insult and refused to consider any offers but Palestine.
The British were not able to cope with the Turkish empire, so they offered the Arabs who lived there, to fight alongside British troops against the "Turkish oppressors." For this the British offered the Arabs of Palestine. Thus, the British sold the exact same thing to two different people. One of them was bound to be deceived. It is natural that these people were deceived Arabs. Arabs fight against the Turks led British secret agent, Colonel Thomas Edward Shaw, better known by his nickname "Colonel Lawrence of Arabia." The joint efforts of the Arab-British forces under the command of Colonel Lawrence broke the Turkish army.
The Balfour Declaration of Arabs plunged into shock. They realized that the British were their dirty deceived, and they have lost their land. Lawrence was also in shock. He sincerely believed that he offered the Arabs. He rushed to his superiors for clarification. Loures when riding his motorcycle at his neck, someone pulled a steel cable.
Through the efforts of its most powerful international organizations and with the support of Jews in various countries, the Zionists firmly seized political power in the United States and the British Empire and allowed them their bulldozers. Strictly speaking,
the main purpose of the First World War and the main goal of the Second World War
and was the "Balfour Declaration." was the creation of the state of Israel.
This was in fact what the Communists in their language is called the first and second stage of building a communist society? Everything else was just a minor compote, the result will be "beautiful Jewish tsimes."
As in 1917, without attracting much attention, May 14, 1948, the United Nations officially declared the establishment of two states: the Arabic and Hebrew. The Jewish state of Israel with the help of relentless U.S. and England later itself became a superpower, while the remains of a potential Arab state seeking refugee camps.
Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet Union as the representative of the United Nations, personally made every effort to create the state of Israel. President Truman, whose portrait adorns the White House in a Masonic form, sent his Secretary of State Dean Acheson to Moscow to meet with Molotov as soon as possible with respect to the recognition of the state of Israel.
Lazar met with Acheson and tried to at least delay the recognition of Israel.
- I am a Jew himself - Lazarus said Acheson - and I am against it. What good can bring a Jewish state in the Middle East? Territory - the desert. What will it be - the state of parasites? Nothing grows. No oil. Minerals not. And most importantly - what to do with millions of Arabs? We do not understand what we are doing. If the Arab countries will not like it, we would be left without oil. We have enough oil in the USSR, and you have a different situation.
Lazarus knew the situation in the U.S.. He knew that Truman hostage, and he has no other choice. From the window of the American Hospital for high-ranking officials in Washington threw Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, who was a sharp opponent of the State of Israel. Around his neck was covered previously Forrestal belt from his robe. Before that Forrestal upekli the hospital because of "nervous breakdown."
- In America, too, has its "Kremlin doctors. - I noticed this Lazarus.
Press of America announced Forrestal's suicide, he says, on the grounds of insanity. Lazarus anyone else was familiar with all the stuff. He wondered more how America provides a positive image in the press, while the USSR was transformed into an empire of evil.
Also in 1948 in the Middle East, the Israelis killed the personal envoy of the UN Swedish Prince Bernadotte, who insisted on the creation of a parallel Arab state. In April 1948, the Israeli thugs completely excised Arab village of Deir Yassin and blew up the hotel "King David", full of British soldiers. Weapon to create an army of Israel were delivered from Czechoslovakia, which was under the complete control departments Beria.
The State of Israel was proclaimed on May 14, 1948. U.S. recognized Israel on the same day. It was the synchronous operation of one organized force in many countries.
USSR recognized the state of Israel on the third day. In the Soviet Union arrived Israeli ambassador Golda Meir.
Golda Meir was a very close friend of his wife Pauline Molotov Pearl, which is studied in high school. Soviet Jews gave her a grand welcome. They filled the streets of the capital, were on duty day and night at hotel Golda Meier and enthusiastic applause greeted her every appearance. Never, no head of a foreign power had such success in the Soviet Union, not to mention some after. Moscow seethed and happy. Everything else was eclipsed.
Stalin was in shock. All Jews who had the nationality of the passport, "Russian" exulted in the capital. Stalin now had the opportunity to see, in fact a lot of Jews in Moscow. It seemed like a vast majority of people in the capital.
Stalin convened an emergency session of the Politburo:
- That's what we have done, trying to seem civilized world and succumbing backstage games! This is thanks to us from the Jews! Jews still can not normally get along with other people. With very few exceptions.
And he looked toward Kaganovich.
- Jews have always and everywhere are dangerous. Every Jew has a Muscovite relations with foreign countries. We are facing the threat of world Zionism!
Lazarus stood looking. Stalin, as always, waiting for an answer. Lazar nodded. Stalin smiled.
Lazarus has directed "cleansing" the 30-ies. Now he would take up their Jews. What else could he do if he just put it in front of the task? It was impossible to hide behind meaningless social-democratic and Trotskyite-fascist labels, under which it was possible to bring anyone, even Jesus Christ. Say, "I cleaned all, and his - I will not?" Of course, Lazarus will sabotage, of course, he enlisted in the Russian Jews themselves, but this can be done only to a certain extent. He can not put himself in danger.
Lazarus had to dissolve the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee and the arrest of its leaders who openly worked for America and international Zionism, and, by the way, was a "Cold War", and America is going to use against the Soviet atomic bomb, which the Soviet Union was not yet. Had to close the Jewish Theater in Moscow, in fact, already is under the Ministry of Culture in Israel. Ministry, the party organizations, research institutes and educational institutions are free from domination of Jewish personnel frank sympathy for America and Israel. Lazarus himself only begged them: "Do not Nagle! Do not climb on the rampage! Well, sit still! ". However, they could not sit still. At critical facilities had even introduce a quota determined by the number of Jewish executives. Many of the most zealous Jewish leaders were behind bars.
However, Lazarus went to wait for the moment of glory.
Stalin organized a special committee to develop a new program of the Communist Party. Lazarus went into it. Instead of a new program of the CPSU, the committee organized under the direction of the Bureau of Lazarus, which consisted of twenty eleven full members and candidates. According to his plan, the new government body with the time needed to replace the Politburo and weaken the leading role of Stalin. Lazarus simultaneously expanded Secretariat of the Central Committee: instead of five people in a ten entered the right people.
But all this did not give the desired results. All under the guise of trying to destabilize the state apparatus reform thwarted by Stalin in the bud. Stalin became stronger and stronger. The situation for Lazarus became very unfavorable.
There is a change in the privacy of the family Kaganovich. Maya grew up, became an architect and lived separately. Mary often visited her. Dacha daughter was not far from their own. At this time, Lazarus became even less contact with his wife and daughter. In 1951, Yuri's brother died. The news came from Anna, who wrote Mary that George died of lung cancer in Nizhny Novgorod. But the news is not touched by Lazarus. He was never close to Yuri, and met and talked with Yuri past six years. He knew that Yuri heavy smoker, and at the autopsy, his lungs were black.
In August 1952, Lazarus again gently reminded that it is not very serious about the Jewish problem. Had to close the Jewish theaters not only in Moscow, as well as to discontinue Jewish newspapers and magazines. Arrest of Jews even touched the top echelon of power. Wife was arrested VM Molotov Pauline Pearl, aka Perry S. Karpovskaya. Pearl was not just a wife of Molotov, Kaganovich type wife - she was active in politics and was a candidate member of the Central Committee KPSSS the Eighteenth Party Congress. It was not only a Trotskyite, but a Zionist. It was found that at the time Golda Meir was her best friend and her sister Pauline lived most of Palestine, and they corresponded to 1939. Brother of Pauline Pearl lived in America. Looming shadow over other major party and state officials. So, except for Molotov's wife was Jewish woman Voroshilov, Beria's mother was Jewish, son Khrushchev Adjoubei, later editor of the "News", was a Jew. Bulganin with the revolution itself was married to a Jew, she was obliged to his career and sympathetic to Israel with all his heart. The arrests were among friends and Lazarus. Arrested Jewish poet Itzik Feffer was a personal friend of Lazarus. Arrested writer David Bergelson was a close friend of Pauline Pearl-Karpovsky-Molotov Pact. Many arrests are no longer controlled by Lazarus. All went through Beria. In the face of Beria Lazarus faced with a worthy contender. All those arrested did not even try to deny that they are more or less work in America and carry out sabotage in the USSR. Trotsky was dead, Stalin made sure of that - but the cause of his lived. Neotrotskisty internationalist went to the counter. And it was a "cold war" and the Americans just looking for an excuse to make a nuclear bomb USSR. Unleashed by the U.S. aggression against neighboring Korea and the USSR was a tricky maneuver to engage in the conflict of the USSR. Subsequently, such a maneuver would be provocative Vietnam War.
Lydia Feodosevna Timashuk (Timoshuk) (1898-1983)
Lydia was just Timashuk rentgentehnikom in the Kremlin hospital. He openly wrote a letter to Stalin, in which, not being afraid of possible consequences of writing this letter, signed by his full name, said she repeatedly was able to observe that the treatment, to appoint senior doctors did not meet basic scheme known even any medical student.
Stalin knew that Sverdlov, Lenin, Dzerzhinsky, Menzhinsky, father and son bitter - Peshkov, Kuibyshev, Ordzhonikidze had been poisoned, and the Frunze simply deprived of oxygen for operation. Doctor Lenin, Levin, was a famous poisoner NKVD personally subordinate Trotsky, then Yagoda. When in 1943, a professional assassin NKVD General Walter Krivitsky was the defector and stayed in Washington, he said that the art of poisoning Yagodovskaya NKVD reached perfection. For example, in order to poison the head of the NKVD Menzhinsky mesh, by order of the Trotskyists all the walls, where he lived and worked, were colored liquid mercury and is poured under the floor, so he was constantly sick, and eventually die prematurely. You do not have to think that this practice is concerned only the upper echelons of power. Naive as to believe that after the practice was over, or that the U.S. is not practiced. On the contrary, in the arsenal of modern poisoners appeared more follow-up activity and scientific methods, such as radioactivity. President Eisenhower's opponent in the presidential election in 1952, U.S. Senator Taft, died of cancer skoropostizhenno hips - quite an unusual form of cancer. Employees Taft remembered that a few months before, next to a table senator appeared a box, the box was in fact from the affected hip and immediately disappeared after the death of Taft. In 1966, the operations in the Kremlin hospital, as well as in his time, Frunze, was deprived of oxygen brilliant chief designer of space and ballistic missile Sergei Korolev. Queen said he, allegedly, colon cancer and encouraged to surgery. The King did not come down from the operating table. Interestingly, the Queen offered bloodiest operation from all possible, which in principle is not recommended, and when I do, they do in parts. Rectal cancer, there are many other options. For example, he is being treated by irradiation dose. Surgery for rectal cancer usually prefer just a touch: simply deducing guts on the front surface of the abdominal wall. Queen then started pulling all the rectum together with the bottom of the pelvic cavity and the removal of all the lymph nodes, which is an extremely bloody, hard and long hours of operation. These operations if they do, there shall be only on controlled breathing apparatus ventilation. The man himself is not able to move this operation. But the Kremlin's professors did not help the Queen of artificial ventilation, citing technical difficulties. The operation has been done without mechanical ventilation, and the king died on the operating table from a lack of oxygen. In 1978 he was murdered in London Bulgarian writer Georgi Markov. Pricked his umbrella in the crowd by entering the capsule deadly poison ricin. Also in 1978 he was poisoned by the Pope John Paul I, the predecessor of today, Polish, Pope John Paul II. Young Pope John Paul I hung around for a very short time dad.
According to Lydia Timashuk Security Minister Abakumov ordered Rumin, head of the investigation department, lose letter Timashuk. Abakumov even arrested Rumin, to cover the tracks of the letter. It came to Stalin and ordered Rumina release. Moreover, Stalin dismissed Abakumov himself and appointed a new Minister Ignatiev. At that time, the Trotskyist opposition has managed to break one of the NKVD into two separate ministries: state security and internal affairs. Stalin ordered Ignatiev take the investigation "cases Kremlin doctors" under his personal control.
In his letter to Lydia Timashuk went further, it specifically called subversive agents of the Kremlin - Jewish. Fact was a fact. All the doctors who were seen in the conduct of not conventional treatment, were indeed an ethnic Jews. This fact could not be ignored. As recent examples cited the sudden death of the young secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Zhdanov and Shcherbakov, who was not yet fifty years old. The case was made public. TASS has named only nine best-known criminals. The full statement TASS
"Some time ago, the security authorities had uncovered a terrorist group of doctors, aims, through sabotage of treatment, to reduce the active life figures of the Soviet Union.
Among the members of this terrorist group were: Professor Vovsi MS, physician, professor VN Vinogradov, physician, professor KogKogan MB, physician, Professor Cohen BB, doctor therapist, Professor Egorov PI, physician, Professor Feldman AI, otolaryngologist, Professor Ettinger JG, physician, Professor Greenstein AM, neurologist, GI Mayorov ., a doctor.
Documentary data, research findings of medical experts and by the confessions of those arrested revealed that the criminals being hidden enemies of the people, by the sabotage treatment of patients and affect their health.
The investigation established that members of the terrorist group, using his position as doctors and abusing the trust of patients, intentionally, brutally debilitating past, deliberately ignored the data of objective examination of the patients, made incorrect diagnoses that do not correspond to the actual nature of their disease, and then the wrong treatment ruined them.
The criminals confessed that, taking advantage of Comrade Zhdanov disease, incorrectly diagnosed the illness, hiding who had had a myocardial infarction, appointed contraindicated this serious condition and the mode samymumertvili fellow AA Zhdanov. The investigation established that the criminals also shortened the life of Comrade AS Shcherbakov, improperly used in curing potent drugs, found detrimental to his regime and drove him to death in this way.
Doctors criminals tried in the first place to undermine the health of the Soviet leadership of military personnel, disable them and weaken the country's defenses. They tried to bring down Marshal Vasilevsky Marshal Govorov Marshal Konev, Army General Shtemenko, Admiral Levchenko, etc. However, the arrest upset their evil plans, and criminals could not get his way.
Found that all these doctors-killers, which have become the monsters of the human race, to trample the holy banner of science and defiled the honor of scientists, were to have hired agents of foreign intelligence. Most members of the terrorist group have been associated with the international Jewish Zionist organization "Joint", created by U.S. intelligence, ostensibly to help the Jews in other countries. In fact, this organization has been under the direction of American intelligence extensive espionage terrorist and other subversive activities in a number of countries, including, in the Soviet Union. Arrested even stated the investigators that he had received a directive to exterminate the managerial personnel of the USSR from the U.S. organization "Joint" a doctor in Moscow and known Zionist Shimeliovich Mikhoels. Other members of the terrorist group were long-standing British intelligence agents. The investigation will be completed in the near future. "
The investigation was not complete, or in the near term and in the future due to poisoning of Stalin. Everything said in the communiquй was pure truth. Stalin had slandered his enemies-Trotskyists. Moreover, the fact that the security agencies been opened in the late 30's under Yezhov was just tip of the iceberg. Activity Trotskyite-cosmo-political elements in the USSR was so disgusting that the Trotskyists and their successors - neotrotskisty announced Stalin obsessed maniac and blamed it all victims krovavkrovavyh their crimes against the Russian people.
Israel responded instantly, as always declaring all anti-Semitism. In the history of the world has come a radical change, which is brought to the broad masses was not. Now the world's main stronghold of the "world revolution" was not the Soviet Union or even the United States - it was an outpost of the new State of Israel. Now, what is called the world's "progressive public opinion" is not the position of the Soviet Union and the U.S. - it will be the position of Israel.
Israel has made it clear the USSR, he would not tolerate any pretensions towards Jews, regardless of the truth, the charges against them or not. In the Soviet Embassy in Israel raided a bomb.
Stalin, too, was bullied and broke off diplomatic relations with Israel. He was clear: only yesterday hatched the light - today they dictate over the world. But he knew that his large cheated when quietly spent recognition of Israel as a small event that does not have any value at all. "In Moscow, hundreds of embassies of these banana republics - who cares if there will be one?" - Said his entourage. But Israel is not ready function of a banana republic.
One day at two o'clock Bulganin, Molotov, Voroshilov, and Lazarus went to Stalin's dacha. They discussed the issue of who will have to submit to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: the newly created Bureau and the Central Committee. Stalin asked them to meet the next morning at nine o'clock, to settle this question. And they took the opportunity: ddlya "further" discussion, they all went to the country to Zhukovka Voroshilov. The place was very successful. His wife and children in the country Voroshilov while absent, he dismissed the servants and security too. Therefore they can not be afraid that they overheard. First spoke host - hidden Jew Voroshilov:
- You see, Koba is now doing the same as Hitler. He - an outspoken anti-Semite! He needed a scapegoat. Voroshilov was the only one still called Stalin nickname forty years ago. He was supported by Bulganin. His wife was a doctor, and Bulganin loved every opportunity to demonstrate their "medical" knowledge.
- I think that Koba suffers from delusions of persecution. In conversation, he gave me to understand that you three weaves a conspiracy against him.
Lazar guard:
- Me, too? He and I think? - Bulganin nodded
- "He knows that you think that it makes a terrible impression of doctors abroad."
- So what? The same abroad? And what are we?
Hammer down the room. He was very tired and did not stop worrying about his wife.
- He knows Lazarus. He knows everything.
Molotov went to the window and pulled the curtain slightly. It was beginning to get light. Bulganin spoke again:
- Stalin prepares almost complete destruction of the Central Committee. I know this, so we have to stop him.
He looked at Lazarus.
- You should know about it. Did Rosa you did not say?
Lazarus glared:
- Rose does not tell me anything. She almost did not see it. He no longer shows interest in it. I'm even afraid for her. Nicholas, the days entertainment at the cottage near over. She's just a doctor and only assigns a drug.
Lazarus suddenly stopped. All turned their views on it. He, in turn, looked at them. Everyone knew what everyone thought. No one said a word. They have to trust each other. It was the only way out. Finally, Molotov took courage and asked:
- What kind of drugs are you talking about?
Then came the decisive moment. Lazarus realized that slip and gave part of his plan. But he was also aware that the circumstances have changed. He looked around, Molotov, Bulganin, Voroshilov - all old friends and comrades, trust them, they love their country and, above all, his position in it.
Voroshilov was removed from all military affairs right in the middle of the war. It's no secret that Stalin kept it simple as the old political ally, not as an expert, just like the one forty years calling Stalin "Koba." It was a strange relationship, as if Stalin was somehow obliged to Voroshilov. Stalin could not afford to be magnanimous. He could afford to be generous to a person who has ceased to be useful, but to tell you the truth, and never have been.
Lazarus turned his eyes to Bulganin. Nicholas was another old friend. He was from the beginning. Lazar said that his twinkling eyes and a goatee gives it a solid look, as if he was the real ruler of the state.
Molotov also seen different times. He lost his wife, and he was under ugrozugrozoy.
And he himself, Lazarus - a devoted servant leader, accompanies him everywhere. But now there was a question of self-preservation and survival has always been the main motive for Lazarus. It should move forward.
Individually, they can not carry out his plan, but said they would do it.
Lazarus sighed and looked at the ceiling.
Yes, they need to know and make one. He has spoken many times about this with Rosa, but it is important that she stayed in the background, and in any case does not present during the conversation. It must be protected at all costs.
Voroshilov raised his hand. Usually he did before to say something, no matter how many people were in the room, one or a dozen.
- It is clear that we have to do. A small dose of poison poured in his wine, but it has not recently taken for analysis, and he falls into a coma. And with his weak heart, death is inevitable. Only it has to be not toxic per se, but the drug that speeds death.
He spoke like a true connoisseur. Everyone looked at Lazarus. After all, he invited all to come to this meeting.
- That's right, but not quite. Let's see what we know.
From inside his Lazarus took a folded piece of paper and unfolded it. He has not read it, but just keep on the safe side.
- This conclusion Yegorov, head of the Kremlin Hospital. Stalin had suffered a small stroke. But without effect. A stroke is caused by blockage of cerebral blood clot. Stalin did not take drugs from the heart. There are two reasons. First, if the heart muscle is weakened, he would have prescribed digitalis, and, according to Egorova, there are no laboratory methods for determining the levels of digitalis in the blood. Hence the second reason: Stalin, as you know does not take drugs, especially those that can not be determined in the blood. To his happiness, and to our dismay, he does not need drugs digitalis.
He consulted with the paper. In the fields there was something written in pencil. It was obvious that Rose wrote him this explanation for he could not explain it. Thus, the doctors do not consider it necessary to resort to digitalis. They think that in this case it is necessary to use the medicine that can thin the blood, and therefore, to prevent clot formation. This drug is a white crystalline powder, is used only in minute doses, because it's all izvestnyizvestny rat poison - "dicumarol."
Molotov started up:
- I know this stuff. Exactly - rat poison.
- Right, - smiled Lazarus. - But in microscopic doses - is the so-called anticoagulant agent, a blood thinner. It is, in theory, should prevent embolism. Stalin takes two and a half milligrams dikumarola morning and evening.
- And any analysis conducted? - Asked Bulganin.
Lazarus again checked the paper:
- Yes. Immediately after the stroke he took a blood test to determine the clotting time. At first this was done every day, then - twice a week to establish the appropriate dose dikumarola. It's simple. And now, when the dose is set, this analysis is conducted only once a month.
- What's next? - Lost patience Bulganin.
- What's next? I'm not a doctor, I just said that the dose does not always check.
- In what form to take this drug? - Put your question Molotov.
- Ordinary white pills. Unremarkable. He keeps them under lock and key, as if afraid of poisoning.
- And that's what you're suggesting? - Asked Voroshilov.
- No. We will replace the other tablets that looks similar. Instead of five milligrams per day, it would take twenty. Stalin would not distinguish them. If the dosage is increased, then the rat poison has the ability to quickly build up in the blood.
- And the result? - Asked Molotov.
- Increase the dose - not to kill him. His blood clot becomes ill, and thus increase the chance of bleeding in the brain. Here you have another stroke - bleeding in the brain, that is not ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, which is even worse.
- What are the odds? - Asked Bulganin.
- Given his recent stroke, is rather large.
Voroshilov again raised his hand:
- Is it possible to trace the origin of the pills?
- Who will lead the investigation? - To pharmacist.
- Who will enter medicine? - A voice of Molotov.
- Stalin himself. You know a suitable candidate?
Hammer down the room, his hands behind his back, deep in thought. All eyes are on him.
- Rose and a prescription?
Was quiet. Lazarus took a deep breath.
- She do not necessarily. We here have the right amount of what you want papers.
- And this is going to work? - Anxiously said Bulganin.
- Should work. We simply have no other choice.
- And where all drugs?
- In his office. In a locked cabinet. All these medicines are prescribed Rose, although Stalin preferred to be treated antiquated methods.
Lazarus turned in the Molotov
- I wish it was not within the country, when it happens. I think you'll be able to organize her some travelers.
Molotov looked at Kaganovich.
- Canada fit?
Lazar nodded.
- And the other? - A voice Voroshilov.
Bulganin smiled:
- What about the other? Only George (Malenkov) and Anastasia (Mikoyan) have a head on their shoulders, and they have the intelligence to remain in the shadows. They will not support us, but will not interfere. Their silence us enough.
- Then ... - Lazarus said, recognizing the responsibility of the moment. - Then ...
Again he looked around at all those standing nearby. They looked at him in suspense. Then all looked at each other in silence. Decision was made.
Stalin heard about the night meeting, but he did not ask, because the report, which he claimed was nine in the morning on his desk, although he appeared in his office in the Kremlin, but by two o'clock. Stalin was not even questioned why only four members gathered Bureau.
February 17, 1953, Stalin was the last time someone took. It was the Indian ambassador K.P.S. Menon, who, as the ordinary Eastern diplomat, came to congratulate Stalin bygone birthday and discuss the development of relations with the two countries. India only received formal independence from the British Empire who died unnoticed. Imperialists drove India to control the American Organization of Southeast Asia. The dying British Empire finally defeated India to complete a number of different countries with different religions according to the principle: "Now would not we - beat to pieces!". One huge British India was partitioned into India proper, two of Pakistan, Nepal, Burma, and so on. Moreover, once to cause chaos and, accordingly, then again "come to help", the British slaughtered Muslim Kashmir is not as much the two Muslim Pakistan and Hindu India is. This British mined the region the possibility of a wider war that is constantly smoldering since that time.
Stalin as always toyed with a pencil and a notebook and make small drawings of what was in his mind. On this day, he painted wolves in various poses.
- Do you like wolves? - Asked Ambassador Menon. He could not help noticing that Stalin was thinking about something else. Stalin consolidated figures.
- Stalin simple but smart man. - Stalin said - when he is attacked by wolves, he is not trying to teach them morals, and just kill them. Wolves know this and act accordingly.
- How do you know about it? - Asked Menon.
Stalin laughed:
- That's become a sheep - they are right there next to you soon!
- You ... Prime ... - sheep?
Stalin continued to laugh.
- Do not be fooled, Mr. Ambassador! When you leave, take a close look around you! Do you understand what I'm saying? If wolves show their teeth, they, unlike me, do not laugh!
Lazarus for the past few weeks has seen Stalin. He only hoped that Rose and she will be able to do everything right. Lazarus recalled his religion and the Jewish holiday of Purim, which they celebrated in the distant now Boar. Each spring in March Jews celebrate Purim. This festival is dedicated to the significant event in the history of the Jewish people. Three thousand years ago, a Jewish beauty beloved wife Esther and the Persian emperor Xerxes destroyed the Persian Prime Minister Haman, who allegedly planned to destroy the Jewish people. Instead, Esther sent to the execution of the Aman, and with it many of the Persians. Haman's ears cut off before death. Purim is a cheerful holiday. Burned and beat with a stick stuffed Haman; baked cookies in the form of ugly little people - is Haman, children tear his arms and legs, and eat them. Supposed to get drunk, it was impossible to distinguish the bad from the good villain. At the mention of the word "Aman", should all make noise and stomp. The most delicate of Purim - a dish called "Haman's ears" - a sweet poppy cakes.
- Esther - thought Lazarus - Rose, Esther, Rose .... - Lazarus feel your pulse beating in sync with the pulse of history. It was one thing for which he suffered, masked and worked all his life. It was his finest hour.
February 17, 1953, Stalin was the last time someone took. It was the Indian ambassador K.P.S. Menon, who, as the ordinary Eastern diplomat, came to congratulate Stalin bygone birthday and discuss the development of relations with the two countries. India only received formal independence from the British Empire who died unnoticed. Imperialists drove India to control the American Organization of Southeast Asia. The dying British Empire finally defeated India to complete a number of different countries with different religions according to the principle: "Now would not we - beat to pieces!". One huge British India was partitioned into India proper, two of Pakistan, Nepal, Burma, and so on. Moreover, once to cause chaos and, accordingly, then again "come to help", the British slaughtered Muslim Kashmir is not as much the two Muslim Pakistan and Hindu India is. This British mined the region the possibility of a wider war that is constantly smoldering since that time.
Late on Sunday March 1, 1953 the new Bureau members gathered in Stalin's office in the Kremlin. Nothing unusual in that meeting was not: Party members and government often discussed with Stalin important affairs of state at such a late hour. Lazarus immediately got down to business. He proposed to appoint a commission to deal with the "business of doctors." He said: "There is no evidence of their guilt, and their two months kept in prison." Stalin was stunned by this turn. He leaned back in his chair and stared at the Kaganovich, as if he had heard wrong. But Lazarus did not lose time, he immediately requested a vote. One after another, all those gathered at the table raised their hands, but Beria and Khrushchev refused. Lazarus looked sternly at his protege, but the bald little man looked away and stared at Stalin. Stalin's face flushed. Stalin stood up and slammed his fist on the table: "Traitors". Politburo members were frozen in place, but Lazarus was still standing on the place. Lazar said firmly: "If we are not free to get out of your office, you will be introduced to the Kremlin Show us part!" Stalin looked at Beria. He stood in the corner, and shook his head from side to side.
Stalin left the table. It was evident that he was shocked. He pointed at the chest of Lazarus: "Traitor"
Then Stalin tried to reach the button to call security, but Mikoyan and Molotov pushed his hand away. Spotyknuvshis on the edge of the carpet, Stalin fell while he hit his head against the corner of the table ...
He lay motionless, his eyes staring at the ceiling, dripping saliva on his mustache. Everyone in a daze and looked with horror at lying at their feet, Stalin ...
Stalin began to moan ...
Bulganin ran up to Stalin. Molotov ran to the medicine cabinet. Lazarus picked up a heavy, marble promokatelnitsu and smashed her glass cabinet. Spilled glass. Voroshilov stood in the doorway, so that no one went in and came out, but Beria was trying to run out. Lazarus put into the hands of Molotov bottle of clear liquid. Bulganin supported Stalin head. Stalin's eyes were fixed on one point. Molotov raised bottle to his lips Stalin. Bulganin pressed his cheek. Stalin's mouth opened and poured the contents of the vial Molotov mouth Stalin. Stalin automatically swallow the liquid just stay on the bottom. When finished, he closed his eyes. Bulganin continued to hold his head in his hands and shook it a bit. A few minutes later, Stalin began to breathe, purple on his face disappeared. Present in the room at each other. Some had tears in his eyes. No one said a word. It was almost over.
Since Stalin was still breathing, he was transferred to the country in Kuntsevo. No one specifically wanted to hide what happened in the Kremlin. It happened by itself. The first government post and was told that it happened in Moscow. Just the majority of people joined in the situation in Kuntsevo, and direct participants, as it very much looks like murder, thought it best not to mention the Kremlin incident - in Kuntsevo, let there be Kuntsevo. The less we know about it, the better.
CHAPTER 6.
March 5, 1953.
We drove five huge black limousines. Arbat bounced. "The owner went" - watched the passers limousines.
In one of them sat Lazar Kaganovich and fingered a rosary in his hand. He seemed to have heard what was said passersby.
"Yes - it's so - the owner" - agreed to Lazarus, he becomes the master. Comes the decisive day. He gently pulled the curtain and looked out the window. The city streets were replaced near Moscow village street. More snow was everywhere. Tale. Virginal purity. Dacha near Moscow had its own charm: with their white walls, ovens and triangular roofs. Forty years ago, the first time he came to Moscow. Forty years, and it seems that it was just yesterday. In November, he was sixty. Also quickly passed and the four days since the meeting of the Politburo, which clashed with Stalin. Lazarus is well remembered in the face of Stalin when he demanded to cancel the order to close the case of doctors, Stalin did not expect such a turn of affairs.
- Does he think that I care about the Jews? I've gone over that? I became their protector? - Lazarus frowned.
- Stalin thought that the blood still more personal devotion. - Muttered Lazarus.
As once said Uncle Levick: "The blood is your blood, your blood, your blood!". Lazarus shook his head. It was a matter of his personal survival, not Jews in general. But he is a Jew. Save himself, if he did not save Jews, and therefore of the Jews as a whole? Lazarus at the ceiling car. Can a Jew to come to power in this country? If it is rejected Stalin, the Russian did not do the same? Can they even take the Jew? The question was painful. His face twisted in a grimace. "So that's what I was thinking Uncle Levick? That's what he really thought! "- Said Lazar, holding her breath," What matters is that the Jews were right. "
In memory of Lazarus continuously scrolls the sort of film of the event, especially Stalin, trying to call for help. He saw Mikoyan, Stalin repulsive hand of call. Why, of all this was the Mikoyan? Lazarus was surprised:
- Anastasia was always the "meek - a lamb." He always tried to stay on the sidelines. And here ... Who expected him such speed?
In the past three days, Stalin was on the verge of death, regaining consciousness, then again losing it. However, in reality, no one has provided him with medical care. Its just isolated. From that moment on, a few days, no one even gave Stalin a glass of water. Everyone thought only of himself. The unknown bubble that Lazarus has poured into his mouth, was the last of the moisture that has drunk Stalin. Thoughts swirled in my head of Lazarus:
"In the end, a person can live without water for three days only. Just him and that was enough, plus our "help." The country's leading doctors shaking like a leaf, and preferred hedging their own asses. They just spent a collective councils as to escape from personal responsibility. Create the appearance of care - "Communiquй on the state of health." None of them as it should not even examined the patient. And Stalin was right after all when he wanted to put them. Rare nit. They are even worse than we, his "encirclement." Of course, we are candidates selected doctors. Among them there was no one who did not understand what was required of them. "
Stalin meanwhile getting better. One of the doctors said that it was "a classic case of improvement before his death." Without basic water, Stalin, I suppose, really, could not be better.
"Experts ... So I have addressed myself to the doctor, or someone to trust?" - I thought Lazarus: "I'll have to prepare an official report about the death of Stalin."
The people of the vast country kept in the dark. The situation was repeated in January 1924, when Lenin died.
"The main thing is that everything is as it should be. Politburo must have calm conditions to choose a successor. The only way to avoid unrest, turmoil and loss of power. Continuity ensured survival of the party and preserve their positions of leading members. This eliminates interference of any foreign power. " - Lazarus looked at his watch. Soon he will be there. It is strange that the members of the Politburo did not call from Stalin and not doctors, and guards. Where Poskrebyshev or bodyguard? There's something wrong.
Huge limo headlights illuminating the road growing pine and birch, rode up to the gate problem. Lazar looked out the window. It was surrounded by the troops of the Interior Ministry.
"It means that Beria had already arrived. It will be surprising if the Kremlin is not cordoned off "- I thought Lazarus. "But nothing, wait, - whispered Lazarus. - We have laid up a plan for you. "
It turned out that Kaganovich arrived one of the last. All were assembled, and all the lights. The first person he saw Lazarus was Malenkov. He looked depressed, but still. He talked about something with Beria. Beria had listened to him, but his eyes were running around the room. It was obvious that he did his best to control your emotions. Bulganin said Lazarus, and went to him:
- Just brought a locksmith to deal with the lock - George (Malenkov) ordered.
Lawrence wanted to break down the door. George keeps trying to calm him down. After all, he
already ordered tanks to surround the Kremlin.
Lazarus could not help smiling, for he had just predicted this turn of events. Did Beria really hopes that he could be the successor to Stalin? Idiot!
- Where is the Commandant? He informed about it? - Asked Lazarus.
- Commandant? What is the Commandant? He seemed to evaporate. And Poskrebyshev nowhere.
Approached Molotov. He heard the words of Bulganin and squeezed the hand of Lazarus.
- All gone missing. Servants, security.
Molotov looked at Lazarus. Lazarus wanted to ask him only one question:
- Canada?
Molotov nodded, relieved and Lazarus.
From the hallway leading to the bedroom Stalin, Voroshilov out.
- Mechanic fumbling with the lock. And the doctors there.
He looked at Bulganin:
- Safe?
Bulganin turned to a single guard standing at the door:
- Nobody will admit, under any pretext. Do you understand?
Guard stretched as if on command "Attention."
- And close the door, - added Bulganin.
Bulganin then turned to the officer, who called all the members of the Politburo:
- All orders after Malenkov or me personally. And you did not see or hear.
Is that clear?
- Yes!
Have already begun discussions about what would happen if Stalin did not survive. TASS few minutes ago made an official statement about what happened with Stalin, as if it just happened, but in fact it's been a few days. The statement said that the "best experts" carry out the necessary treatment, and stressed the unbreakable unity of the Party and government and their desire to follow the traditional course of the country. It was the best commentary to what has just warned the Kremlin doctors deal. TASS statement stressed that Stalin was only a "temporary" does not perform its function.
The previous four days were leapfrogging closed meetings of the Politburo about the successor to Stalin. As a result of discussions, all agreed on the candidacy of George Malenkov. On top of that Malenkov was in good terms with Beria, who could provide him with the support of the state security agencies in case of complications. Lazarus knew that the time a final decision has not yet arrived, at least, he hoped so. Lazarus overestimated their own situation and did not realize that none of them has all the power. Lazarus has done little to exploit the situation. Malenkov seemed accidental and weak constraint.
In December 1948, on Stalin's seventieth birthday, "Pravda" published a series of articles in honor of the members of the Political Bureau of Stalin. Malenkov was the leading article. It was clear who is so ordered. Stalin feared Malenkov. He had not seen a wolf.
- Do not be afraid, - Molotov said, referring to Bulganin, Voroshilov and Kaganovich.
He continued:
- It is important to maintain the integrity of the country. Lawrence should be kept under constant review.
Very soon, we will get rid of him. George will not last long, maybe a year, no more. I know what I'm saying. There will come a time when we can do a lot.
- Nikita? - Put Bulganin.
- It can be managed - Lazarus said. - I know him well enough.
Khrushchev had just walked in the door. He went to Malenkov and said a few words, and then stood in the hallway, watching the locksmith picked the door of Stalin. He did not even look in the direction of Lazarus. Soon there was the sound of the open door. All but the locksmith, rushed into the bedroom. One of the guards pushed the locksmith in the opposite direction.
Stalin was on the floor. His chest then fell, then rose, as in heavy sleep. He was wearing his clothes: brown shirt and brown pants, his boots were standing near the bed. This was typical of Stalin often slept in clothes.
Three doctors and Voroshilov carried him to a narrow wooden bed. His eyelids fluttered. Sometimes he lifts the eyes, but not for long. At such moments, each tried to approach him, to catch any words. Its yellow-brown eyes are expressionless. His cheeks were drawn, his hair was quite white, and his lips were covered with dry - dry crust. Lazar said that his pants were wet, he wet himself.
All stood in silence around the bed. Beria just impatient. Once Stalin eyes were open longer than usual.
- He regains consciousness, - said one of the doctors.
- I look for ... - just croaked Stalin.
Another doctor raised his head and Stalin just moistened dry lips with a damp towel.
"Bigot." - I thought Lazarus.
Stalin's dull eyes slid over everyone in the room. Brought tea, and water was Dr. Stalin with a small silver spoon. For the first time in four days. Stalin began to swallow greedily. Stalin really paralysis. Now, the right side of his body remained inactive.
"All the same work." - I thought Lazarus.
Stalin slightly raised one hand and pointed to a picture on the wall, where the girl was feeding milk lamb. His lips tried to smile. He threw his head helplessly on the pillow. So he spent another hour, then opened, then closed her eyes. Doctors would not leave him, but did nothing, only occasionally talking to each other. Stalin's face took an earthy hue. He started to choke. Her features are sharp. One doctor put it to his face oxygen bag, Stalin left hand pushed her away. He raised his hand as if to show up at the ceiling, and the impotence dropped it back. Finally, his movements ceased.
Beria quickly turned on his heel and left the room. Lazarus could hear his loud voice demanded the car, "crystal! - The car! "
Voroshilov, Bulganin and cried. Malenkov was on his knees beside the bed and looked at him. Khrushchev held aloof, watching as doctors tried to make sure he was really dead. Molotov went through the paper in its portfolio. Lazarus looked at it as a play, from the side. He was not sad enough to cry, but it was sad enough to want it.
Malenkov stood up and called one of their doctors. He whispered something in his ear. The doctor nodded and headed for two of their colleagues. They listened to him, and then left the room after the Molotov. Georgy Malenkov wanted once it was written, an official communiquй. Molotov returned with a finished document. There has been streamlined story, full of medical terms. It was all a lie. Developments in the Kremlin completely dropped out of all mentions. The death was officially pronounced on March 5 in 21 hours 50 minutes. The official autopsy concluded handed opening on March 6 at 16:30. - I was always a Russian tsar. - Said Lazarus - They want a strong leader. Without it, they can not. They lost, if they receive a lot of freedom. They must have a bridle and shafts. If they are given too much freedom, they are paying for. Even Lenin stressed this point. "
