How parasites sold the USSR

The events in Kiev again resembled the events in Moscow in August 1991. The indecision and uncertainty of the position of the gekachepists, headed by the Chairman of the KGB of the USSR Vladimir Kryuchkov, caused the defeat of the Emergency Committee. By the way, the hekachepists could count on the support of the majority of the population of the USSR. I would like to remind you that in March 1991 70% the population of the "Union of the Indestructible" spoke in favor of the preservation of a single state.

Arrest Yeltsin. "Wait for the team!"

As you know, special group "A" of the KGB of the USSR, headed by the Hero of the Soviet Union V. F. Karpukhin, from the night of August 18 to August 19, 1991, she was in the Arkhangelsk region. But the order to isolate Yeltsin, despite repeated telephone inquiries from the commander of Group A, was never followed. In this regard, I will quote a direct participant in those events - the President of the International Association of Veterans of the Anti-Terror Unit "Alpha", a deputy of the Moscow City Duma Sergei Goncharov:

“Karpukhin informed the headquarters that we were on the spot and were ready to carry out the order. A command followed, and I heard it clearly: "Wait for instructions!" It was beginning to get light. I say to Karpukhin: “Fedoritch! You report to headquarters - dawn is coming soon. " Again the command: “Wait! Contact us later. " Our commander took responsibility: "Why wait for something!" And we relocated to a village near Arkhangelskoye. The mushroom pickers went … People, seeing the fighters in an unusual form - in the "spheres" and with weapons in their hands, were frightened and began to shy away from us, return home.

As I understand it, the information reached Korzhakov. I say: “Fedoritch, call again! Everyone understands that we have already been deciphered! " Karpukhin goes to the leadership. A new order is formulated for him: "Move forward to the position of option No. 2" - this is by capturing at the moment of advancement. We take pictures of the guys, get back into the cars and move forward two kilometers, we begin to disguise ourselves. But how can so many armed people do this? The villagers looked at us with obvious apprehension, did not even go out to fetch water …

OK. We worked out the operation, how to block the advance, and Karpukhin reported on readiness. It was 6 o'clock - it was light, everything was visible, a stream of cars was going to Moscow. From the headquarters again: "Wait for instructions, there will be an order!"

By 7 o'clock, service vehicles with guards began to arrive at Arkhangelskoye. We see some great ranks. Okay, sent our intelligence. It turns out that these are Khasbulatov, Poltoranin and someone else. We report. To us again: "Wait for instructions!" Everything! We do not understand what they want from us and how to carry out the operation!

Somewhere around 8 am the scouts report: “The column - two armored ZILs, two Volgas with the guards of Yeltsin and the persons who arrived there are moving out onto the highway. Get ready for the operation! " Karpukhin calls the headquarters once again and hears: "Wait for the command!" - "What to expect, the column will pass in five minutes!" - "Wait for the team!" When we have already seen them, Fyodoritch again pulls off the receiver. To him again: "Wait for the command!"

The command never came … Why? The GKChP activists, including Kryuchkov, did not give a clear answer to this question. Obviously, none of its organizers dared to take responsibility. There was no man of the caliber of Valentin Ivanovich Varennikov, but he was in Kiev and could not influence the development of events.

Or maybe there was some kind of difficult double or triple game … I don't know, it's hard for me to judge … The last head of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Anatoly Lukyanov, said in an interview with the Russian press that GKChP was created at a meeting with Gorbachev March 28, 1991. And Gennady Yanaev said that the GKChP documents were developed on behalf of the same Gorbachev.

After Yeltsin's motorcade passed us at high speed, Karpukhin picks up the phone: "What to do now?" - "Wait, we'll call you back!" Literally five minutes later: “Take Arkhangelskoye under the protection of some of your officers. - "Why?!" - “Do what you were told! The rest - to the subdivision!"

The time when the GKChP could win was wasted. Yeltsin was given precious time to mobilize his supporters and take action. At 10 or 11 o'clock we returned to N-sky lane, to the place of permanent deployment. And on the Central Television, instead of the programs announced in the broadcast schedule, they showed "Swan Lake". The tragedy of the state turned into a farce."

… Then the whole situation fell apart like a house of cards. Yeltsin, having climbed onto a tank near the White House, declared the actions of the State Emergency Committee unconstitutional. In the evening, a news release went on television, in which information was announced that put the final point on the State Emergency Committee. The disastrous press conference held by the Gekachepists also played a role. In a word, it turned out not to be a GKChP, but almost a madhouse. In fact, there was a repetition of the January situation in Vilnius in 1991. Meanwhile, it is known that the KGB has always carefully prepared its operations. Let us recall at least the first phase of the entry of Soviet troops into Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan, for which the Chekists were responsible. Everything was calculated to minutes.

However, much becomes obvious when it turns out that the two "irreconcilable enemies" Gorbachev and Yeltsin, in fact worked in one bundle … This "Komsomolskaya Pravda" (August 18, 2011) said the former Minister of Press and Information of Russia Mikhail Poltoranin. Apparently, the head of the KGB knew or guessed about this link, which determined the strange ambiguity of his behavior. Moreover V. Kryuchkov, judging by his conversation with the head of the PGU (intelligence) of the KGB, Leonid Vladimirovich Shebarshin, back in June 1990 he decided to bet on Yeltsin … At the same time, Vladimir Alexandrovich could not get rid of the feeling of personal duty to Gorbachev. As a result, his behavior was a vivid example of adherence to the principle of "ours and yours." But in politics, this duality of position is usually punished. Which is exactly what happened.

Prince Shcherbatov's testimony

Boris Yeltsin, who played a subordinate role in the "bundle", realized that the "putsch" gave him a rare opportunity to end Gorbachev. Unfortunately, Boris Nikolaevich, trying to throw Mikhail Sergeyevich out of big politics, at the same time, without regret, said goodbye to the Union. And again, we should recall the treacherous behavior of Gorbachev in a situation when Yeltsin, Kravchuk and Shushkevich, having gathered in Viskuli, announced the termination of the activities of the USSR as an international entity. This is now being said about the legality of the statement adopted by the troika. And then the conspirators knew perfectly well that commit a crime and they met exactly in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, in order, in extreme cases, to go on foot to Poland.

It is known that after Viskuli Yeltsin was afraid to appear in the Kremlin to Gorbachev. He was sure that he would give the order to arrest him, but … Mikhail Sergeevich preferred to let the situation go by itself. He was satisfied with the situation of the collapse of the USSR, since in this case the likelihood of bringing him to justice for the crimes committed disappeared.

Earlier, I wrote that during this period Gorbachev was not thinking about how to preserve the Union, but about how to provide himself with a deficit for the future: food, drinks and housing. It is no coincidence that the long-term head of Mikhail Sergeevich's security, KGB General Vladimir Timofeevich Medvedev, aptly emphasized that Gorbachev's main ideology was self-survival ideology.

Unfortunately, then many of the Soviet political and military elite tried to secure a material reserve for the future. In this regard, it should be told about how in 1991 the Americans bought up the Soviet elite in the bud, helping Yeltsin to come to power. I will cite the testimony of Prince Alexei Pavlovich Shcherbatov (1910-2003) from the Rurik family, president of the Union of Russian Nobles of North and South America.

On the day of the "putsch" Shcherbatov flew to Moscow from the United States to participate in the congress of compatriots. The prince outlined his impressions of this trip in his memoirs called “Quite recent history. First trip to Russia " … By the will of fate, Shcherbatov found himself in the thick of the events of August 1991. He, as an influential American citizen, had direct access to the US Ambassador to the USSR, Robert Strauss, who was a very informed person. The prince, who remained a Russian patriot at heart, was acutely worried about the events of August 1991. Therefore, he was interested in everything connected with them.

In an article published by the popular Orthodox newspaper "Vera" - "Eskom" (No. 520), Prince Shcherbatov said: "… I tried to find out more details of the preparations for the coup. And in a few days he clarified something for himself: the Americans, the CIA spent money through their ambassador to Russia, Robert Strauss, using his connections to bribe the military: the Taman and Dzerzhinsk airborne divisions, which were supposed to go over to Yeltsin's side. Big money was received by the son of Marshal Shaposhnikov, Minister of War Grachev … Have Shaposhnikova now an estate in the south of France, a house in Switzerland.

It remains to add that the conversation of the journalist with Prince Shcherbatov, who was called the "man-legend of Russian history", took place in New York, in a house in Manhattan, in the summer of 2003.

Shevardnadze's betrayal

Treason has long settled in the Kremlin. On February 14, 2014, the Russia 1 TV channel showed a film by journalist Andrei Kondrashov, "Afghan". In it, one of the relatives of the well-known leader of the Mujahideen, Ahmad Shah Massoud, said that most of the military operations of the Soviet troops against the Mujahideen ended in nothing, since Massoud received timely information from Moscow about the timing of these operations.

Another fact of the apparent betrayal of the Soviet leaders was voiced in the film. It is known that before the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, an agreement was reached with the same Ahmad Shah Massoud on a mutual ceasefire. However, at the insistence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Eduard Shevardnadze and at the direction of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Gorbachev, Soviet troops on January 23-26, 1989, launched a series of massive missile and air strikes on areas under the control of Akhmad Shah Massoud. This was not only a treacherous decision by the Kremlin, but also a war crime.

In this regard, the Republic of Afghanistan has all the legal grounds for declaring M. Gorbacheva and E. Shevardnadze the military criminals, and may also demand their extradition for criminal proceedings against them.

Shevardnadze proved himself not only in Afghanistan. It is known that in April 1989 Shevardnadze spoke at the Politburo of the Central Committee for the immediate restoration of order in the demonstration in Tbilisi and the prosecution of the leader of the Georgian opposition, Zviad Gamsakhurdia. However, having appeared in Tbilisi on April 9, 1990, after the well-known tragic events, namely Shevardnadze began to voice the version about the inadequacy of the actions of the military during the dispersal of the protesters, emphasizing the use of sapper blades by the paratroopers - which, as the film filmed by the KGB operators testified, only covered their faces from flying stones and bottles.

I remember that in March 1990, at the meetings of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee dedicated to Lithuania's secession from the USSR, it was Shevardnadze who was one of those who demanded the most decisive measures against the Lithuanian separatists and the return of constitutional order in the republic. But in fact, he and A. Yakovlev constantly supplied Landsbergis with information.

June 1, 1990 Shevardnadze committed an act of high treason. He, while on a visit to Washington, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, together with US Secretary of State J. Baker, signed an agreement under which the States "acquired" more than 47 thousand square kilometers waters of the Bering Sea, rich in fish and hydrocarbons.

There is no doubt that Gorbachev was informed about this deal. Otherwise, Shevardnadze in Moscow would not have been well. Otherwise, how to understand that Gorbachev blocked any actions to recognize this "deal" as illegal. The Americans, knowing in advance about such a reaction from the head of the USSR, promptly took control of the area. It must be assumed that the remuneration of Shevardnadze and Gorbachev for this "service" was expressed in extremely substantial amount.

Undoubtedly Kryuchkov knew about this dubious deal, but did not dare to publicly declare the betrayal of Gorbachev and Shevardnadze. Well, these two got the money, but why was he silent? By the way, in modern Russia around this event there is also "Conspiracy of silence".

In recent years, the United States has been using the practice of bribery of the national elites of the "independent" states very intensively and effectively. Iraq, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt … The last example is Ukraine. The Russian political scientist said that the ambiguous position of Yanukovych regarding the rampant Maidan was determined by the desire of the President of Ukraine to preserve the billion "green" ones that he kept in the United States. Futile hopes. In the United States, the money of the Iranian Shah M. Reza Pahlavi, President of the Philippines F. Marcos, Iraqi President S. Hussein, Egyptian President H. Mubarak and other former "Friends" of America.

The circle of the Ukrainian president also managed to make good money. Most of them have already departed with their households from Kiev to their "alternate airfields", similar to those that our "Russian jingoistic patriot" Yuri Luzhkov had previously created for himself in Austria and London. There is no doubt that a significant part of the Russian ruling elite, in the event of an aggravation of the situation in the country, will also follow the example of their Ukrainian “colleagues”. Fortunately, their "alternate airfields" have long been ready.

Gorbachev's Thirty Silversmiths

Mikhail Sergeevich also won a good jackpot for his betrayal. He told about how this was done in 2007 to the Izvestia newspaper Paul Craig Roberts - American economist and publicist, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the government of R. Reagan. He remembered the time when his scientific advisor was appointed assistant secretary of defense for international affairs of the United States (then the minister was Melvin Laird). Taking this opportunity, Roberts asked him the question, how does the United States make other countries dance to its tune? The answer was simple: “We give money to their leaders. We buy their leaders .

As an example, Roberts named the former Prime Minister of Great Britain Tony Blair … As soon as he left office, he was appointed advisor to financial corporations with a salary of 5 million pounds. In addition, the United States gave him a series of speeches - for each Blair received from 100 to 250 thousand dollars. It is known that the US State Department organized a similar program for ex-President Gorbachev.

Nevertheless, Mikhail Sergeevich, explaining his participation in advertising campaigns, refers to the lack of funds, which he then allegedly sends to finance the Gorbachev Fund. Maybe, maybe … However, it is known what considerable compensation Gorbachev received from Yeltsin for "non-conflict" leaving the Kremlin. It is also known that in September 2008, Mikhail Sergeevich received the Freedom Medal from the United States for the "end of the Cold War." The medal was accompanied by USD 100 thousand. To this should be added the Nobel Peace Prize, which R. Reagan "procured" for Gorbachev in 1990. However, without a doubt, this is only a known part of the material prosperity that the United States provided to the former president of the USSR.

It is known that in 2007 Gorbachev acquired an imposing castle in Bavaria, where he lives with his household. "Castle Hubertus", where a Bavarian orphanage was previously located in two large buildings, registered in the name of a daughter, Irina Virganskaya … In addition, Mikhail Sergeevich owns or uses two villas abroad. One is in San Francisco, the other is in Spain (next to the villa of the singer V. Leontiev). He also has real estate in Russia - a dacha in the Moscow region ("Moskva River 5") with a land plot of 68 hectares.

The financial capabilities of the former president of the USSR are evidenced by the "modest" wedding of his granddaughter Ksenia, which took place in May 2003. It took place in the Moscow fashionable restaurant "Gostiny Dvor", which was surrounded by police squads. The food at the wedding was, as the media wrote, "no frills." Goose liver medallions (foie gras) and figs, black caviar on an ice base with warm pancakes, chicken with mushrooms in a thin puff pastry were served cold. In addition, the guests indulged in fried hazel grouse and elk lips. The highlight of the gastronomic program was a three-tiered snow-white cake one and a half meters high.

There is no doubt that in the foreseeable future Gorbachev will be able to organize more than one such celebration for his granddaughters. Unfortunately, lifetime retribution, apparently, and will pass it. But, in addition to the human court, there is another Court, which sooner or later will pay tribute to this greatest of traitors - Herostratus of the XX century. And the US State Department will no longer help there.
