From declassified documents about Yuri Andropov

52
Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov for fifteen years led the State Security Committee and with over a year led the country. Meanwhile, Soviet citizens knew almost nothing about its origin. For a number of reasons, documents about his birth, information about his parents were kept under the "secret" stamp in the main archive of the USSR.

Only the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee and the head of the General Department of the Central Committee had access to these secret documents. Only these two people knew that the archive contains folders that shed light on the childhood, adolescence and youth of Yuri Andropov.



Not so long ago, these documents were declassified. The historian Leonid Mlechin in his documentary film will try to understand the secrets of the origin of Yu.V. Andropov, who played an important role in the life of the Soviet state. He will try to understand why information about his origin, about his relatives for a long time was one of the most important secrets in the USSR.

Why did the investigation of the biography of his parents, grandfathers and great-grandfathers almost cost Andropov a career, and maybe even a life? What information did the biography of the chairman of the State Security Committee, General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee contain in the film:

    The figure is rather ambiguous, it is not clear what he did there in the KGB and what kind of staff he trained, that only five years after him the USSR collapsed, and for a long time the head of the service did not take any measures.

      There have already been articles about the KGB. In the latter it was written that even under Khrushchev, the Ministry of State Security was made a Committee, forbidden to work inside the country and subordinated to the Central Committee of the CPSU! Those. information about the situation inside the country, about moods, etc. was, but the Committee could only work on "scapegoats", individual dissidents, but in no way could it track, let alone develop, the First Secretaries of the CPSU Central Committee or "God forbid" members of the Central Committee.
      That's where the collapse of the country came from!

        Starover Z. You are confusing periods. which were completely opposite throughout. After the October 1964 coup, a group of people came to power, nominating a cowardly but "democratic and not dictatorial character" Leonid Brezhnev. Some of the participants in the conspiracy, like Podgorny, were soon pushed away from power, and a circle with clearly expressed properties remained. Quote :: "Let's take a closer look at the persons of the first persons of the state of the Brezhnev era. In terms of nationality, according to information that appeared in 1982 on the pages of an American magazine "Liberty Bell", journalist A.F. Karlov-Dolimilov

        Therefore, it is understandable why he was appointed chairman of the KGB. YU. Andropov, who had nothing to do with this service before ... And during his work, he turned the KGB. in a concentration nest with Jewish workers. (akin to the actions of Yanokh Yaguda-Henryk Yagoda). That to this day is seen the consequences in the services of the FSB.

            Mikhail Sergeyevich Solomentsev, a long time former Soviet Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, had a classic Great Russian appearance. You could have his photo, along with a photo of his other countryman, also a native of the then large Oryol province (region), actor Ivan Pereverzev, placed in ethnology textbooks as a reference model for the appearance of the Great Russian. By the way, Stalin's associate Kirov's appearance was also typically Great Russian.
            Have you seen a photo of Suslov or Kulakov? Or newsreels with their participation. Fyodor Davydovich Kulakov, who had a reputation as an anti-Semite, would be surprised that he is considered a Jew. Or Suslov, who until the end of his days spoke with a pronounced, "okay" Volga accent.

          Why is Israel still intact, because there are only Jews?
        4. Congratulations, Sir Vladimir 5, you are stupid. You call frankly Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians and the Baltic states as Jewish people .. You have replaced thinking with posts of posts for reposts of reposts.
          You can check for each candidate yourself and make sure that you are a LIAR!
          How it is necessary to hate the RUSSIAN people, so as you, to consider that the Russian people are a herd of sheep, and the Jews are its shepherds.
          The entire leadership during the period of the Brezhnev USSR were not Jews. Partly, maybe, was Andropov * and specifically was Dymshits.
          * Andropov’s mother, music teacher Evgenia Karlovna Fleckenstein (? - 1927) [19], was, according to Yu. V. Andropov himself, not Jewish, but the adopted daughter of wealthy Jews.
          And what are your complaints about these orthodox communists, rooted in communist ideology? This was the period of the highest power of the Owls. states, when USSR planes flew around the world, ships sailed across all seas, Europe, Poland, half Africa, half of South America were in the hands of the USSR.
          What did you want to say by someone else's posts on reposts of reposts?

            Your heartfelt comment will have to be answered. All the tsars and emperors of Russia forbade Jews from entering the state. The kings understood the dangers - the example of the European states. Only by annexing the Polish territories during the partition did they receive a "gift" of a million Jews. This million, having multiplied to five, started a bloody revolution and civil war. (leaders and main executioners of the revolution) .. This is a preamble. Further, the Jews already led and worked for the created USSR. I. Stalin came forward, strengthening the dictatorship, moved, or rather and destroyed the most important "creators of the revolution and civil war", as competitors in power .. The Jews quieted down, because there was nowhere to go. But with the creation of the state of Israel, they all switched to helping their state, defected under the wing of the United States, and since the 50s have already worked against the USSR. As for those figures in the highest bodies of the USSR, - so the Stalinist administration forced them to switch to conspiracy - change their names, hide their origin, replacing with fake ones, etc. USSR .. (The main ones who started the collapse of the USSR were Y. Andropov with the cited M. Gorbachev, and Primakov with Yakovlev, all with Jewish roots) .. If the Jews worked for the USSR and Russia, no questions to them, like any other nation. But they are very close historically, and if they have gone under the wing of the enemy of the USSR, the United States, then they are overwhelmingly acting this way. Let's come to the last stage - the collapse of the USSR and the plundering of the wealth of Russia, and who did it, when families suffered from hunger and underpayments, millions of Russian workers and intelligentsia lived without money and barely making ends meet that they did in power - Chubais, Gaidar, Berezovskys, Voloshin under the "family" replacing Boris Yeltsin, who was incapacitated since 25, the entire oligarchy of one nation, millions of dollars stolen under concocted state laws were sent to foreign banks, at least one gave part of his stolen for the needs of the people, no, even one of the leaders that the death of 1996 million Russians, that is, every fifth Russian, is nothing sucking - there was no such extermination in famine after the civil war. But there was no war, only the plundering of the nation's wealth by a handful .. If this leader said in Israel that perhaps one in five Israelis would die, what would they have done to him in Israel, he clearly ended up in prison for genocide. Here in Russia, further, he plunders the nationwide - nationwide billions, with a poor people ... We will continue to be silent and wait. when we die out under this guidance ...

        The MGB was merged with the Ministry of Internal Affairs into a single Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately after the death of Stalin. And in 1954, the KGB under the USSR Council of Ministers was allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At the same time, border guards until the end of the 50s. were in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were transferred to the KGB after the beginning of the 60s. the Union-Republican Ministry of Internal Affairs was abolished and its functions were transferred to the Republican Ministry of Internal Affairs (MOOP). In 1966, the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the Union level was restored.

According to them: in order to check some persons it was necessary to check the information on the party cards, there were definitely verified data, to talk to the first secretaries of the regional committees. Under Stalin there were no questions, even from the meetings the first secretary came out to discuss issues with counterintelligence.
        With the advent of Khrushchev, the secretaries were not allowed to continue ... Well, already with me, the military counterintelligence could not even develop, upon receipt of certain information, even the released secretary of the Komsomol committee without coordination with the head of the political department.

Did you think that the almighty Office, knowing EVERYTHING that is happening in the country, was screwed by its collapse ....? No, she was in charge of this collapse. Andropov was led through life by the Comintern comrade Kuusinen, a protege of the European elites. And the idea was as follows - to unite with Europe and our "elite" could fully enjoy all the benefits bestowed by the technologies of Europe and the resources of Russia. But for this it was necessary to destroy the USSR, get rid of the national outskirts - Transcaucasia and Central Asia, destroy the Soviet ideology ...

    they were worth each other. Andropov defeated and brought Putin, would have defeated Schelokov, would have brought some other, and heels would have licked him. Why Anropov won and not Shchelokov - the answer lies in the KGB's better adaptability to external conditions, which was then required from an unauthorized person in all directions of the USSR. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is already too kersey, homespun unit of the repressive machine of the Russian Federation.

    Under Andropov, economic topics practically died down in the media, the so-called "national economy" was no longer discussed. For that, a purely repressive tightening of the screws began, a stick without a carrot, periodically diluted by populism in the form of "andropovka" and demonstrative cases of corruption. It is not necessary to be seven spans in the forehead to guess that it was during the Andropov period that a team of the grave digger of the USSR was formed in the Central Committee and in a number of regional / regional committees. The last chord was how quickly the "Andropovites" overwhelmed K.U. Chernenko, who went to the General Section from the post of party control. A well-oiled and organized team had to act here, and they acted quickly, very quickly, after Gorbik's "godfather" glued the flippers together.
