Before Korolev spoke about Yakovlev, Seryosha had never heard of this man.
After Seryosha learned about the glorious deeds of this man ten years ago, Seryosha became deeply interested in him.
He deliberately went to learn about Yakovlev's life, and this person is indeed not simple.
Born in 1923 in Yaroslavl, Soviet Union, to a poor peasant family, Yakovlev fought in the Great Patriotic War at the age of 18 and was discharged from the army with a lifelong disability due to a leg injury.
Since then, he has been on the rise, and at the age of 30, he entered the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and became a key training object, and was once sent to Columbia University in the United States for one year of study.
If it weren't for the sharply worded article in a literary newspaper ten years ago criticizing Brezhnev, he would have been a member of the Soviet Politburo.
After a setback, he spent a decade as Canada's ambassador, but found a new backer because he used his personal relationship with the Canadian prime minister to do Gorbachev a big favor during his visit to Canada.
Yakovlev soon returned to Moscow and became director of the Institute of World Economy and International Politics of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
Now his body has been deeply branded with Go's people.
But for the current Moscow officialdom, Gorbachev is not the most popular person in the Politburo.
Because of his age, Ge ranked last among the Politburo Standing Committee, and there were not many cadres who were willing to take the initiative to join him.
Only Seryosha, a person who is an afterthought, knows whose hands the party and government power in the Soviet Union will ultimately fall.
However, Seryosha did not think of using the power of Goshi to rise to the top in the officialdom, he just wanted to occupy a position in the Moscow Youth League Committee to prevent other forces from interfering.
Among the factions of the Politburo, the old subordinates of President Bo who stood with Chubanov would not do this, and neither would the people of President An, and the only variable was the Grischen and Gromyko factions.
Korolev arranged an opportunity for Seryosha to get close to Yakovlev at a symposium organized by the USSR Academy of Sciences for a number of high-ranking trade union officials on the activities of international workers.
Yakovlev was one of the keynote speakers at the symposium, and the opportunity originally belonged to Korolev, but Korolev gave it to Seryosha.
The symposium took place in a small conference room in the conference center of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and the format of the symposium was very different from the usual lectures.
The young cadres who attended the meeting were free to ask any questions related to the topic, which was also said to have been arranged at Yakovlev's request.
Seryosha punctually pushed open the door of the agreed conference room and walked in with his briefcase.
At this moment, some people are coming here one after another.
Most of them are senior cadres in the trade union system.
Seryosha didn't know any of them, but he underestimated his popularity, and many of the cadres seemed to know Seryosha.
"Secretary Ulyanov, it's a pleasure to see you here, I'm xxx" "Secretary Ulyanov, I didn't expect to see you here again, I'm xxx" "Secretary Ulyanov, I've been friends with you for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you here, I'm xxx" Someone kept getting up and saying hello to Seryosha, which made Seryosha feel a little embarrassed.
He couldn't even call these people by name, but they were very welcoming, and Seryosha was really not used to this kind of social situation "Young man, it seems that you are very popular," said an old man sitting in the main seat in the center of the room.
"Hello, Director Yakovlev is glad to hear your high arguments today," Seryosha said humbly.
"I can't talk about it, I just came back from abroad, I just want to tell you what I have seen and heard abroad, broaden everyone's horizons, please find a seat first, we will start the meeting later" Mrs.
Yakovle was very easy-going, and she couldn't feel the aura of a cadre in him at all, like an approachable old man.
"Okay, let's get started, where do you start, who of you have been to the United States or the developed countries of Western Europe," Yakovlev asked the crowd.
There were few people in the crowd who raised their hands, and Seryosha knew what he was here for.
There was no need to be conservative and modest at this time, so he raised his hand happily.
"Okay, I'm glad to see that there are cadres here who understand the outside world, then you also know very well what kind of living standard the working class abroad is, so let's start with the housing level of workers in our country and Western countries, I think everyone has a deep understanding of the housing system in China, I won't mention it here, I actually want to introduce what the housing conditions of workers abroad are like" In the following time, Yakovlev degraded the housing allocation system in the USSR to the point of worthlessness, To be honest, Seryosha felt that most of what the old man said was very reasonable, but Seryosha felt that Yakovlev did not mention the shortcomings of the foreign housing loan system, nor did he say that once the old white surname could not repay the loan, he would soon face the result of the bank coming to collect the house.
He was only there to praise how reasonable the housing allocation system abroad was, and how comfortable the houses of foreign workers were.
Seryosha had only been to the United States, not Canada, and he did not know the actual situation in Canada, so he just quietly listened to Yakovlev's high opinion.
"Director Yakovlev, one of our people is now in charge of the Moscow workers' village project, I don't know if you are interested in hearing the opinion of Secretary Ulyanov," someone enthusiastically pushed Seryosha to the front of the stage.
"Well, I've just returned home, but I've heard about the project in the new Moscow workers' village, and I'd like to hear what the managers of the project have to say," Yakovlev said, extending his hand to Seryosha and warmly inviting him to speak.
At this moment, Seryosha didn't want to be in the limelight, but he was willing to play close to Yakovlev.
So Seryosha stood up and briefly explained some of the problems of the source of funds for the new Moscow workers' village.
He did not mention the pros and cons of the foreign housing loan system, because he did not want to refute Yakovlev's views.
"Comrade Ulyanov, you really opened my eyes, your method is indeed very good, but I think that compared with the Western housing system, the model you are adopting now is not universal.
But I'm still glad that our cadres are able to carry out some institutional explorations and reforms in an eclectic way," Yakovlev looked at Seryosha with admiration.
After the meeting ended, Seryosha found an opportunity to invite Yakovlev to the city Youth League Committee as a guest, Yakovlev happily agreed, and the two left each other's phone calls.
Seryosha felt that this time the goal had been basically achieved, and he was sure that he had made a deep and good impression on Yakovlev. t1706231537:
