Since Andropov came to power, a series of reform measures have been introduced.
Among them, the police went to the streets to check work discipline, which caused a lot of scolding, and Mr.
An quickly canceled this unpopular policy and adopted some more flexible measures.
For example, the rule that alcoholic beverages can only be sold after 12 o'clock has largely restricted the occurrence of some drunkards from going to work drunk.
Andropov was well aware of the importance of oil and vodka for the country.
He once famously said that just drinking soup without drinking wine is either a fool or a wood.
Therefore, Andropov did not intend to engage in the prohibition campaign like the previous General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, but on the contrary he lowered the price of a cheap vodka, which is now affectionately called Andropovka.
But these things are not at the same level at all compared to Mr.
An's crackdown on corruption.
The recent news of the shooting of two high-ranking officials was a relief to ordinary people who abhorred corruption, and many believed that Andropov was a great man on a par with Peter the Great and Stalin.
As a result, under the influence of this popular opinion, the KGB investigation team sent to Tashkent had just gotten off the plane when it received a snowflake of letters of accusation, which was completely different from the situation when Chubanov came here to investigate a year earlier.
Because everyone believes that this time Andropov is not just talking, he is serious.
In the first few days, just reading the letters of complaint took the entire energy of the staff of the investigation team.
It was the first time that these KGB cadres from Moscow had come to the union republics on the border of the motherland, and the contents of the report letter made them feel so shocked that they could not even believe that this incident would happen in the 20th century.
Many even enclosed their letters with photographs of many officials' residences, which were huge and lavishly furnished, like the castles of the nobility of the tsarist era.
Hassan, who had accepted Seryosha's orders, also followed, and Hassan had a Central Asian face, which was not obtrusive here in Uzbekistan.
Hassan was accompanied by several of his henchmen in Moscow.
A group rented a house around the hotel where the investigation team was staying, and began to monitor everyone entering and leaving the place, tracking the whereabouts of any members of the investigation team as soon as they left the hotel.
Hassan: They will try to report the investigation team's every move here to Seryosha in Moscow.
Seryosha selected a few reliable people from among the members of the old Gorky gang in Moscow, whose only task was to keep an eye on those insiders inside the border guards.
As soon as you notice something wrong, report it to Seryosha immediately.
Seryosha has no intention of worrying about other issues these days, he keeps inquiring about the gossip in officialdom circles, and the news progress in the newspaper is also the news that Seryosha must watch every day.
To his surprise, the caviar case, which was about to come to an end, was implicated in another big case, in which the Black Sea Fleet and the Baltic Fleet of the Red Navy colluded with the Soviet Ministry of Commerce to smuggle automobiles, household appliances and other goods from abroad, and a large number of officials were once again involved.
Originally, Seryosha had nothing to do with this matter, but soon it became clear from officialdom that Foreign Minister Gromyko, who had always had a good reputation, and Grishin, secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, were involved.
Seryosha is in officialdom, and the channels of news are far wider than ordinary people, and people of the level of Grischen and Gromyko will not be held accountable in any case.
Soviet officials used their wisdom and imagination to their advantage, using the power granted by the state to profit for themselves, and many states often sent large numbers of officials to prisons where class enemies were once held because of a single case.
Pravda reports that people are expelled from the party every day, and this trend has the potential to spread throughout the country.
The situation has never been more tense, and Seryosha is now facing the KGB that Andropov brought out.
With 100,000 employees, it is the most efficient intelligence organization in the world.
In the face of such a formidable opponent, Seryosha had no power to fight back at all, and he had decided to stop all illegal business in the country, leaving only overseas branches to maintain operations, and he was glad that he did not put all his chips in the country.
As the situation deteriorated, the guys who used to drive good cars, live in mansions, and live an enviable life became eye-catching targets, and a little person that Seryosha had forgotten about was soon targeted: Chernenko of the Leningrad branch of the KGB.
A small person who could have decided Seryosha's life and death, but now it is insignificant.
Chernenko made a lot of money from Seryosha in those years, and later returned to Leningrad for meritorious service.
Chernenko has since lived a life of luxury that does not match his income.
He drove to and from work every day in an imported car that he could not have afforded, was very particular about food and clothing, and lived in a luxury apartment in Leningrad.
In the Brezhnev era, no one would have bothered about these things at all, and everyone complained enviously at best: "That guy is really lucky".
Now this has all turned into a nightmare for Chernenko.
The letter about Chernenko was quickly sent to the KGB's internal whistleblowing system.
Not surprisingly, Chernenko was the subject of an investigation, unable to explain where he had spent his extravagant life, and Chernenko had to respond with silence.
"Dude, you're also trained, you know our methods, we don't want to rehearse them on you," the investigator said threateningly to Chernenko.
"Ask you again, this is your car, this is your house, your salary will not earn so much even if you retire, tell us where your money comes from," the other party asked sharply.
Chernenko still bowed his head and remained silent, he had already decided that he would carry it to the end, even if he went to prison.
I still have savings overseas.
As long as the wife and children go abroad, this money is enough for them to live a comfortable life, and they choose to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the family Chernenko.
"Chernenko, I know what you think.

But you're a bit underestimated, and I don't like that.
Since you don't know each other so much, I don't need to be polite to you.
I heard that your wife is not in good health, so I arranged a good place for him, and I can also let your daughter accompany him in the psychiatric hospital under your substation," an older voice said.
Chernenko slowly raised his head, his lips trembled, and his eyes were full of murderous aura, but he was so helpless. t1706231537:
