Komsomolskaya Pravda's report caused a stir in Moscow, but it pales in comparison to the impact in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.
In the Komsomolskaya Pravda report, it was repeatedly emphasized that only ethnic Georgian cadres were taken away by the investigation team from Moscow, which caused panic among the majority of cadres of the Republic of Georgia.
In fact, it is not just panic, but also anger and resentment.
Why Abkhazia are all Georgian cadres under investigation, and why Armenian and Abkhaz cadres are nothing.
Why is Patiashvili, a Russian, able to serve as the first secretary of the Republic of Georgia, and not from among the ethnic Georgian cadres who make up the absolute majority of the population in Georgia?
All of a sudden, rumors were flying in Georgian officialdom, and all kinds of shady and insider conspiracy theories began to emerge one after another.
And there was one striking piece of news that made many Georgians angry.
That is, some people say that the reason why Ligachev dealt with a large number of local Georgian cadres in Abkhazia is to prepare for Abkhazia's secession from Georgia and its annexation to the Russian Republic, and some even say that Abkhazia will become an autonomous region of the Russian Republic, and then South Ossetia will also be separated from the jurisdiction of the Republic of Georgia.
These two pieces of news spread throughout the city of Tbilisi almost overnight, and soon Georgian ethnologists were criticizing in the newspapers that Ligachev's working group was trying to divide Georgia.
This was followed by a number of Georgian radicals who began to attack the Abkhaz minority, accusing them of being traitors to Georgia.
I wonder if the Abkhazians really think that Moscow will assign them to the Russian Republic, and they are very confident to start ridiculing Georgian officials in local Abkhaz newspapers as embezzlers, and many Abkhazians have also turned over the history of Georgian bullying of Abkhazians in the past.
As a result, the local media in Abkhazia began to unconsciously divide into two factions, one faction stood on the position of the Georgian ethnic group and accused the Abkhaz ethnic group of being ungrateful, while the other faction accused the Georgian ethnic group of bullying the small with the big, and they did not want to continue to stay in Georgia for a long time, and they wanted to apply to the central government to transfer it from Georgia and incorporate it into the Russian Republic.
What was originally a dispute over political views began to magnify infinitely in Georgia, as if there was a tendency to turn to national contradictions.
This is something that Seryosha did not expect.
Journalists based in Tbilisi bring the latest news back to Moscow every day.
Seryosha has been watching the situation in Georgia evolve all along.
In Seryosha's view, the more chaotic Georgia is now, the better, so that Ligachev's experience will be involved, so that he has no time to estimate Moscow's affairs, and at the same time, Shevardnadze, who has always been eyeing him, also thinks of using the ethnic contradictions in Abkhazia, Georgia to deal with Ligachev.
Seeing that things had come to this point, Shevardnadze felt that it would be more beneficial for him to make the dispute a little bigger.
One is that Shevardnadze can blame Patiashvili on this matter, but if this matter deteriorates further, then the culprit Ligachev's investigation team will not be able to stay in Georgia any longer.
Wedge Waldnadze, who had figured out these two points, hurriedly sent his henchmen and secretaries to leave Moscow overnight and fly to Tbilisi to think about his old subordinates to make arrangements.
When Shevardnadze's secretary left Moscow, Seryosha also knew about Todonia's blessing for the first time, Seryosha had good connections in the Soviet civil aviation agency, and many things in the Soviet civil aviation could not be hidden from Seryosha's eyes, including the secret trip to Tbilisi by Shevardnadze's secretary.
Since Seryosha has attacked, he will not give his opponent any respite.
Komsomolskaya Pravda has received criticism from other state media in Moscow, but it has an independent financial source and can bravely say no to the government.
However, Seryosha made some changes in the way Yeltsin struggled, and Seryosha told Yeltsin and Sobchak to go to Leningrad, the second largest city in the Soviet Union and at the same time a window to Europe, where Yeltsin was free to express any of his views at Leningrad University.
Seryosha and Leningrad University have greeted each other, and they will temporarily arrange a visiting professor position for Yeltsin, which will not only facilitate Yeltsin's public expression of his political views, but also use Leningrad University as the ideological and theoretical base of Yeltsin and Seryosha.
The Komsomolskaya Pravda reporters did not stop holding their pens, and just after Yeltsin's public speech on Moscow Radio, Komsomolskaya Pravda quickly published the full content of Yeltsin's speech.
All of a sudden, Yeltsin, who had already receded into the background, began to win people's attention again.
People admired Yeltsin's bravery, and at the same time, little by little, they began to accept Yeltsin's ideas.
Although Komsomolskaya Pravda became a public enemy of the Moscow media.
However, its sales are gradually rising, which makes the influence of Komsomolskaya Pravda even greater.
And this led to an even better phenomenon, many of the big people who had been under house arrest in the past, but who had used great influence in the Soviet Union, began to take a fancy to Komsomolskaya Pravda, and they began to submit articles to Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Among these writers, there are two well-known figures in the Soviet Union, one of whom is Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov, the father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb who defected to the United States.
After rehabilitating him in the Soviet Union a few years ago, Sakharov returned to his homeland to engage in a campaign against nuclear weapons.
The other is the famous Solzhenitsyn, who wrote the world-famous Gulag Archipelago of the Great Purge of the Stalinist era Two figures of great influence in Soviet society opened a column in Komsomolskaya Pravda to promote their ideas and theories.
This puts the Komsomolskaya Pravda one level above its competitors.
Both Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov were brutally treated by Porezhnev and defected to the United States.
After Gorbachev rehabilitated them, they all returned to the embrace of the Soviet Union without hesitation.
The legend of the two men had a huge influence in the Soviet Union, and this influence began to be brought to Komsomolskaya Pravda through their articles t1706231537:
