An article in Komsomolskaya Pravda sparked a huge discussion in Georgia, and the discussion began to move closer to the sensitive national question of the Soviet Union.
Gradually, the contradictions between Georgians and Abkhazians were torn apart.
This is great news for Shevardnadze.
He had realized that this opportunity was a great opportunity for him to oust Patiashvili and Ligachev's working group.
Since Shevardnadze wanted to strike while the iron was hot, he had to send someone to Georgia as soon as possible to lead this targeted political struggle.
So Shevardnadze sent his long-time confidant Nikolsky to Georgia overnight to coordinate with his old men.
When Nikolsky took a flight to Georgia, there was no one else sitting behind him, officially Seryosha's henchman Hassan.
Seryosha now has to keep abreast of the latest developments in Georgia, and he also sees this as a great opportunity to strike at Lyachev.
And Shevardnadze's every move is crucial for Seryosha.
Seryosha thinks that instead of going his own way, it is better to secretly assist Shevardnadze, an old Caucasian fox who is a veteran politician with more experience in political struggles than himself, and Shevard Anze's rank is almost on par with Ligachev.
Now Seryosha just needs to hide under the big tree and release a cold arrow from time to time.
When Nikolsky arrived in Tbilisi, he visited many important departments in Tbilisi.
Hassan was curious to know what they had said, but he didn't find the right opportunity.
But for several days after that, these people gathered from time to time and began to plan something.
Just as Hassan was considering whether he could bribe the service staff at the meeting place to get a grasp of their negotiations.
Nikolsky is finally starting to make a move.
First of all, the old Georgian party members of the Abkhaz region sent a joint letter to the Central Committee, reporting that Patiashvili had used the anti-corruption campaign to make a big deal in the party and to attack and retaliate against comrades who disagreed with him, which seriously affected the stability and unity of the party.
The joint letter was published directly on the front page of the Komsomolskaya Pravda.
The Kremlin office of Gorbachev had to come forward and agree to investigate the matter.
Gorbachev is now extremely dissatisfied with Patiashvili.
Because of him, now the rift at the top of Georgia cannot be bridged.
Georgian cadres seem to have developed a strong distrust of Moscow.
And the joint letter written by those retired veteran party members is a harbinger.
In order to show that he took this matter seriously, Gorbachev decided to send Ryzhkov to Georgia to mediate the contradictions between Patiashvili and the local real power.
So not long after Nikolsky's arrival in Georgia, Ryzhkov himself flew to Tbilisi.
Ryzhkov listened to the opinions of Patiashvili himself, the Georgian locals, and the old comrades who had signed a letter in Tbilisi.
Ryzhkov found this matter very tricky.
Georgians have been wary of Moscow since the brutal repressions of the Khrushchev era.
Georgia was originally a single-ethnic union republic, and for thousands of years it was notoriously xenophobic.
And Stalin's cruel policy of national integration back then even the Chechens were exiled to Central Asia, but he only spared Georgia, perhaps Stalin still had feelings for Georgia, and he never could bear to do it However, this exclusivity has led to the expansion of the power of local officials, who can defy Moscow's decrees or even refuse to carry them out.
How can the Soviet Union's reform cause continue to be carried out in this way?
The CPSU has already held meeting after meeting for the reform program, drawing up plan after plan.
However, most of these plans have not been well implemented.
One of the biggest problems is that the policy has encountered local resistance.
As a result, many of Gorbachev's efforts were made useless, and the state-owned enterprises, which were the main focus of reform, never improved, except for the development of private enterprises in the Soviet Union after the liberalization policy.
It's easy to understand that private companies act spontaneously, while state-owned enterprises need to follow the instructions of their superiors.
One is bottom-up reform and the other is top-down reform.
The comparison between the two has created a situation where one side is booming and the other is dead.
However, most of the private enterprises in the Soviet Union were engaged in the import industry and the financial industry, which could not bring foreign exchange income to the Soviet Union, but constantly hollowed out the foreign exchange funds of the Soviet Union.
A few weeks ago, Ryzhkov saw a report from the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank, which showed that the trillion-dollar foreign exchange of the Soviet Union's foreign trade had fallen to 400 billion, while the corresponding ruble assets had been rising.
This made Ryzhkov feel anxious.
When Ryzhkov came to Abkhazia to mediate the local dispute, the Abkhaz cadre asked a shocking question in front of reporters and Ryzhkov himself.
"Chairman Ryzhkov, we in Abkhazia, which in the twenties were an independent union republic, were transferred to Georgia later.
Can we become independent from Georgia and join the USSR alone" Ryzhkov was stunned on the spot after hearing this, he did not expect that the contradictions between the Abkhazians and the Georgians were already so serious.
In the presence of reporters, Ryzhkov could only say that the Central Committee would listen carefully to the new life of the local comrades.

And will seriously consider it.
This sentence was heard by many journalists, especially Georgian journalists, but it was great news in the ears of Abkhaz journalists.
So the next day, both the local newspapers supporting ethnic Georgians and the local newspapers supporting ethnic Abkhazians coincidentally published an explosive piece of news on the front page: Ryzhkov said that the central authorities would consider the issue of allowing Abkhazia to join the Soviet Union independently.
This is like adding fuel to the fire, and the rumors of Abkhaz independence, which had been widely circulated in Georgia, seem to have been confirmed.
Immediately afterwards, South Ossetia also sent local ethnic representatives to Abkhazia to meet with Ryzhkov and put forward the same proposition as Abkhazia, and South Ossetia also wanted to leave Georgia and become a separate republic and join the Soviet Union.
The political proposition of the two autonomous oblasts to separate and become independent states has thoroughly aroused the discontent of the Georgians, who have asked themselves that there is nothing to be sorry for Abkhazia and South Ossetia, but it was the betrayal of their compatriots that made the Georgians angry, and the anti-separatist activities became the new focus of contradictions in Georgia. t1706231537:
