Alexander Bushkov “Stalin. Frozen Throne. Elba Irina, Osinskaya Tatyana Ice tone
The author, like many, did not answer the question why the Red Army needed to get rid of commanders who had reached the limit of their service life, individuals who did not correspond to their positions and an illiterate contingent. What was mythologized and called “purge.” But there was a reason, and on a global scale for the army - the PRINCIPLE of formation was changing (from militia-territorial to regular), the size of the army increased dramatically and rearmament began with more modern types of weapons. And getting rid of such ballast is natural, especially since they were replaced by young commanders with appropriate education and training.
And those 2,500 repressed for embezzlement, abuse of power, murder, rape, espionage and other illegal actions are a completely different story. In the case indicated in the first paragraph, the “repression” was handled by the personnel department with pen and paper, and in the second, the competent authorities dealt with it.

Busya... have you read about the purge in the army? 40 thousand were FIRED from the ranks of the Red Army, not killed, but dismissed! Moreover, for drunkenness and moral decay, in the majority. Of the 40 thousand actually executed, 100 times fewer were repressed. Moreover, the majority are for the cause - murder while drunk, rape. Has anyone used this to settle personal scores? Yes, of course I did! But what does Stalin have to do with it?! By the way, I have a strong conviction that it was Zhukov who “hooked” Rokossovsky. Are there any hints, you know?
And I would like to draw your attention to the extent to which drunkenness and moral decay have reached in the army, that the highest authorities had to gather to resolve this issue. body of the country, bypassing the People's Commissariat of Defense and his immediate superior, who turned out to be unable to cope with the problem! Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, the officer corps at that time was 250 thousand in total. It is clear that 40 thousand of the worst were fired. And for an arrest, the consent of a higher-ranking superior was needed. And there were precedents (albeit rare, such a military brotherhood) when the boss did not sign and the arrest did not take place! So they fired 40 thousand, but even the worst ones remained! And there were many times more of them!
Who was our people's commissar at that time?!? Isn't it Tukhachevsky? I advise you to read the works of this “outstanding”
military figure. And then take and immediately read Guderian’s book “Tanks Forward,” written all the way in 1935.
You will get a LOT OF IMPRESSIONS. Trust me

I love Bushkov
1. Refers to himself as a source.))))
2. I, he says, am a detective, so I know how it should be according to the rules of a detective.))))
3. And in general - since they are all bastards, then they had to be killed.

In his desire to justify the repressions, Bushkov, in my opinion, goes too far. He says that the army was overloaded with officers. That's why they cleaned it up. Good way cut staff. I shot the extra ones and everything was in order. Again about the “brilliant designers”. Bushkov has such hostility towards Tukhachevsky that he casually attacks those people whom T. helped in some way. Namely, Korolev, Langemak, Kleimenov. Bushkov overlooks the fact that Gird initially worked on the enthusiasm of the people who founded it. Nobody helped them. And Tukhachevsky paid attention to them and helped a little. By the way, this GIRD later became part of the Rocket Science Research Institute, which created rockets. Vladimirov writes that Langemak was the creator of Katyusha. And Bushkov writes about him as a worthless “inventor.” Until now, I trusted what Bushkov writes, but now somehow my trust has wavered.

Title: Stalin. Frozen Throne
About the book Alexander Bushkov “Stalin. Frozen Throne"
In his new book, A. Bushkov continues to explore the personality of Stalin in the last two decades of his life. Bolshevik terror, personnel purges on the eve of the war, behind-the-scenes intrigues around the leader and the great battle with fascism became the subject of his unbiased analysis.
The author does not set himself the task of either “rehabilitating” or “praising” Stalin. He is only trying to restore the real history, understand the motives and explain the actions of Stalin without primitive clichés, when only black and white paint is used.
Along with unique materials and photographs, the author, for the first time in the last 50 years, publishes the famous report of L. Beria at a meeting of the Tbilisi party activists.
