Lenin was really at the end of his rope this time. Ever since the publishing mentor of "The Complete Works of Lenin" saw the first edition, his body collapsed immediately. The motivation that supported him to persist has been extinguished, and his lifelong wish has basically been realized. , now he really needs a long rest. The mentor closed his eyes forever after hearing the news that Li Xiaofeng was elected as Chairman of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Military Commission just after the conference ended. After hearing this bad news, Li Xiaofeng was also very uncomfortable. He had mentioned many times before that he had a different kind of feeling for his mentor. His mentor was not only his senior leader but also his father and teacher. Now his mentor is gone. , Li Xiaofeng felt like losing a loved one. Soon, Li Xiaofeng personally took charge and established a committee for the funeral of Comrade Lenin. He was the leader, and Trotsky and Sverdlov were the deputy leaders. As long as the older generation of revolutionaries still alive in the Soviet Union almost always appeared. For the Soviet Union, the aftermath of their mentor is definitely a top priority. According to Lenin¡¯s last wish, his body will be burned and buried under the Red Wall. Although some old revolutionaries asked to preserve Lenin's body, they were all tactfully dissuaded by Li Xiaofeng. Lenin's spirit will last forever, but Lenin's body does not need to be treated like this. It is too inhumane! Lenin¡¯s death not only shocked the entire Soviet Union and the entire Communist camp, but also shocked the whole world. Whether it was the United States or the United Kingdom, all respectable countries sent special envoys to Moscow to express their condolences. Maybe many of them don't like Lenin, but no one can deny his influence on Russia and the world. The revolution he advocated has truly changed the world. In the end, tens of millions of people paid their respects to Lenin. People from all over the Soviet Union flocked to the capital, and everyone wanted to see the old man off for the last time. Lenin's coffin was carried out of the Kremlin by Li Xiaofeng and other members of the new Politburo Standing Committee. At that moment, cries could be heard around the Red Square and lasted for a long time. For more than a month, the entire Soviet Union was immersed in grief. Lenin was almost a symbol of the Soviet Union and this era. His sudden departure made people feel empty. People were not used to the absence of Lenin, and they always felt that it was not possible. So reassuring. Li Xiaofeng faced such a situation when he first came to power. The only good news for him was that fortunately Lenin persisted until the end of the conference. If Lenin had left before the conference, the impact and shock would have been even more significant. In May 1950, after waiting for 33 years, Li Xiaofeng finally ascended to the throne of the highest power core of the Soviet Union. A superpower with a population of nearly 200 million rests on his shoulders. In the next dozen years, he will shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the Soviet Union forward. To be honest, this burden is very heavy. Because Li Xiaofeng has too many problems to solve. Economic reform must continue, institutional reform must be carried out, and complex ethnic and religious conflicts must be faced. More importantly, another superpower, the United States, is still wielding swords and guns at the side of the bed. This Everything needs to be solved by him. So where will Li Xiaofeng start? Some comrades may say that to start with the economy first, we must give up the old plan of the planned economy, otherwise the Soviet Union will inevitably be doomed. This may be true, but it is not the best choice. Economic issues are of course a top priority, as they are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, but solving the problems existing in the economy must not be solved overnight. What Li Xiaofeng wants to carry out is a gradual reform rather than a sudden reform. The former is more moderate and stable, and more suitable. Current situation in the Soviet Union. Why do you say that? Because after nearly two decades of development, the Soviet Union has become accustomed to the planned economy model. This model is not deeply rooted, but it certainly has a broad mass base. Everyone is used to this model. No matter how good life is under this model, basically everyone has food and clothing to eat, clothing and a house to live in. Maybe these three items cannot be compared with the capitalist middle class. Than, but it is still a hundred times stronger than the era of Tsarist Russia. The lower class people are satisfied with this kind of life, but if you rashly tell them that you want to change, it will definitely cause turmoil, and the last thing the Soviet Union needs now is turmoil. In Li Xiaofeng¡¯s opinion, the best reform is that the spring breeze moistens things quietly, without making a big fuss or boasting. It is best to complete the change unconsciously. Of course, this most ideal state never exists, because when a country needs to make changes, it is often a very dangerous time. At this time, it requires bold and drastic means to make changes. It is better if the means are not drastic. No. However, Li Xiaofeng believes that the Soviet Union has not yet reached that point. At this time, the Soviet Union is still enjoying the dividends of the Great Leap Forward in productivity brought about by the highly centralized planned economy. According to historical rules, this dividend will probably be reached in the late 1950s to the early 1960s. Got chewed to pieces. Now we are still in the peak period of dividends. By the end of the 1950s, after passing this peak, we willIt started to go downhill. Ancient Chinese books say that peace is more difficult than chaos, and what Li Xiaofeng has to face is the situation of peace. Most people can't see the danger yet, and naturally have no motivation to change. At this time, forcing the bull's head will only have the opposite effect. Therefore, overly drastic reform measures are inappropriate and must be implemented step by step. Therefore, within this five years, Li Xiaofeng will not make drastic changes to the economic structure, but will introduce some decoy reform measures, such as allowing the emergence of small-scale private economies, such as small commodity economies. Let¡¯s first inject some fresh blood into the previously rigid field of small commodity flows, because the current model of the Soviet Union is really bad in this regard. For housewives in the Soviet Union, the most troublesome thing was buying daily necessities. In the Soviet Union, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea were all rationed per head. If you had money and no supply tickets, you couldn't buy anything. However, the quantity-based supply in the Soviet Union has always been in short supply, which means you have to queue up to buy anything. If you are late, come early tomorrow to queue up! What? You said you were waiting for the rice to be cooked at home. I'm sorry that I can't be accommodating. This is stipulated in the national plan. Who told you not to line up earlier? There are too many political jokes about this aspect in the Soviet Union. The people are really complaining about this painful supply system, but why has there been no major change? The reason is very simple. It is only the common people who suffer. For the privileged class of bureaucrats, it is never difficult to open the back door and buy things. So when it comes to reform, some people always have a misunderstanding. They always think that the people who want to change are the common people. This is not nonsense. The common people cannot decide the country¡¯s major plans and policies. Those who can make decisions are always the elites at the top. It is the elites who need to make changes, because the common people have always been passively obedient and have always been in a weak position, and the elites in a strong position do whatever they say. The distribution of interests in the entire country is in the hands of the elite, not the common people. In this situation of inequality, what reforms can the people decide? Let¡¯s put it this way, reform is the redistribution of the pie of established interests, and how much of this pie can the common people take? Often when reforms are needed, there is always a huge gap between the rich and the poor in society. A small group of people are full of food and drink, and the vast majority are struggling. In other words, the target of reform is definitely not the common people, but the small group of rich and wealthy people. The cake must be snatched from their mouths and more of it given to ordinary people. This is the correct way to reform. If the goal of reform is to target ordinary people who are already living a relatively difficult life, then this is not called reform, it is called robbery and land grabbing. The most typical example is the vote exchange measure in later India. It was really a groundbreaking operation. Not to mention the sudden exchange of old banknotes for new banknotes, nor to mention that only a very short exchange time is given. Just citizens going to the bank to exchange with proof of identity is worth complaining about. Why? Maybe in the eyes of many comrades, this is no problem. The purpose of the cemetery's banknote exchange is to combat corruption and tax evasion, and to force out black money of unknown origin. There¡¯s nothing wrong with using your identity certificate to legally redeem it! There is a situation in this world where the program is correct but the substance is wrong, and the way the cemetery is done falls into this situation. Because India is such a special country, it can be said that most of its more than one billion people are illiterate. This is really not a joke, although India¡¯s own official data is an illiteracy rate of 20 to 30 percent (only This data is very scary), but this data has no meaning, because the standard of what is illiteracy is difficult to define. To put it bluntly, the literacy standard in India is really quite low. You can write your own name with 26 letters. It is not considered illiterate in India. This standard is ridiculously low. If calculated according to normal standards, there are at least 7.8 billion illiterate people in India, which means that the illiteracy rate in India is very likely to be above 60%! Some comrades may want to ask again, what does illiteracy have to do with what you said before? Don't worry, take your time, because illiteracy is very painful. It's a very simple thing. It's quite a pain for an illiterate to apply for various documents. If you don't know how to fill in various forms, you may not be able to apply effectively. Documents. Without valid documents, you cannot go to a bank to open an account, and being unable to open a bank account means that you cannot legally exchange old banknotes for new banknotes. Speaking of which, everyone should understand it instantly. For a large number of Indians at the bottom, it is impossible to have a bank account without an identity document, so they cannot exchange money at all in this round of urgent exchange of old banknotes. It is equivalent to saying that the little hard-earned money they have worked so hard to save has been "evaporated". Isn't this equivalent to scraping a layer of ground? Some comrades may say that the cemetery is really effective in combating corruption, tax evasion and money laundering, right? I'm afraid it's hard to say what the effect is. In fact, corruption, tax evasion and money laundering basically have nothing to do with the grassroots people in India.?Relationship, they don't have this ability. It is precisely India¡¯s elites who have this ability, and only they are able to evade taxes and launder money. And it may be difficult for them to change the currency* in the cemetery. Because this group of people basically controls India's national economy and people's livelihood, it is easy for them to pass on the old banknotes in their hands to the poor grassroots people. It is very simple. When ordinary people buy things, they can choose to only accept new banknotes, but They only give you old money in change, you either accept it or you don't get anything. As a result, ordinary people have to go to the bank repeatedly to queue up to change banknotes, which leads to the scenes that are loved to be seen in the news. But having said that, Third Brother¡¯s endurance is truly inhuman. If people in other countries encountered such blatant robbery, they would have rebelled long ago, but the most they would do is commit suicide in protest. It¡¯s really weird. Having said that, some comrades would like to refute again. Didn¡¯t India¡¯s public opinion polls say that 10% of citizens are satisfied with the currency change? Aren't you talking nonsense? In this regard, the only thing that can be said is that American opinion polls still show that Hillary is bound to be elected! Who came on stage last? The so-called public opinion polls are often just a guise. They are conducted by the so-called public opinion polling companies responsible for this work. As long as you pay, you can randomly check specific samples and come up with specific data. Even their survey questions can be instructive. If you follow their set of test questions, you will fall into a pit before you know it. So don¡¯t take this stuff too seriously, just listen to it. In short, what is happening in India can really only be described as a scam. The problem is that many so-called reforms in the world turn out to be a scam, because those rulers want to make changes but are unwilling to harm the vested interests unduly. For the interests of interest groups, the cake is always only so big. If changes are made over and over again, the common people will suffer in the end. Therefore, the most clear point in reform is who to operate on. The choice of this target is very important. From the perspective of maintaining stability and promoting unity, we must safeguard the interests of the broadest masses. As mentioned earlier, the broadest masses are always vulnerable groups. Defending the rights of vulnerable groups requires not only courage, but also ideas, strength and skill. So let¡¯s take a look at Li Xiaofeng¡¯s current situation. Does he have this idea? Why talk about reform if you have no idea? It's really not easy for a certain immortal to goof around. What about courage? There definitely is. Let¡¯s see if he has strength? He who had just become the supreme leader of the Soviet Union said that if he had power, he did have it, but please note that the Bolsheviks were always a collective leadership system, and no one person could say anything, at least in this time and space. Therefore, if Li Xiaofeng wants to reform, he must first win the broadest support and obtain enough power. In fact, this is the so-called trick
