March 5, 1953 dying leader of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin.On his death and told the media, politicians and even participated in many events.The debate about how good or bad was the period of Stalin, continue to this day.Interest in him was not so much cognitive as ideological.Therefore it is necessary to consider in detail Mingrelian case, which, for obvious reasons, Stalin was not able to finish.
revision of the Stalinist course began with the fact that the Party Congress begins to debate whether it was true Mingrelian case against Beria.
At this stage of Soviet history strongest intertwined national problems of the Soviet Union, which have found their place on both sides of the Caucasus Mountains.The local population is divided into clans, between which for centuries was a war.Power does not corrupt could solve the problems of the population.It is because of this will soon be launched Mingrelian case summarized in these lines.
Stalin in the south
Toward the end of the summer of 1951, Joseph Stalin sent to the south in his last vacation in your life.He was in Tskhaltubo, when it comes to the Minister of State Security (MGB) of the Georgian SSR Nikolai Rukhadze.The conversation turned on the emigration of the Menshevik Georgia.In addition, Rukhadze also mentioned about corruption in the Georgian SSR, proposing to establish a special body to fight bribery.
way, similar issues have been raised before and Stalin kept them in sight at all times after the end of World War II."Leningrad Affair," "a case of clandestine synagogue" in the city of Novokuznetsk and many other repressive campaigns are often flimsy charges, but at the same time the basis of their anti-corruption could not be refuted.
Mingrelian affair begins with the fact that during sweeps MGB personnel Rukhadze Georgia predecessor had put up fierce resistance from the second secretary TSKKP (b) of the Georgian SSR Mikhail Baramia and Lavrenti Beria, who was deputy Stalin.
outbreak of war between Rukhadze and bars
between Michael bars and Rukhadze started a real war.Demands were made to send the current minister to resign and be judged by the vast number of charges.The trial Rukhadze held in 1955, when Beria had to be executed, and the Stalin died.GB Georgian Minister decides to enlist the support of the Great Leader, which was very good step.
November 9, 1951 leaves the decision that has received the title of "Bribery in Georgia and about the anti-party group of bars."Despite the measures taken to combat corruption, the result was not achieved, so says the resolution.It was also pointed out that the apparatus of power in Georgia and carries corrupt patronage of corrupt officials.
In addition, the decision states that if Mingrelian group will be given a proper rebuff, there may be new people who will continue their business, perhaps even from other regions of the country.In this case, the Communist Party of Georgia is likely to fall apart into several pieces.
Mingrelian affair so called because, according to the authorities, the group in Georgia consisted mainly of Mingrelians.Baramia Rapava, Shonia, Chichinadze Kuchava and losing their jobs.It was suggested to start advocacy work against them.
Interrogations began a series of investigations and arrests, which were brought from Moscow experienced workers MGB.The interrogations were carried out in a style that is strongly reminiscent of Beria and Rukhadze: Apply a variety of ways to ensure that the defendant gave false confessions.Worst of all those to whom used physical coercion: a prisoner for a long time sitting in a cold room, twisting his arms and handcuffed, beaten with sticks, deprived of sleep for a long time, starved, and more.Obtained "testimony" went to the top, after which it was approved the decision on the status of the Communist Party in the Georgian SSR.It argued that the mistakes and shortcomings in the work of the authorities in Georgia progressed very slowly.
Mingrelian affair revealed that a group led by Baram planned takeover.March 27 the first secretary of the CC CP (b) Candide Charkviani lost his job, and his place is taken by Alex Mgeladze.It was assumed that a formal change of government, as well as classified Charkviani enemy of the people had to make it Lavrenty Beria, who recommended him to the former place of work.
Beria did not dare to disobey the requirement of the Great Leader, and then he comes under the gaze of the investigation.Also arrested Vardo Maksimelishvili who worked Major State Security of Georgia and was under the patronage of Lavrenty Pavlovich.From the investigation he was unable to leave her husband, who worked in the MGB.July 16, 1953 Beria admitted that he lived with Maksimelishvili before she married.
investigation wanted to go to the chief of Samegrelo, but Joseph Stalin died.Beria, who headed the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, established a committee to review many things, including Mingrelian.This was necessary in order to release the dedicated people to bring them back to the top positions, as well as to take power in their hands, not only in Georgia but throughout the state.
Freeing people Beria said that Stalin personally sent them to a conclusion.Moreover, it is often associated with Georgia, asking about the progress of the case and Mingrelian showing discontent.The leader demanded to use physical measures to finally get recognition.
Results April 10, 1953, it was recognized that the Mingrelian group never existed and that the case against her was nothing more than a provocation.Thirty-seven arrested in the case were released and fully rehabilitated, but many of them were in prison again, but in the case of Beria.
Beria and his supporters were able to create that kind of power in Georgia, the bad side of which have become the norm throughout the USSR.Of course, there are the wine and Stalin, without which "berivschina" have existed for a long time.In his defense we can say that it was Stalin who was the first to fight the outrages in the government of Georgia.
