An American doctor who wrote the article in the Washington post that the candidate, probably, was poisoned by Russian agents, of course, knew well enough either Soviet or Czechoslovak history. I am afraid that the CIA and the Gosdeportamenta where States vary, of course, took note of this comment is opposed to its broad discussion, but do not remember the events of the early 80-ies. I already somewhere wrote about them, but briefly remind you.
The successor to the ailing Chernenko as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, that is, lords of the socialist camp, of course, was and would be Dmitri Ustinov – Politburo member, Minister of defense, was part of Andropov and Gromyko in “nut three” who ruled the Soviet Union with a sick Brezhnev and start a war in Afghanistan, never approved by either the Supreme Council or even of the Politburo. Importantly, for Ustinov, the most influential after the death of Andropov, member of the Soviet leadership was the giant army and the entire military-industrial complex, which he has managed since Stalin’s time.
It seemed the newly appointed Politburo member Gorbachev no chance. But he was KGB. Ustinov, to demonstrate his power, had huge joint exercises of the armies of the Warsaw Pact, but it turned out that they became his fatal mistake. Too many were able to him to come close.
First from a mild cold began to treat standing next to Ustinov on maneuvers, defense Minister of Czechoslovakia Martin dzura Soviet. More powerful Ustinov stayed longer, but five days later and put it in Kuntsevsky hospital with pneumonia, apparently Ustinov knew he wouldn’t survive this mild cold (Dzur died almost a month later), despite the protests of the doctors left the hospital and held in the Ministry of defence management meeting. Close to him in those years, and now Colonel-General Ivashov writes it’s unclear what they talked about changing the military doctrine. Alexander Yakovlev does not decode the sentence in memory – “we were close to a military coup”.
But Ustinov, of course, three days later died of pneumonia, not one of the soldiers, including his chosen successor in the post of defense Minister Marshal Sokolov came to Red square, where the triumphant Gorbachev Mausoleum talked about the merits Chernenko, which meant that he’s the new Secretary General. It is unlikely that the power of the military in the USSR would be worse than the power of the KGB. Maybe in USA medicine better than in the USSR and Hillary Clinton will not only survive, but recover from pneumonia. And assuming all this, then the reluctance of trump talking about the disease, Clinton may, for example, mean that he knows a lot about it and in case of failure, afraid of accusations of complicity and the electric chair.
