? After this series of preparations were completed, Zyuganov chose the best opportunity - the opportunity for the six giants and the federal president to leave the federal border without hesitation to the Leningrad faction. Especially against Sobchak himself. ^

Although he was in Beijing and had no chance to deeply understand the situation on the side of Leningrad, Guo Shouyun could guess how complicated the situation on the side of Leningrad was in the past two days. The meticulous planning of the helpers, the sudden attack on the attack, the thunderbolt sweeping the Leningrad faction, and the helplessness of old Sobchak in the face of difficulties, all of these can be imagined. The form is repeated in front of Guo Shouyun's eyes.

What effect did Victor's death have on the federal government? Now, with Sobchak's escape, this result has been revealed without a trace. There is no doubt that as a think tank-type figure, and also the real backbone of the Leningrad faction, Viktor's death, also It is tantamount to drawing the greatest stop for the historical stage of the "post-Soviet era". Although Sobchak wholeheartedly wants to take over the power stick of his old friend, fundamentally speaking, he does not possess the prestige of Viktor, and at the same time, he does not have Viktor's decisive, pungent, or even unparalleled wisdom. .

Guo Shouyun imagined that if the positions of Sobchak and Viktor were changed, then Leningrad would definitely look different today. In other words, old Sobchak had made too many mistakes.

First of all, he lacked the self-confidence that he must have as a superior, and because of this, he took various means to centralize power within the Leningrad faction. This caused the centrifugation of the members of the organization, caused the split of the entire Leningrad faction, and finally created the best opportunity for external enemies to attack.

Secondly, Sobchak lacks Victor's courage and viciousness, just imagine. If Viktor hadn't died, what would he have done when Yakovilov, as an outsider, won the governorship of Leningrad Oblast in one fell swoop? There is no doubt that he will not hesitate to take extreme measures and directly kill Yakovilov. And then plundered this important position again. As an outsider, what does Yakovilov have in Leningrad or even in the northern regions of the Federation? Obviously, he has nothing. It was too easy for the Leningrad faction to get rid of him. Moreover, under the circumstance of directly grasping the local Ministry of Internal Affairs and the security department, the strange death of this old man will never have any investigation results. In this case, Sobchak did not dare to take action, then this is his crime. The second biggest mistake.

Finally, compare with old friends. Sobchak still lacks such a calm and calm attitude. In Guo Shouyun's view. The current situation in Leningrad is of course extremely unfavorable for Sobchak, but then again. That's not to the point of exhaustion. In order to be able to hold on to his position, Victor worked hard in Leningrad for more than ten years. It is rude to say that within the scope of this state, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, almost all the shadows of the Leningrad factions are active. Cleaned up in just a few days. Yakovilov can replace the officials of the main departments at the state level, but he cannot replace all the officials of the whole state, large and small. In this case, as long as Sobchak can keep calm, calm down and clean up the faction power, eliminate those who have changed their minds, and give more autonomy to the members of the loyal organization, then it will take less than half a month for these people It will be twisted into a ball, and the entire core of state power, including Yakovilov, will be emptied, thereby effectively sweeping them out of the house. By then, even if Sobchak is in jail for personal problems, so what? With a backhand, the Leningrad faction can easily fish him out, and even push him back to the altar.

Furthermore, facing the offensive of Zyuganov and others, it is impossible for the Big Six and the Kremlin to sit back and watch for a long time. In order to coordinate the federal power, they are destined to jump out at a critical moment, and firstly draw a hard shot at Zyuganov. Whip, and then a good pacification of the fragmented factions of Leningrad - how politics plays, isn't that how it plays?

But it is a pity that Sobchak Kong has great ambitions, but he does not have the courage and ability of Victor. In the face of the decline of the Leningrad faction and the possibility of prison disaster at any time, the old man panicked. Now, he didn't know who's suggestion he accepted, so he threw off the power of the entire faction and fled in a panic.

When thinking about these issues, Guo Shouyun really felt a little incredible. He didn't understand how Sobchak, an old man who looked so shrewd, could be so stupid. He didn't think about it. According to Zyuganov and the others With such a temper, after so long of brewing, if they really intend to put a person to death, is it possible for the other party to escape from the federal border? But now, he Sobchak not only escaped, he even had time to go home to take his wife, children, grandchildren, and then unhurriedly pack up his luggage, take care of the gold and silver, and waste it all the time. After losing a lot of time, what does it mean that no one has come up to stop him? Obviously, this can only explain one point, that is, the people of Zyuganov didn't want to arrest him at all, and they even reserved a way for him Sobchak to let him swagger out of the federal border.

Speaking of which, some people may find it inconceivable. Since Zyuganov is going to deal with Sobchak, why did he let his opponent leave? In Guo Shouyun's view, this answer is really simple, for nothing else, because for Zyuganov, Sobchak's escape is precisely the most crucial part of his entire layout. If this If the old rival doesn't run away, he won't be able to sing in the later scenes. If one fails, even his entire plan will be ruined.

As I said before, if Sobchak doesn't leave and ends up in prison, what will happen next? There is no doubt that, as a veteran who has been in the federal political arena for more than ten years, with such a small role as Yakovilov, he is absolutely incapable and has no courage to interrogate Sobchak. In this process, those who are connected with Sobchak's interests, and even some international forces, will jump out without hesitation to interfere, the old man is not guilty, these people have to stand up for him, the old man is guilty, these People still have to stand up for him, and after all this tossing and turning, Sobchak was finally acquitted and released, and it will be inevitable to continue to frankly and frankly in the federal political arena. By then, Zyuganov's entire plan to attack his opponent had actually failed.

But now, Sobchak couldn't stand the pressure and chose to escape by himself. Then, with his departure, Zyuganov's wish was complete. , which is equivalent to directly ruining his entire political life. Even if he has the opportunity to clear his name in the future and have the opportunity to return to the Federation, he will no longer be able to find his place in the political circle of this country. It is precisely because of this that Guo Shouyun described in his personal notes: "After experiencing a lifetime of political ups and downs, Sobchak finally escaped in a hurry amid Zyuganov's farewell beating of gongs and drums. With the emergence of this scene, the political situation that lasted for nearly ten years has come to an end, the historical horn of the end of the post-Soviet era has sounded the billowing waters of the Yangtze River, and the waves have washed away heroes. Victor died, Sobchak escaped, Hasbulatov and Rutskoy were swept out, and now only Yeltsin, who is a puppet of the president, and himself Zyuganov, who has limited influence but is unwilling to admit defeat. At this time, as a fisherman fishing on the banks of the river, I can say with certainty that the fate of Victor and his generation of politicians has been regarded as the end of history. In the long river."

With a feeling in his heart, Guo Shouyun has not forgotten to ask one more question, that is, who was with Sobchak when he fled, and the answer given by Korzakov did not make the giant Disappointment - Vladimir, this is the only "good guy" among all the people around Sobchak who gave up his political future and fled with him. In order to accompany his teacher, so that he would not have any accident in the case of frustration, and at the same time, to take care of his illness, Vladimir rejected many solicitations, including Zyuganov's side, without hesitation. Went with Sobchak. According to Korzakov, that is, "Sobchak is finally lucky, at least, he has a loyal assistant by his side." Vladimir, after all, is not an ordinary person.

Guo Shouyun knew that this former friend was playing a big gamble. He was using his political future and all his ideals as a bargaining chip, betting that Zyuganov would not be able to fully control the Leningrad faction, and that the Kremlin would not let him go. Novo's power has grown, and I bet that when he returns to the Federation in the future, he will be able to win the respect of all parties with his performance today-for him, this is an alternative political capital, and The odds of winning the entire gamble were an astonishing three-to-seven.
