As a marshal of the former Soviet Union, military service is his love for the country and loyalty to the party.

In the world, he is an anti-fascist hero and a general with both wisdom and courage.

But it was this marshal who witnessed the strength and disintegration of the Soviet Union.

The hectic life of the military horse ushered in the last time in the treacherous political waves.

In the interview, Yazov evaluated Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Putin respectively.

Why should the interview be made public after his death? What is the meaning behind this?

1923 65438+ 10, Yazov was born in Yazov village, omsk region.

The poor family and the early death of his father made this child as young as 1 1 learn to take responsibility and work hard.

194 1 year, at the age of 17, yazov resolutely joined the Soviet red army and began his 50-year career.

The smell of gunpowder is an evaluation of Yazov's archives.

During the Great Patriotic War, Yazov, the platoon leader of the 483rd Infantry Regiment, fought fiercely with the Germans in Volkhov near Leningrad. He defeated the enemy many times, but he suffered heavy losses because of his negligence.

Yazov was only 18 years old at that time. After a year in the army, he is like a veteran. After he was promoted to the platoon leader of the central defense, he began to sum up the war experience and led the whole platoon to train hard.

In repeated battles, he accumulated experience and eventually grew into an excellent military talent.

There were many very old soldiers in his platoon at that time. They called the young platoon leader a "lad".

But this is not contempt, but respect and love. Excellent military talent, tenacious fighting spirit and strong leadership have made more and more soldiers call him "Comrade Captain".

"Brave in fighting and pioneering spirit" is the evaluation of the head of the regiment.

Even in his later years, President Putin praised him as "an outstanding military commander and frontline soldier with extraordinary courage and strength!"

Yazov's wisdom is not only reflected in his military talents, but also in his management talents.

At the end of 1942, after the promulgation of the new regulations on infantry operations, Yazov actively studied and used them flexibly.

He knows the importance of going online and offline, so he is strict with himself. Not only can he recite it backwards, but he can also take the initiative to ask to study in the General Staff Military Academy.

Meticulousness is his work attitude. In the face of the slack of the deputy head of the army's ideological education work, he even made severe criticism.

He also personally led soldiers in training, and even quoted Jack Lun's novel "Mexicans" to guide soldiers to establish correct concepts.

In the eyes of soldiers, Yazov is an officer with temperature.

Heating in winter must be guaranteed, the problem of military children going to school should be solved, and culture and entertainment should be increased. ...

These jobs look like "aunts", and Yazov enjoys them.

It is precisely because of his outstanding military ability and superb leadership that Gorbachev was appointed as the defense minister of the Soviet Union shortly after he took office.

The Soviet military was not surprised by this result, but because of this, Gorbachev, a veteran who devoted his life to loyalty and building the motherland, felt helpless:

We turned a blind eye to Gorbachev. ...

If conferring the rank of Marshal is an affirmation of Yazov's military talent and his contribution to the War of Resistance Against Japan, then the appointment of Gorbachev as the Soviet Defense Minister is the peak of Yazov's political career.

But he never imagined that he would witness the disintegration of the Soviet Union from this high position, but he could do nothing.

As a military power, army building has always been the core of Soviet national construction, but the backward economic level has seriously restricted the development of the Soviet Union, which is a fact.

From 65438 to 0985, Gorbachev put forward at the plenary session of the Central Committee of CPSU in April that "by making use of the achievements of the scientific and technological revolution, and by making the socialist economic management form conform to the contemporary environment and requirements".

As a result, the Soviet military set off a huge wave of reform.

There are two different attitudes towards Gorbachev's military reform in the Soviet Union.

One thinks that economic development has nothing to do with the army, and the other thinks that although it increases the burden on soldiers, it also helps to improve the equipment and efficiency of the army.

After the plenary session in April, military party organizations began to strengthen their own construction.

However, a month later, Marshal Sorokin, the first deputy director of the General Political Department of Lu Haijun, said that the military and political organs did not respond to the spirit of the April plenary session.

The army changed into a farce with much thunder and little rain.

To this end, Gorbachev believes that "what we need now is an energetic leader who can command and communicate, and a person who shows a sense of competition and initiative in his work."

Thus,1On May 30th, 987, faced with a German plane that suddenly landed in the Kremlin, Yazov, then 63, was appointed as the new defense minister of the Soviet Union.

1978, Yazov published an article on the quality of commanders in Red Star.

Since then, he has also published articles on military reform and military training.

In the article, he said without scruple that military discipline corruption is the dereliction of duty of the Communist Youth League.

It also mentioned the need to maintain close relations with soldiers and the masses and to make commanders fully responsible for the troops, which obviously coincides with the spirit of the April plenary session.

Surprisingly, Yazov is a supporter of reform.

Just as he attached importance to the training and spiritual needs of soldiers in combat exercises, Yazov's leadership and political foresight, as well as his accumulated military talents over the years, made him keenly aware that the Soviet Union must carry out reforms.

Not only that, the military high-level officials also realized the necessity of military modernization, so they no longer strongly resisted the reform of economic system and the weakening of the military.

But this is a good situation, and both the military and political circles are looking forward to reducing the glitz of the army and improving the overall efficiency of the army.

But I never imagined that this actually started the clock of the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Unlike Brezhnev, Gorbachev's dependence on the army was obviously greatly weakened.

He even thinks that nuclear weapons are very dangerous, and the Sino-Jordanian Coalition forces no longer need to be strengthened.

All these changes in attitude may be inextricably linked to his meeting with Mrs. Thatcher.

When asked if Gorbachev had any connection with special western organs, Yazov made it clear that, as far as he knew, both Jakovleff and KGB general Oleg Kaluzin had studied in the United States and were recruited as fifth column thinkers, and the transformation of Gorbachev was intrinsically related to Yakov.

Yazov thinks Gorbachev has been "worked".

Then Gorbachev tried to destroy nuclear weapons in exchange for American trust.

When asked about Gorbachev's political reform, Yazov said:

It can be seen that although Yazov agrees with the military reform, he does not agree with Gorbachev's reform strategy.

He believes that this not only harms the interests of the Republic, "our country is becoming' puffy'".

With the advancement of Gorbachev's military reform, the military strength of the Soviet Union was weakened again and again, which eventually led to the emergence of rebel forces in the Soviet Union and accelerated the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Yazov said in an interview with the media: "We turn a blind eye to Gorbachev ..."

"Our country is very complex, with many nationalities, a huge army and a vast territory. He has no ability to lead such a country. "

As the leader of a military power, Gorbachev has the ambition of a powerful country, but he has no ability to realize this ambition. It was Gorbachev and his cronies who pushed the Soviet Union to ruin bit by bit.

Yazov doesn't like Yeltsin. In Yazov's view, a person in power who loves power and wealth cannot bring happiness to the Russian people.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev stepped down.

Yeltsin, like a "speculator", successfully entered the Kremlin in the chaos.

Gorbachev is Yazov's "Bole", and he has also kindly supported Yeltsin, brought him to Moscow and appointed him as the party secretary of Moscow.

This undoubtedly provided a broad platform for Yeltsin's political ambition to show his strength.

It was also because of the reform that Yeltsin and Gorbachev broke completely at 1987.

But a second ago, they were managers in Moscow. After the disintegration, Yeltsin was unkind to his former chief executive and "Bole" in his official career.

He forcibly took over the Kremlin without even giving him a chance to clean up his office.

In order to restore Russia's economy as soon as possible and make up for the trauma caused by disintegration, Yeltsin adopted Gaidar's opinion and started "shock therapy" aimed at letting every Russian own stocks, villas and cars.

But the fact further aggravated the collapse of the Russian economy.

Under the "shock therapy", some capable people quickly mastered more resources, privatization sprouted and grew rapidly, wealth gathered, the gap between the rich and the poor widened, and oligarchs competed to be born.

People are getting poorer and poorer, and their lives are miserable. When voting in Russia 1996, only 3% of people supported Yeltsin.

As Yazov commented on Yeltsin, Yeltsin, who loved power and wealth, not only made the former Soviet Union, which was originally a socialist country, ferment rapidly after disintegration and expand into a capitalist country.

Yeltsin became the umbrella of oligarchs, and ensured the interests of oligarchs and western countries with his presidency.

There is no denying that Yeltsin has a keen sense of power.

He is like an ambitious wolf, constantly accumulating his own experience and hiding his ambitions. Once the time is right, he will leap onto the platform of wealth and power.

Yazov evaluated him as an "unscrupulous careerist" who sacrificed the happiness of the Russian people for his own selfish desires.

On the occasion of his 90th birthday, Yazov received deep sympathy and care from Russian President Vladimir Putin, and was awarded the Alexander Nevsky Medal, which represents the highest honor of military personnel.

This is not only an affirmation and praise of Yazov's military contribution, but also an affirmation of his contribution to the country and the people.

In 2020, after Yazov's death, Putin also sent a message of condolences, praising Yazov's extraordinary courage and strength.

This is Yazov's evaluation of Putin. It can be seen that Yazov liked the Russian president at that time very much.

He has the heart and ability to become a powerful country.

He loves Russia and the people of this land. Yazov appreciates his tenacity and is pleased with his efforts in national defense construction.

As soon as Putin came to power, he personally flew the Su -27 over the Chechen war zone, which solved the Chechen problem cleanly.

On the front line, Putin ordered that "where there are rebels, they will be resolutely destroyed", and what's more, he adopted the tactics of air force cooperating with airborne special forces to suppress them with strong firepower and won the second Chechen war.

This is a classic blitzkrieg with less to win more.

Perhaps many people don't know that learning from China was Yazov's advice to Putin.

199 1 on may 3, 2008, yazov, then the defense minister of the Soviet union, came to China on invitation and started a four-day friend visit.

This was the first visit to China by the Soviet Defense Minister, and the friendship between Yazov and China became attached.

Facing the development of China, Yazov lamented the correctness of the nationalization of natural resources, and thought it was a sharp weapon against oligarchs, so he proposed to Putin to take the road of China.

199965438+February 3 1, on the eve of the Millennium, Yeltsin suddenly announced his initiative to step down.

At that time, Putin served as a guard of Russia, and the following year he officially became the president of the Russian Federation, which also opened the iron fist political career of Putin the Great.

Dramatic reforms quickly cut off the ulcers and cancer during Yeltsin's reign and thoroughly combed Russia's political and economic environment at home and abroad.

As a result, as we can see now, Russia is building better and better under the leadership of Putin.

Such domineering remarks made terrorists feel scared as soon as they heard Putin's name.

With the gradual stabilization of the domestic environment, Russia's national defense construction began to be put on the agenda.

As a military power, it is also a powerful country that can compete with the United States in armaments. Putin realized that Russia's national defense construction is the key to ensure and stabilize Russia's international status. Only by building a professional elite force, applying nuclear power to the extreme, can we keep up with the pace of the United States in the fifth-generation machine technology.

Only in this way can we be in an invincible position in the struggle with the western countries with the United States as the core and maintain the precarious international balance.

In the face of oligarchs, Putin is even more merciless.

Yeltsin's choice of Putin as his successor was actually recognized by oligarchs, especially berezovsky.

He mistakenly believes that "Putin is a puppet that Yeltsin can obey, so he can safely carry such a' soft persimmon' as president."

However, World War I in Chechnya made oligarchs on pins and needles, and berezovsky even made unreasonable demands to get involved in politics.

In this regard, Putin said that you can continue to make money, but don't touch politics; You are rich now, but the government is poor.

It is suggested that berezovsky should be a good man and a good businessman who pays taxes according to law.

On August 12, 2000, the explosion of the nuclear submarine Kurcos made berezovsky think it was a good opportunity to step on Putin.

Because Putin rejected all aid from the United States, the Netherlands and Germany.

He knows very well that these capitalist countries hide needles in cotton.

Berezovsky was smart enough to criticize Putin's incompetence by donating money to the families of the victims, but this move became a sharp weapon for Putin to fight back.

The phrase "Where did you get the money?" It not only exposed berezovsky's lies, but also exposed his luxurious life and ignited the burning anger of the Russian people.

Berezovsky, desperate, even threatened that he had a certain relationship with Chechen separatist forces, and if the Russian government wanted to sanction himself, he would subsidize Chechen separatist forces.

This self-destructive practice pushed the whole Russia to the opposite of berezovsky, which eventually led to its destruction.

Putin's wisdom, courage, courage and fearlessness made Russia gradually get rid of the quagmire made by history and truly step into the road of building and developing a powerful country.

It can be seen that Yazov's praise as a "great strategist" is well deserved.
