Zhdanov’s biography briefly

Zhdanov’s career was dizzying even by the standards of Stalin's time, when unexpected ups and falls were not rare. His death had no less consequences than life. The questions of the hasty autopsy, which for some reason were made in the bathroom. The situation with the treatment is not fulfilled to the end - the leading Kremlin doctors, the largest experts who did not determine the signs of the patient’s heart attack and recommended walks and “moderate physical exertion” - this is after two a history of heart attacks.

A strange story with a letter to L. Timashuk, a doctor responsible for electrocardiography, who signaled the protection of an incorrect diagnosis. This letter was reported to Stalin and, at his direction, for some reason went to the archive for four years, until the moment when it became a wick for the “doctors” exploding bomb. This is only a few of the unexpressed riddles of death A.

He has gone from the army agitator to a member of the Politburo with the powers of the main ideologist of the party. Despite the fact that sometimes Stalin sharply criticized Zhdanov, Andrei Alexandrovich, until his death, retained his place in the "close circle of associates." What is the reason for such a successful and long political existence? Zhdanov with his father and sisters.

Our hero was born in childhood and youth on February 14, February 14, his three sisters were a little older. Subsequently, Zhdanov preferred not to particularly spread about his “roots”, in September G. Grandfather from his father’s side Pop 2. Father - Privat -Docent, inspector of people's schools 3.

Mother - daughter of the professor 1. Women in the family formed the character of Andrei. Subsequently, in his own family circle, he was under the influence of the imperious wife. The grandfather’s professional was "in" At the same time, the childhood of Andrei passed with a relationship with almost all the sacred synod, and his youth was in need, his father Alexander Alekseevich did not ask for help.

The children received a wonderful home education: Andryushi had absolute musical hearing and brilliant musical memory. The family lost the breadwinner. The issue of pensions was decided only six months later. Zhdanova E. Pokrovsky, but they draw the boy poorly, but they draw the boy poorly, but they draw the boy. A neatly dressed in a cheap, black color suit with a tie, which has such amazing mathematical abilities that "chronic lack of money made a university with minimal training for training - the Moscow Agricultural Institute.

For this reason, it was not possible to get higher education. In mid -February, the ensign Zhdanov dressed casually: "He was not busy." After the February Revolution in Shadrinsk, the Iset newspaper began to publish, in which Zhdanov occasionally published his articles. Its life was simple: a table with books, two or three stools, a simple iron bed, a guitar on the wall, several cards4.

Warrant Officer Zhdanov with his wife. The rapid take -off to the authorities in the hostilities of both the First World War and the Civil War did not take part. His activity, however, spilled out much further: Comrade. Zhdanov was instructed to "build" the political worker. He creates an organic bureau, and then on his base - the political department at the provincial of the RCP B "to combine all political work in the province," he widely uses the press - only in the August years of Tver Pravda - six of his performances.

In November of the aforementioned year, we read in the Autobiography of Zhdanov, elected a member of the provincial committee, “head of the promotion of the Provincial Committee, departments of cooperation, trade unions, from the year - a member of the Bureau of the Provincial Committee, replace the secretary, editing the party body, etc. The characteristic emphasizing the talent of our hero is very indicative.

Recall that in the city may be the head of a party or Soviet organization, not without success. Developed well. The party “5. The charm and“ good development ”can be included in power, but it is impossible to stay in it for so many years. Only practical and significant results were recognized in Moscow. And they were, therefore, Zhdanov from G. at that time, at that time, the most important economic indicators of the Nizhny Novgorod work, as a rule, turned out to be higher than the average in the USSR.

Zhdanov summed up the results: the Nizhny Novgorod car was built in the city of Nizhny Novgorod - The country's largest enterprise even stated that from the point of view of the quality of the equipment, the most advanced enterprise around the world, the performance of which he appreciated in thousand. As before, his life was modest, despite the high position, the decision on the entry of Zhdanov into the ranks of the higher leaders of the party.

The leader needed a man who could fulfill his instructions in the leadership of an ideological sphere. It was Stalin and Kirov, in all likelihood, that Zhdanov introduced to the course of business during a joint vacation in the south in the summer of the same year. Zhdanov, by age, he was 17 years younger than Stalin and 10 - Kirov, and by the lack of experience in pre -revolutionary work and the civil war from the very beginning, under the full influence of Stalin, who owed his rapid elevation.Perhaps Stalin saw in the Zhdanov not in words, but in fact, a performer who was capable of ideological work and at the same time not only deprived of any power ambitions, but sincerely, who was personally worshiped in his soul.

The cover of the magazine "Time" with a portrait of Zhdanov. At the head of Leningrad, after the murder of Kirov, in December, G. Zhdanov, simultaneously with work in the Central Committee, headed the Leningrad Partyard. He fulfilled the numerous duties of the Central Committee Secretary in Moscow, and on April 20, the Politburo adopted a resolution: "obligate t.

Zhdanova from three ten days of the month to spend one ten days in Moscow for work in the Secretariat of the Central Committee "8. During the Great Terror, Zhdanov dedicated the leadership decisions, but did not show his own initiative in punitive affairs. Like all the closest associates of Stalin, signed execution lists, led Leningrad cleaning, conducted repression in the Orenburg region and The Komsomol’s “enemy leadership” was smashed by the “enemy leadership” - but they did not stand out in the same year: in the same year, the second world war began, which could not but affect the activities of propaganda and agitation.

to understand how much our hero was loaded. Physical education and sport, painting, sculpture, literature, museums, libraries, literature, art, party education and much more. Ugarov and on the rostrum in Uritsky Square. Zhdanov, interrupting his vacation, urgently left for Moscow. Two days later, in the evening of June 24, he was accepted by Stalin. Apparently, then it was decided that Zhdanov should go to Leningrad.

The beginning of the war was not too successful for him. In a critical situation of the end of August, G. Zhdanov, along with K. Voroshilov, decided to repeat the experience of the defense of Petrograd from the Civil War, independently creating the City Council of the city and workers' battalions, whose commanders were to be selected by fighters. Stalin sharply reacted to their initiatives, saying: “You simply unorganized people and do not feel responsibility for your actions in the future, Stalin several times pronounced Zhdanov for passivity.

During the Leningrad blockade, Zhdanov was a kind of connecting link between the city, the front and the central leadership in Moscow. Its qualities as softness and some timidity are often, often, often They led to the fact that he tried to outline the situation in the city and at the front in more optimistic colors than it was in reality. Almost constantly being in his office, he met for the most part with a narrow circle of closest assistants and military leaders.

It was his style - the leader should have been invisible. He almost did not participate in the daily work of the city party committee and the Leningrad Executive Committee. In June, Stalin considered the possibility of transferring Zhdanov from Leningrad to the post of head of the Political Administration of the Red Army instead of A. before the end of the war, Zhdanov was appointed head of the Union Control Commission in Finland.

This post cannot be considered either as an increase or as a sign of special trust of the leader. Similar positions in other countries were held by military leaders, and by no means the first echelon. The position clearly did not correspond to the status of a member of the Politburo. The Moscow final is not known how Zhdanov’s career would have developed if at the end of G. Stalin did not need a faithful person who was free from the interweaving of mutual interests that had developed among the leader’s circle during the war.

Many consider Zhdanov the leader of a certain "Leningrad group", which united, in their opinion, immigrants from this city. This is extremely unlikely, since Zhdanov, in its qualities, was least suitable for the role of a leader, and the existence of any formed “group” near the painfully suspicious Stalin was simply impossible. It is not known a single personal initiative of Zhdanov in the post -war period.

For many years, Stalin used Zhdanov as an adviser and a diligent artist. Even the death of Zhdanov from the heart attack in the city
