SOVIET POLITBURO Survivor - GORBACHEV is a survivor

[big bad fab]

You know all the "stations" (I don't know the word in English) of Christ's Passion ?
Sorry, my Lord, for this stupid comparison, especially with a Soviet survivor !
But almost each round is bad...
I guess Lukyanov will follow...

How did you dare to eliminate Kirov when you have still a Shelest

Well, how can I vote for anyone else than Lenin now ?

Ok mate, i don't want to see you suffering any more

Rules are different in each round: please read the rules before voting.
The Politburo member who receives the biggest total of votes or points is purged.
In case of a tie, the Politburo member who has received the biggest total of previous votes is purged.
In case of a new tie, I, GenSek of this survivor, decide who is purged.

ROUND 29 IS OPEN !

Beware !In this round, you vote to eliminate 2 different Politburo members.
The Politburo member who receive the biggest total of points will be eliminated.
Beware !

[big bad fab]

Thank you, my friends, you've heard my plea !
Well, REALLY, now, no more bring back rule !!

I vote for

SHELEST (a miracle for him to be here at this stage !)

SHEVARDNADZE (I like him and he did a lot for German reunification and real détente with the United States, and he had a troubled and interesting past in Georgia, both patriotic and policing, but, well, we need to choose now...)

BTW, I have no precise idea of my favourite one, as I like them all.
And with Beria, Shelepin, Suslov, Kirov, Kirilenko, Romanov out, how can I do ?
Maybe Shelepin was my real favourite (even if Kirov and Kirilenko are also high)...

[Hans-im-Glück]

Pyotr SHELEST
Fyodor KULAKOV

fab I said it that it is a bad idea to make a bring back round . My mind told me to eliminate Lenin, but my humorous side want to see a him as winner .

A fine photograph of Lukyanov, seeming outraged by Yeltsin and siding with Gorbachev, with Gorby trying to appear above all those things...
Wonderful times
Lukyanov was a modernist among brezhnevians, but not an andropovian.
Then, he managed to appear as an unavoidable man for Gorbachev. Before plotting against him.
He was another favourite for me... But you are entitled to say that I have so many favourites...

For this round:

2 to Andropov
2 to Shevardnadze
1 to Yakovlev (very reluctantly, of course, but you've understood my "game" here...)
