SOVIET POLITBURO Survivor - GORBACHEV is a survivor

[big bad fab]

Grishin was, surprisingly, the rival of Gorbachev in 1985. But, with Ustinov dead in December 1984 and with Gromyko (and probably Shcherbitsky) switching sides, Grishin lost even before a formal vote: he was only supported by Tikhonov and Kunayev.

But it's fascinating to imagine an old Grishin becoming Nr.1 in 1985 ! All the more after Chernenko.

Anyway, my vote:

5 Molotov
4 Lenin
1 Tukhachevsky

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 20 IS OPEN !

Beware !In this round, you have 2 points, to cast among 2 different Politburo members, either to eliminate or to keep.
The Politburo member who receive the biggest total of points will be eliminated.
Beware !

[big bad fab]

And Molotov is still here...

And my heart is bleeding now: Beriya out, Lenin in (this stupid bring back rule... ), Molotov resilient, Tukhachevskiy here for some time, even Gorbachev threatened...
All is going wrong for me: I'm unable to manoeuver and get the votes: I would have lost all my plots in a real Politburo ( ).

I guess my current nostalgic feeling in this survivor is pretty normal, refering to Soviet and Russian matters...


In case the rule isn't clear (I mean, my language isn't clear):
you vote to eliminate X and eliminate Y,
or to eliminate X and keep Y,
or to keep X and keep Y.

That can be interesting: I wanted to test it.

As for me:

Eliminate MOLOTOV
Eliminate LENIN

Often, a Saviour is disappointing (especially human saviours ! )...

I thought we could oust Lenin...

Anyway, let's begin with

Tukhachevskiy


Ligachev is out and with him someone who never had really bad relations with Gorbachev. Gorbachev used him as a conservative almost-alter ego, to be able to appear as always the most reformist.

And Ligachev was a "clever" conservative. He didn't take part in the stupid 1991 putsch.
He was just an old andropovian: real communist, ideologically harsh, economically reformist, pragmatic when needed.
Another interesting figure of the 1980s-1990s.

He deserved to go but I'm happy he lasted a bit more than expected (more than Yeltsin, his arch-enemy ! shame on you, guys !).

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 25 IS OPEN !

Beware !In this round, you have 3 points to cast 2-1 only among the following Politburo members: Kirov, Kulakov, Lenin, Lukyanov, Rykov, Ryzhkov.
The Politburo member who receive the biggest total of points will be eliminated.
Beware !

[big bad fab]

Kuybyshev lasted very long, considering he received votes in round 1 !
But, though he was a bit more intellectual than other stalinists and sided sometimes with Kirov, he was Gosplan leader and had no real remorse.
He died of a "heart attack"... that was the interesting part in his life
(remember Kirov ? remember Ordzhonikidze ?)

Now, I'm in a bad shape...
Really, I shouldn't have put this stupid bring back rule...
Lenin doesn't deserve to stay any longer. Please purge him !
He is a great historical figure, but NOT a great kremlinological one: he was straight when he wanted to purge someone; he didn't last long enough to have all the fascinating maneuverings of Stalin; he made big mistakes with Stalin and Molotov; he was fond of Dzerzhinskiy, but wasn't Dzerzhinskiy himself.

With Beria, Shelepin, Suslov, Romanov, Kirilenko out, many of those who played in the darkness and were, at least once, spoken of as future Nr.1 have been purged.
We must keep some real interesting ones in the last ten.
Please, my friends !
You can't oust Kulakov, Lukyanov, Kirov ! All those broken destinies !

Anyway, my vote is, unsurprinsingly:
