SOVIET POLITBURO Survivor - GORBACHEV is a survivor

[Edu]

Hans hasn't been around in 4 days, hope nothing bad happened to him.

Maybe you should wait one more day just in case and then update it, but if you want to do it now i have no problems with it, we can always delay the next round a bit if Hans still hasn't appeared

[big bad fab]

Even if Hans hasn't voted, Gromyko is eventually out ! And with Grechko ! They were really tied since the beginning.
Andreyev, a real bad one even though not very well-known, very loyal to Stalin, is also eliminated.
Zaykov, who was wrongly thought in 1986 to be an anti-Ligachev for Gorbachev and to be an efficient manager and who disappointed everybody, disappears without greatness.

Malenkov, Preobrazhenskiy and Molotov are saved but after ties.

Beware !

[big bad fab]

With Hans not reporting, I slow things down a bit: we'll purge only 3 this round and 2 during next round.

bolsheviks:
eliminate PREOBRAZHENSKIY

open bolsheviks:
eliminate TUKHACHEVSKIY

stalinists:
eliminate MOLOTOV
eliminate DZERZHINSKIY

open stalinists:
eliminate MALENKOV

brezhnevians:
keep SUSLOV
(I love the clever evils )

modern conservatives:
eliminate KOSYGIN
keep LUKYANOV
(Lukyanov is the most interesting in this group: a sort of Andropovian hidden in a grey brezhnevian career, then an essential administrator for Gorbachev, then a half-supporter of the 1991 coup-plotters. And what I also know is that Raïssa Gorbacheva and Mrs Lukyanova hated each other Kremlinology is a serious matter )

khrushchevians:
keep SHEVARDNADZE
(hope I won't regret not to have tried to save another guy... )

[big bad fab]

I already regret my vote for Malenkov, who could have been someone but who tried too much to please everyone and, each time he chose (which was pretty rare), chose the bad side... An interesting guy !
I should have voted for Voroshilov...

3 clear winners here, with unanimous vote for them. Some bad guys seem to be pretty resilient and that's a good thing (Dzerzhinskiy, Molotov, Zhdanov, Suslov). No "pure" stalinist has been eliminated ! And 2 brezhnevians have received "keep" votes, though none has received a negative vote !

For the last time, we are going to purge more than one Politburo member. I hope the present rule isn't too harsh... As I define them in advance, they may have weird effects sometimes, when they occur... That's part of the fun !

Sorry for my absence. I had problems withe my PC and it must be repaired.

[big bad fab]

You're back just to vote for 4 of my favourites ?!? Damn !?!

Well, I must acknowledge I've got many favourites... But Suslov, Gorby and Kulakov, no, you can't oust them ! Argh !

Feliks DZERZHINSKIY
Andrey ZHDANOV

[big bad fab]

Wow, it has been really hot between Zhdanov and Molotov... A margin of 0.12... I'm not sure my system of counting will attract many other forumers here

Anyway, the big news is that Dzerzhinskiy is out, along with Zhdanov.
I really regret not to have piled on Molotov earlier as he is still here. One of my future aims, with a former favourite (), Ordzhonikidze.

Glad to see Hans among us again.

[big bad fab]

It wasn't really safe to be Stalin's big "friend"...

Sergo is typically those members of the first generation who were killed by Stalin in order to give way for another generation, very loyal to Uncle Iossif.
Mao was even better than Stalin at these successive "promotions" of new generations that you purge before they replace you...

[big bad fab]

Well, Edu is specialized in ousting a man with one last vote...
This time, I'm pleased as a second-tier guy is ousted and as my (too many) remaining favourites are safe.
Difficult to say who was the more "rightist" between Rykov and Tomskiy. Tomskiy was probably more of a "servant" than Rykov.

[big bad fab]

The simplest rule... but next round you'll have a big surprise

Molotov !

Have you noticed how Kuybyshev has disappeared from the result table ? And how Ligachev has avoided any negative vote for the moment ? Voroshilov and Andropov are also doing very well...
