Eliminate Suslov.

I'm really sorry for neglecting survivors recently

Eliminate Suslov.

WOT ! And you come back only to try to kill Suslov ?!?
My Godness, I almost feel like refusing to count your vote !

And you weren't here to save Kirilenko or Shelepin, or to kill Tukhachevskiy :5

But if you're back for good, well, it opens some interesting perspective in this survivor (or so I hope, even if I have some doubts on the most recent names.... )

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 14 IS OPEN !

Beware !In this round, you vote to BRING BACK 2 Politburo members.
You have 11 points to cast 5-3-2-1.
The 2 Politburo members who receive the biggest total of points will be brought back, though with a handicap of one point per round in which they didn't take part in.
Beware !

[big bad fab]

Well, another very bad round for me, after Beriya and Shelepin (I don't count Romanov, Ordzhonikidze and Kirilenko, because we can't have 10 or 12 winners, though I'd like to !)

Some say about Suslov "grey eminence", others "red eminence".
The final years, 1980-1982, must have been wonderful, when Brezhnev was terminally ill, when Suslov lost his real power and when Andropov won. Wow, even today, it's not very clear. Suslov wasn't the one who pushed Andropov. But he didn't want brezhnevians like Chernenko or Grishin or former "newer" brezhnevians like Kirilenko to win.
Suslov, first and foremost, ran for himself, I think, and for orthodoxy, of course. He was a Dzerzhinskiy of ideas, in a way .


BUT there is now a surprise: a bring back round !

We're going to rehabilitate 2 Politburo members previously purged...
Of course, I'm going to try to save my "lil' favourites", but it's very dangerous as some strong contenders may come back.

(In my 20th century history makers survivor, this type of rounds was hated by voters and I dropped them. But I want to try again and this survivor is exactly the right place to do it )

So:

5 for Shelepin
3 for Beriya
2 for Suslov
1 for Kozlov

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I thought something like this was coming , I'm mixed about the rule itself (if its okay with fab, I'd suggest that a larger number of names be eliminated next round to balance things out).

5 Dzerzhinskiy (We need more really bad guys, right now the only big-name one left is Molotov)
3 LENIN (eliminated to early)
2 BERIYA (in hindsight he was eliminated to early, though he shouldn't last to much longer if he is brought back )
1 BREZHNEV (why not?)
 

[Hans-im-Glück]

The last time you made a "bring-back-round" this wasn't very popular in the Survivor comunity

But when you want, this is my vote:

5   LENIN 
3   BREZHNEV
2   TROTSKIY
1   STALIN  (When you want bad guys, why not the worst of all )

[Edu]

5 for Lenin
3 for Suslov
2 for Beriya
1 for Brezhnev

He rises again.

Beware !

[big bad fab]

OK, tbh, I've planned another bring back round (in round 23).
Do you want me to drop it ?

I'm myself hesitating... Seeing Lenin back (but I knew it, I knew it, I knew it) doesn't make me very happy...
Of course, the next bring back round couldn't lead to Lenin or Beriya returning from the dead,if they are again eliminated before that stage.
But, still, tell me frankly what you think.

For this round,

Lenin
Molotov
Ponomarev

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I have no problem with the "bring back" rule being used again, but it should be used very, very rarely, imo

MOLOTOV

4 for MOLOTOV
3 for PONOMAREV
2 for LENIN
1 for VOROSHILOV

Molotov was very resilient, sure, but he really deserves to go, as he was "just" loyal to Stalin (in a very grey manner) and had some sort of image (and of knowledge...) that prevented him from being purged in 1953 or 1955.

And still no vote for Ligachev !
Nor many votes for Grishin !
Very surprising.
