About Novocherkassk.
the summer of 1962 at a large factory locomotives, ten kilometers from the city, workers have lowered prices by about 30% and simultaneously increased the state prices for meat, milk and eggs. ... Quite was bad for workers with housing, barracks, crowded communal apartments, but this is all over the country.
workers went on strike.
Authorities answered.
a factory worker in the village, troops entered the city and all roads leading to the scene, blocked off by troops. Arrests began with the beating of prisoners. "Kalashnikovs" long silence. A factory siren droned without a break, calling for a general strike. Ceased to operate other plants Novocherkassk.
In the west, popular discourse on Russian natural humility, their fatal love for the cult of power. But try to be right in front of tanks: in some direction you go, or flee? Under the tanks, or away from them? Working Novocherkassk went through the tank barrier .... All residents took to the streets, children were and hung on the roofs and trees. When the demonstrators broke through the cordon, seized the city party committee and the police, was ordered to shoot.
soldiers beat machine guns on the roofs, trees, a dense crowd at the tanks, plastered with the workers, and stopped peepholes shirts.
Tankers were not shot. Now we know that their commander, Lt. Gen. Matthew Kuzmich Shaposhnikov ordered not to shoot. He was dismissed from the army.
Overnight firefighters washed blood from the streets of the city. Bodies of those killed and seriously injured machines and buried outside the city in the ravines ...
Unrest continued another month. Two or three members of the Politburo, including Mikoyan, arrived from Moscow, threatened administrative expulsion of all without exception residents of Novocherkassk.
was tried and convicted more than a hundred workers, seven were sentenced to death ...
P. S
Yuri Orlov arrived in Samara. Sat with us in the OPC, the Ventseka, 38. If then I read his book .. It was hard to believe that this frail and seemingly quiet man, an academic scientist had such power of resistance to crime, and in general, incompetent, then ruler of the empire "called the Soviet Union ...
do not know why I reread Book ...
