On June 11, 1937, Soviet famous Tukhachevsky was killed
On this day, 88 years ago, on June 11, 1937 (May 3, 1937, the Soviet famous Tukhachevsky was killed. Tukhachevsky was born on February 16, 1893 to an aristocratic family at the Alesandrovsky Estate in Dorogobrz County, Smolensk Province. Tukhachevsky's father, Nikolai Nikolayevich, broke the traditional customs of feudal aristocratic families and married his impoverished daughter, Mavra Petrovna, who worked on his family's estate. After Tukhachevsky moved to Moscow, he began to enter a ten-year school and read in sixth grade. Because of his enthusiasm for the military, he went against his father's wishes to study liberal arts and transferred from general secondary school to the first military school of Catherine in Moscow. He received a strict primary military education here and graduated from the school with first prize. Tukhachevsky underwent two years of extremely strict military training at the Alexander Military Academy, and graduated from the school with honors in 1914 and was awarded the rank of lieutenant. After graduating from military school, he was assigned to the reserve battalion of the Semenov Regiment of the Petrograd Guards. Soon after, Tukhachevsky was sent to the front line of World War I, where he won six awards for fighting bravely. On February 19, 1915, the Semenov Regiment was attacked by strong German artillery fire. Tukhachevsky's Seventh Company was all wiped out. He and his members were captured. After the victory of the October Revolution in 1917, faced with the choice between revolution and counter-revolution, he resolutely chose the path of revolution. His choice has a long ideological foundation. As early as after the February Revolution, in the German concentration camp at Ingal Castle, they saw a leaflet written by Lenin to his captured comrades in suffering. The Czech White Bandits, with the support of imperialism and domestic counter-revolutionaries, launched a rebellion in the middle reaches of the Volga River. At that time, Lenin pointedly pointed out: "The victory or defeat of the Eastern Front will determine the fate of the revolution." At this critical juncture, Lenin sent Tukhachevsky to the headquarters of the First Revolutionary Group Army on the Eastern Front on June 27, 1918. Under extremely difficult and difficult conditions, he shouldered the important task of forming and supporting a regular revolutionary army. With the help and influence of Political Commissar Kuibyshev, Tukhachevsky, who was only twenty-five years old, successfully completed the task of forming an army and destroying the enemy. At the end of August 1918, Lenin was stabbed by the enemy. At this time, Tukhachevsky was leading the First Army to fight in Lenin's hometown of Simbirsk. In order to avenge their revenge, Tukhachevsky and the Red Army soldiers captured Simbirsk, which was heavily guarded by the enemy, in one fell swoop. Lenin, who was recuperating, learned of the good news from the Eastern Front and happily said in a reply: "The recovery of my hometown of Simbirsk is the most effective and best bandage for dressing my wounds. I suddenly felt in excellent spirits and suddenly increased in strength. I congratulated the Red Army soldiers on their victory and expressed my gratitude for all the sacrifices they had made on behalf of all the workers. Due to Tukhachevsky's outstanding military exploits on the Eastern Front, in January 1919, the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic appointed him as deputy commander of the Southern Front Army and commander of the Eighth Army. Tukhachevsky personally visited the front line and effectively organized a counterattack. With the cooperation of the Ninth and Tenth Armies, he completely wiped out Kronsnov's Cossack and White Bandits Army. In order to coordinate the attack of foreign interveners and white bandits on the southern front, the Kolchak bandits launched a new offensive on the eastern front in March 1919, putting the eastern front in emergency again. Tukhachevsky was transferred to the Eastern Front on March 24, 1919, due to his experience fighting along the Volga River. On April 5, he was appointed commander of the Fifth Army, which had fought the most with Kolchak. On April 10, the Red Army on the eastern front redeployed. Tukhachevsky's Fifth Army was assigned to the Southern Group led by Frunze. Under the leadership of Tukhachevsky, the Fifth Army crossed the Urals and captured Cheryabinsk after tenacious fighting. In January 1920, Rostov and Novocherkask were occupied by the Denikin White Bandits, putting the Caucasus front in dire straits. Due to Lenin's focus on the Southern Front, Tukhachevsky was appointed commander of the Caucasus Front. At this time, Tukhachevsky already had rich combat experience in defeating the Czech White Army, the White Guard and the Kolchak army. The careful and scientific battle plan he formulated to attack Denikin once again demonstrated his military talent. In February, the Red Army on the Caucasus Front turned into a counterattack against the Denikin gangs. At the end of March, Tukhachevsky led his troops to completely annihilate Denikin's main force that had fled into the North Caucasus. In March 1921, the Kronstadt Rebellion broke out. In order to quickly quell the rebellion, Lenin selected Tukhachevsky as commander-in-chief. From March 17 to 19, the rebellion was quelled in just over fifty hours. After the end of the Civil War, Tukhachevsky held many important positions in the Soviet army: Dean of the Military Academy of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army (1921), and then commander of the Western Front Army (January 1922-April 1924), Deputy Chief of Staff and Chief of Staff of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army (July 1924-May 1928), Commander of the Leningrad Military Region (May 1928-June 1931), Deputy People's Commissar of the People's Commissar of the Army and Navy and Vice Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Commission, concurrently serving as Minister of the Equipment Department of the Workers and Peasants 'Red Army (1931), Deputy People's Commissar of National Defense (1934), First Deputy People's Commissar of National Defense and Minister of Military Training (1936). In the above-mentioned appointment, Tukhachevsky made outstanding contributions, was recognized by the party and the country, and won the respect of the people. In 1933, he was awarded the Order of Lenin, the highest award of the Soviet people. At the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (Bolshevik) held in 1934, he was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee. In 1935, he was awarded the rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union among the first batch of four senior generals, Voloshilov, Egorov and Blyuher. Tukhachevsky is a far-sighted, brilliant military activist and military theorist. He has superb research on Marxism-Leninism theory. He has a long history of combat, hundreds of battles, and has rich military practical experience. He organically and creatively combined theory and practice. In his short 16 years, he has published more than 120 books on military theory. He made outstanding contributions to the construction of socialist military doctrine in the Soviet Union. He proposed a series of practical principles, policies and specific measures for the Soviet military construction, and put forward clear scientific predictions of the nature, scale and characteristics of future wars. He also early saw the inevitability of German fascism launching a world war and proposed measures for the Soviet Union to deal with a German surprise attack. Later, the practice of the Great Patriotic War proved that Tukhachevsky's theories, propositions, and measures were all in line with reality. Due to persecution by the wrong line, in June 1937, Tukhachevsky was charged with "espionage and treason." Due to Tukhachevsky's involvement, in addition to relatives, eight other people, including the commander of the military region, the president of the military academy, the commander of the military academy, and the deputy people's councilor of the national defense, were also brutally killed.
