In January 1948, Lieutenant General K.F. Telegin visited his homeland, the Rostov region. More and more often he felt a vague anxiety, it seemed that he was being watched, and he saw shadows following him. In Rostov he visited his front-line comrade, Lieutenant General Boyko; all evening they remembered the war, mutual acquaintances, and complained about the elimination of Zhukov and Rokossovsky. Konstantin Fedorovich slowly drank tea, spoke quietly, occasionally glancing at the leatherette-lined door, as if he was waiting for someone; he smoked a lot, going out into the corridor, stroking his shaved head. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, followed by a long bell. Smartly opened the door. Three people stood in front of him and decisively stepped into the corridor.
Telegin? - the elder approached Konstantin Fedorovich.
Me: What do you need?
You are under arrest. Follow us.
This is a misunderstanding. Is there an arrest warrant? - Telegin asked, still hoping that a tragic mistake had occurred and everything would work out.
The warrant will be presented later. Get dressed!
Telegin put on his overcoat and hat and said goodbye to his bewildered, hospitable hosts.
He was taken to Moscow under strict supervision: two guards, like idols, sat next to him, not taking their eyes off, not answering his questions, not removing their right hands from the deep pockets of their overcoats. “What happened? By what right did they seize you without presenting a warrant and put you in this dark prison on wheels, rattling at the joints of the rails? - Telegin asked himself, lifting the stiff collar of the general’s overcoat. - What charges can be brought against me? I am not a thief, not a murderer, not a robber. He honestly fulfilled his duty at the front from the beginning to the end of the war. Is it really because of this ill-fated order...” I remembered last year’s autumn, a trip to pick mushrooms and go fishing. He happily walked with his bag through the quiet forest, strewn with yellowed leaves, impatiently raking the mosses with a thorny stick, the soft leaf cover that had managed to cake, pushing apart the prickly branches of spruce trees, bushes, and tall strands of withered grass; He was delighted by the red-headed boletuses, and the sturdy white ones with brown caps, and the yellowish boletuses - the best mushrooms for pickling. Then, after being expelled from the party, a trip to the village helped him survive and survive, for he touched the mother earth, absorbing the smells of the forest, the blueness of the sky washed by the first autumn rains, and the heavenly calming silence of the village, undisturbed by anyone or anything.
Now, in the prison carriage, he was overcome by anxiety that gave him no rest day or night. “We dealt with Zhukov - it’s clear there,” Telegin reflected. - Stars and orders, glory and people's love - all this overshadowed the image of the father of all nations. But why do they need me? I am not applying for any positions. Is it really a repeat of the terrible thirty-seventh?..”
In Moscow, Lieutenant General Telegin, as a particularly dangerous criminal, was sent straight from the station to the internal prison of the Ministry of State Security. “Here, for sure,” thought Telegin, “they will sort it out.”
The “analysis” began immediately as soon as Konstantin Fedorovich crossed the threshold of the prison:
General, take off your trousers with stripes! - barked a guy in sergeant major's uniform.
Excuse me,” the delicate, former member of the military council of a group of forces, deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, tried to resist, “what will I wear?”
Over there in the corner, choose any riding breeches and tunic.
Telegin approached a pile of rags thrown on the floor and was horrified - dirty, torn uniforms, suitable, perhaps, for floor rags or as rags for wiping military equipment.
I am a general! I was not deprived of this title, and I refuse to put it on,” Telegin glanced sideways towards the pile of used uniforms.
What? - the foreman roared and with a strong blow knocked the lieutenant general off his feet, tore off his shoulder straps, pulled off his chrome boots, and tore off the side of his jacket.
An hour later, two more people entered the cell; Having brutally beaten the general, they twisted his arms, forcibly unclenched his jaws and with pliers tore out the gold crowns along with his teeth...
The beating lasted almost continuously: they beat at night, during the day, at dawn; investigators, executioners with half-pound fists, guards with empty, faded eyes and swollen faces changed, and only their victim, having lost track of the days, remained in a pool of blood, helpless, incapable of either physical resistance or common sense of what was happening; the victim was doused with cold water, dragged like a sack into a cell, thrown onto the cement floor, and some papers were shoved to his face...
Having failed to obtain confessions of a non-existent conspiracy, MGB investigators left the lieutenant general in solitary confinement for some time, allowed him to sleep at night, brought him food on time, and did not call him in for questioning. "What is it for? - Telegin thought. - Maybe they figured it out and changed their mind? After all, nothing like what the investigators talked about happened.”
A person lives almost his entire life in hopes, and if he is deprived of this feeling inherent in nature, then his mental balance is broken and a slow relaxation of the will and muscles begins.
Telegin, at his request, was waiting for a meeting with an MGB official and had high hopes for this communication, which, perhaps, would stop all these bullying, beatings, attempts to achieve a confession of something that did not happen, which he, Telegin, never did , and when he was told that there would be a meeting with the Minister of State Security Abakumov himself, he experienced a double feeling. The hope of liberation did not leave him, but a vague feeling of anxiety appeared...
The night before the meeting with the minister, he hardly slept - he mentally planned the upcoming conversation, prepared questions, and worked out answers to the minister’s expected clarifications.
He saw Abakumov from the threshold: he was sitting in a leather chair at a huge table under a portrait of Dzerzhinsky; Not far from the window, at a small table, there were investigators who had repeatedly beaten Telegin during interrogations...
Abakumov swore angrily, lit a cigarette, unbuttoned the hooks of his jacket collar, and slammed his palm on the table.
Let's agree: if you openly admit everything, you will make your fate easier. If you remain silent or refuse to testify, we are forced to use physical measures...
Abakumov hoped that Telegin would “break down” during the first interrogations, which is why he was in no hurry to meet with the general; it is important to come when the person is “ready” to say everything that the investigation needs, after which you can go to report to Lavrenty Pavlovich. Having encountered a stubborn reluctance to slander Zhukov, Abakumov became furious:
And no one will help you! We haven’t forgotten what you fucking did in 1941 when you called Comrade Stalin about German tanks! Alarmist, bitch! We all knew better than you, but we didn’t rush to Comrade Stalin like you, unfortunate sexot! I decided to curry favor with Comrade Stalin! It didn't work out! And don’t even think about complaining - the sanctions for your arrest were given from above. Got it?.. Generals, bitches, strategists x..! Now dance on the stone floor until they spank you all together!
“Now everything has fallen into place,” thought Telegin. - They need to deal with Zhukov and they need evidence. Beria and Abakumov don’t have them yet. But they need them, and they will stop at nothing to get them... Beria has not forgotten that call I made to Stalin, and now he is taking revenge.”
In the cell, Telegin sank helplessly to the floor - his legs could not support him, he closed his eyes and felt hot tears rolling down his cheeks...
In February 1948, Telegin was transferred to Lefortovo prison. Before the warden had time to close the door, investigators Sokolov and Samarin burst into the cell and, after several questions, took Telegin to the investigation room. And this time Telegin refused to incriminate Zhukov and other “conspirators,” provoking the wrath of investigators. Both of them pounced on the general, who could barely stand on his feet, and began beating him with rubber batons, trying to hit him in the lower back, knocking off his kidneys, causing bleeding - this was their tried-and-true technique...
On the third day, after the beating and torture, Telegin asked to see Abakumov.
It would have been like this a long time ago! - Beria, the assistant for bloody affairs, barked from the threshold, having learned that General Telegin had asked for a meeting. - You were given a good treatment, you were given some extra sanity. Here's the paper. Sit down and write.
“I ask you to stay in the cell alone,” Telegin turned to Abakumov.
Abakumov waved his hand - the investigators disappeared out the door. Telegin sat down at the table with difficulty, took the pen, and for a long time could not adapt to holding it. With fingers trembling from pain, he barely wrote: “To the Minister of State Security, Comrade Abakumov. I ask you to spare me from torture. I ask you to shoot me. Telegin." Having finished writing, Konstantin Fedorovich handed a sheet of paper to Abakumov. He glared at the uneven lines, jumped out of his chair and, swinging, hit Telegin in the face with all his might.
Look what you want, bitch! We still have time to shoot you! - Abakumov shouted. - But after you, the Siberian louse, sign everything we need!
“Shoot me right here, right in the cell, against the wall,” Telegin said barely audibly, barely parting his broken lips, pressing his back against the wall, feeling its coldness.
No, we won’t let you die standing! You will die like a mad dog in your own shit, in a bloody puddle! And not here, near Moscow, but in Kolyma! They will throw you into a garbage pit with the rats, so that at night the hungry wolves will devour you! This is the kind of death that awaits you! Don't expect an easy death, no! Hey! - the minister roared loudly, turning around, - come in! This bitch is in the punishment cell! Pour cold water on the floor - it's hot. Let it cool down!
After one of the interrogations, Lieutenant General Telegin was given protocols to sign. After reading them, Konstantin Fedorovich was indignant:
You distorted my testimony.
The investigators were not at a loss; looking impudently into the general's face, they answered:
We are not writers, but investigators. There was a conspiracy. We need facts, and we will find them with your help.
The investigation sent inquiries in all directions, trying to convict Telegin of a crime. In response to a request from Moscow about the “squandering of state property” from Siberia and the Omsk region, the prosecutor’s office reported: “To your No. 1/08975 dated March 9, 1948. On the issue of property sent from Germany to the Tatar City Council by Lieutenant General Telegin. Such property has arrived. All property has been used in city utilities since July 31, 1946. Prosecutor of Tatarsk, lawyer 2nd class Stepanov.”
What kind of property did General Telegin “squander”? - engine 420 l/s, alternating current generator Siemens - Schuckert with a power of 405 kilovolt-amperes, electric motors, crawler tractors, excavator, sawmill frame (two), pendulum saw, planing and jointing machine, brick and tile plant equipment...
The prosecutor's list is on several pages. It was not pianos, not carpets, not paintings by famous artists that Telegin sent to his fellow countrymen, who throughout the long war provided the front with bread, shells, and uniforms, but something without which the life of a modern town on a regional scale is impossible.
The son of Lieutenant General K.F. Telegin, Colonel Konstantin Telegin, acquainted the author with a document that most fully reflects the savage actions of prison officers who tried to “break” a physically and morally innocent person. This is a letter from Konstantin Fedorovich from prison to V. M. Molotov, who knew the general well.
But prisoner Telegin did not know that the Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Vyacheslav Molotov, was actually out of work at that time, carrying out one-time, insignificant orders from the leader. Soviet newspapers reported that Stalin was leaving for vacation, but Western journalists saw something else in this information: the leader’s poorly disguised illness. Western newspapers eagerly published journalists' versions that Molotov had sent the weak, ill dictator away from Moscow; if the leader recovered, then Molotov would be in trouble. It was not without intent that the information from Western agencies was placed on the leader’s table. Suspicious to suspicion, suspicious to the point of recklessness, Stalin “fell” on the version of Western journalists, and after returning to Moscow, changes began in Molotov’s fate - the leader alienated Vyacheslav Mikhailovich from himself, and at the same time from big and responsible matters.
Stalin's departure for vacation caused concern among Beria and Malenkov: Stalin left in his place, on the party line, the Secretary of the Central Committee, Andrei Zhdanov, and on the Council of Ministers, the First Deputy Pre-Council Minister, Chairman of the State Planning Committee, Nikolai Voznesensky. This could not help but alert Beria...
General Telegin’s letter to V. M. Molotov survived completely by accident, thanks to the courage and courage of V. Kuznetsov, who risked exposing a guiltless person to the Deputy Pres of the USSR Council of Ministers.
“...The torture continued daily... Pieces of meat were torn out from me (evidence of this is on my body)... My only desire and request to the executioners was that they would kill me as soon as possible and stop my torment. I was losing my mind, I couldn't stand the torture anymore. The executioners, having tortured me, sat on my head and legs, beat me until I lost consciousness, and when I lost consciousness, they doused me with water and beat me again, then they dragged me by my legs along the stone floor into a punishment cell, beat my head against the wall, and did not allow me to lie down or sit. could... I was starved, thirsty, constantly not allowed to sleep - as soon as I fell asleep, the tormentors started all over again. I wished for death for a year and a half. I signed the protocols without reading - I didn’t have the strength, my eyes couldn’t distinguish the letters...
Vyacheslav Mikhailovich!
Destroyed morally, crippled physically, I scream about this exceptional mistake, injustice and lawlessness committed by the MGB, the court and the prosecutor’s office...”
If Konstantin Fedorovich had known about how Molotov sent innocent people to the Lubyanka, he would not have turned to the deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers... In 1937, when Molotov was chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, a professor, one of the employees of the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, Levin, addressed him with a letter with a request on the review of the case of Dr. L. G. Levin, his father, who was arrested due to a misunderstanding. Molotov wrote on the professor’s request: “To Yezhov. Is this professor still in the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, and not in the NKVD?” And the petitioner, after some time, was arrested and disappeared forever, apparently, in one of the camps of the North...
Sentenced to twenty-five years, K. F. Telegin ended up in the Pereborsk department of the Volgolag of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs. From there he turned to Marshal of the Soviet Union K. Voroshilov, who knew him well: “...I am Lieutenant General Telegin - a member of the military councils of the Moscow Military District, Stalingrad, Central, 1st Belorussian Fronts, Group of Forces in Germany. Sentenced by the court to 25 years of labor camp and deprived of everything that was deserved by 30 years of honest, impeccable service to the Motherland and the party. I was accused of embezzlement of socialist property, theft and robbery.
On January 24, 1948, I was arrested and put in an internal prison. 30.01. I was charged under Articles 58-10-11 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR and 193-17. On January 27, I was summoned by Minister Abakumov, who from the very beginning of the conversation swore at me, called me an enemy, a robber, and invited me to testify about his criminal activities against the party and the state.
I demanded that he specifically accuse me of what exactly my hostile activities were. Abakumov answered me that I must say what my fault is, and if I don’t say it, then we will send you to a military prison and beat your ass so hard that you will say everything yourself.
For a month, investigators Sokolov and Samarin, not allowing me to sleep at all, day or night, drove me to complete despair. Having not obtained from me the testimony they wanted about my participation in the leadership of a military conspiracy consisting of Zhukov, Serov and a number of other generals, blackmailing me with the fact that Zhukov and Serov had already been arrested, they demanded testimony from me about the methods of work and plans of the conspiracy...
Now crippled and tormented, I still don’t want to write myself off as expendable, but as long as I have enough strength, experience, and knowledge, I want to work for the glory of our party and the Motherland. 04/05/1954 Telegin.”
Telegin did not receive an answer...
The endless bullying, beatings and mockery of the executioners Beria - Abakumov took their toll - the general developed pulmonary tuberculosis... And if not for the death of the generalissimo, the disease would have finished off the prisoner Telegin...
In 1953, when G.K. Zhukov became the first deputy minister of defense, K.F. Telegin’s wife, Maria Lvovna, called the marshal’s secretariat and asked for an appointment.
Georgy Konstantinovich met M.L. Telegina at the door, sat her down in a chair, and sat down next to her. As soon as Maria Lvovna, worried, began to talk about her experience, the marshal put his finger to his lips, making it clear that she should speak more quietly - there was probably listening equipment in the office. The syndrome of seven years of control by Beria’s department over every step of the commander worked.
Zhukov listened to M. L. Telegina and called Minister of Defense N. A. Bulganin:
I have to come see you on urgent business!
Maria Lvovna was gripped by fear - Bulganin was not one of those who would take Telegin’s side. In 1947, during the expulsion of Konstantin Fedorovich from the party and dismissal from the army, Bulganin, responding to a remark from someone present about the obvious error in the proceedings and the unfoundedness of the charges, said:
Let this be an edification to others!
She reached out to Zhukov to stop him, to prevent him from going to Bulganin, but when she saw the marshal’s decisive face, his strong-willed gaze, she stopped herself...
At the beginning of July 1953, the telephone rang in the Telegins’ apartment.
Hello, Maria Lvovna. Zhukov. Bake pancakes. Kostya is back...
Konstantin Fedorovich returned home seriously ill, and was immediately sent to the Burdenko hospital, to the department where Galina Aleksandrovna, an experienced therapist, the wife of G.K. Zhukov, worked...

An excerpt characterizing Telegin, Konstantin Fedorovich
“Oh, you don’t understand anything, don’t talk nonsense, just listen,” Natasha said with instant annoyance.“No, I can’t believe it,” Sonya repeated. - I don't understand. How did you love one person for a whole year and suddenly... After all, you only saw him three times. Natasha, I don’t believe you, you’re being naughty. In three days, forget everything and so...
“Three days,” Natasha said. “It seems to me that I have loved him for a hundred years.” It seems to me that I have never loved anyone before him. You can't understand this. Sonya, wait, sit here. – Natasha hugged and kissed her.
“They told me that this happens and you heard correctly, but now I have only experienced this love.” It's not what it used to be. As soon as I saw him, I felt that he was my master, and I was his slave, and that I could not help but love him. Yes, slave! Whatever he tells me, I will do. You don't understand this. What should I do? What should I do, Sonya? - Natasha said with a happy and frightened face.
“But think about what you’re doing,” said Sonya, “I can’t leave it like that.” These secret letters... How could you let him do this? - she said with horror and disgust, which she could hardly hide.
“I told you,” Natasha answered, “that I have no will, how can you not understand this: I love him!”
“Then I won’t let this happen, I’ll tell you,” Sonya screamed with tears breaking through.
“What are you doing, for God’s sake... If you tell me, you are my enemy,” Natasha spoke. - You want my misfortune, you want us to be separated...
Seeing this fear of Natasha, Sonya cried tears of shame and pity for her friend.
- But what happened between you? – she asked. -What did he tell you? Why doesn't he go to the house?
Natasha did not answer her question.
“For God’s sake, Sonya, don’t tell anyone, don’t torture me,” Natasha begged. – You remember that you cannot interfere in such matters. I opened it for you...
– But why these secrets! Why doesn't he go to the house? – Sonya asked. - Why doesn’t he directly seek your hand? After all, Prince Andrei gave you complete freedom, if that’s the case; but I don't believe it. Natasha, have you thought about what secret reasons there could be?
Natasha looked at Sonya with surprised eyes. Apparently, this was the first time she had asked this question and she didn’t know how to answer it.
– I don’t know what the reasons are. But there are reasons!
Sonya sighed and shook her head in disbelief.
“If there were reasons...” she began. But Natasha, guessing her doubt, interrupted her in fear.
- Sonya, you can’t doubt him, you can’t, you can’t, do you understand? – she shouted.
– Does he love you?
- Does he love you? – Natasha repeated with a smile of regret about her friend’s lack of understanding. – You read the letter, did you see it?
- But what if he is an ignoble person?
– Is he!... an ignoble person? If only you knew! - Natasha said.
“If he is a noble man, then he must either declare his intention or stop seeing you; and if you don’t want to do this, then I will do it, I will write to him, I will tell dad,” Sonya said decisively.
- Yes, I can’t live without him! - Natasha screamed.
- Natasha, I don’t understand you. And what are you saying! Remember your father, Nicolas.
“I don’t need anyone, I don’t love anyone but him.” How dare you say that he is ignoble? Don't you know that I love him? – Natasha shouted. “Sonya, go away, I don’t want to quarrel with you, go away, for God’s sake go away: you see how I’m suffering,” Natasha shouted angrily in a restrained, irritated and desperate voice. Sonya burst into tears and ran out of the room.
Natasha went to the table and, without thinking for a minute, wrote that answer to Princess Marya, which she could not write the whole morning. In this letter, she briefly wrote to Princess Marya that all their misunderstandings were over, that, taking advantage of the generosity of Prince Andrei, who, when leaving, gave her freedom, she asks her to forget everything and forgive her if she is guilty before her, but that she cannot be his wife . It all seemed so easy, simple and clear to her at that moment.
On Friday the Rostovs were supposed to go to the village, and on Wednesday the count went with the buyer to his village near Moscow.
On the day of the count's departure, Sonya and Natasha were invited to a big dinner with the Karagins, and Marya Dmitrievna took them. At this dinner, Natasha again met with Anatole, and Sonya noticed that Natasha was saying something to him, wanting not to be heard, and throughout the dinner she was even more excited than before. When they returned home, Natasha was the first to begin with Sonya the explanation that her friend was waiting for.
“You, Sonya, said all sorts of stupid things about him,” Natasha began in a meek voice, the voice that children use when they want to be praised. - We explained it to him today.
- Well, what, what? Well, what did he say? Natasha, how glad I am that you are not angry with me. Tell me everything, the whole truth. What did he say?
Natasha thought about it.
- Oh Sonya, if only you knew him like I do! He said... He asked me about how I promised Bolkonsky. He was glad that it was up to me to refuse him.
Sonya sighed sadly.
“But you didn’t refuse Bolkonsky,” she said.
- Or maybe I refused! Maybe it's all over with Bolkonsky. Why do you think so badly of me?
- I don’t think anything, I just don’t understand it...
- Wait, Sonya, you will understand everything. You will see what kind of person he is. Don't think bad things about me or him.
– I don’t think anything bad about anyone: I love everyone and feel sorry for everyone. But what should I do?
Sonya did not give in to the gentle tone with which Natasha addressed her. The softer and more searching the expression on Natasha’s face was, the more serious and stern Sonya’s face was.
“Natasha,” she said, “you asked me not to talk to you, I didn’t, now you started it yourself.” Natasha, I don't believe him. Why this secret?
- Again, again! – Natasha interrupted.
– Natasha, I’m afraid for you.
- What to be afraid of?
“I’m afraid that you will destroy yourself,” Sonya said decisively, herself frightened by what she said.
Natasha's face again expressed anger.
“And I will destroy, I will destroy, I will destroy myself as quickly as possible.” None of your business. It will feel bad not for you, but for me. Leave me, leave me. I hate you.
- Natasha! – Sonya cried out in fear.
- I hate it, I hate it! And you are my enemy forever!
Natasha ran out of the room.
Natasha no longer spoke to Sonya and avoided her. With the same expression of excited surprise and criminality, she walked around the rooms, taking up first this or that activity and immediately abandoning them.
No matter how hard it was for Sonya, she kept an eye on her friend.
On the eve of the day on which the count was supposed to return, Sonya noticed that Natasha had been sitting all morning at the living room window, as if expecting something, and that she made some kind of sign to a passing military man, whom Sonya mistook for Anatole.
Sonya began to observe her friend even more carefully and noticed that Natasha was in a strange and unnatural state all the time during lunch and evening (she answered questions asked to her at random, started and did not finish sentences, laughed at everything).
After tea, Sonya saw a timid girl's maid waiting for her at Natasha's door. She let her through and, listening at the door, learned that a letter had been delivered again. And suddenly it became clear to Sonya that Natasha had some terrible plan for this evening. Sonya knocked on her door. Natasha didn't let her in.

In 1947 he was dismissed from the army and arrested in January. In July 1953, he was completely rehabilitated and reinstated in the Armed Forces.
From an article in the Military Historical Journal (1989. No. 6) we learn that Lieutenant General Telegin, Deputy Marshal G.K. Zhukov and a member of the Military Council of the Group of Soviet Occupation Forces in Germany (GSOVG) was arrested on the personal orders of Stalin on January 24, 1948.
First of all, he was accused of violating the procedure for awarding orders, slandering the Soviet Army and anti-Soviet statements. For example, in 1945, Telegin allegedly stated: “We are ashamed in front of foreign countries for our troops located in Germany, for the fact that they look so dirty and ragged, while the Anglo-American troops are dressed spick and span” ( Military-historical magazine. 1989. No. 6. P. 75). The second part of the crimes was more significant. From the indictment of the Ministry of State Security: “...The investigation established that Telegin, being in 1944-1946 with the Soviet troops on the territory of Poland and Germany, using his official position, he was engaged in acquisitiveness, buying for next to nothing and appropriating valuables and property that was subject to surrender to the state.During the search, a large number of valuables were confiscated from Telegin, over 16 kilograms of silver items, 218 pieces of woolen and silk fabrics, 21 hunting rifles, many antique porcelain and earthenware, furs, tapestries by French and Flemish masters of the 17th and 18th centuries and other expensive items. Telegin pleaded guilty” (Ibid.). In the statement of A.A. Zhdanov Marshal G.K. Zhukov reported about his subordinate: “I can’t say anything about Telegin. I believe that he acquired the situation in Leipzig incorrectly. I told him about this personally. I don’t know where he put her” (Military Archives of Russia. M., 1993. P. 243).
Based on the totality of his crimes, Telegin was sentenced to 25 years in a forced labor camp. There were letters and petitions for pardon. The convict wrote to K.E. Voroshilov and V.M. Molotov
about illegal methods of investigation (Telegin was severely beaten by investigators and jailers), swore, as usual, loyalty to the party and Stalin, and begged for a return to honest work. The general's son appealed to the prosecutor's office to review the property charges, claiming that some of the confiscated items belonged to him. In the end, after Stalin’s death in the “cold summer” of 1953, General Telegin was pardoned. He was completely rehabilitated on political charges, but they simply turned a blind eye to other charges (Knyshevsky P. Dobycha. M., 1994. P. 130).
At present, most historians have no doubt that when giving the order to arrest Telegin, Stalin pursued very specific goals. “After the victory near Moscow, the authority and popularity of Marshal G.K. Zhukov increased sharply. This apparently did not suit the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. The selection of “compromising evidence” against Zhukov was resumed. The most noticeable links in these actions: the arrest in 1942 of the head of the Western Front’s operational department, Major General V.S. Golushkevich; the arrest in 1945 of Air Chief Marshal A.A. Novikov; the arrest in January 1948. Zhukov’s closest associate, Lieutenant General K.F. Telegin” (Pavlenko N.G. The history of the war has not yet been written // Ogonyok. 1989. No. 25).
Let us give an opinion on the post-war Stalinist repressions of the military historian Yu. Gorkov. He writes: “I.V. Stalin was a genius of intrigue. Yes, as Supreme Commander-in-Chief he brought benefits to the country. His name is forever inscribed in the history of the Great Patriotic War. But the war came to its end, and the long-awaited Victory Day appeared on the threshold. Stalin made enormous efforts to quarrel with the military men around him in order to destroy the front-line brotherhood that united them. His intrigue was a success; the top military leaders were divided. Only this can explain the unceremoniousness with which he dealt with the people’s favorite commanders. G.K. fell into disgrace. Zhukov and K.K. Rokossovsky. But at least they remained free. But the Air Force Commander, Air Chief Marshal A.A. Novikov and his first deputy, Air Marshal G.A. Vorozheikin1 was imprisoned. I.V. Stalin settled scores with the obstinate head of the GAU, Colonel General N.D. Yakovlev.2 He was arrested and thrown alone for an “accident” when firing the new S-60 artillery system. The “accident” was that during firing the recoil brake spring of the 57-mm gun burst. The general was accused of sabotage. Some generals from G.K.’s inner circle also ended up in prison. Zhukov, in particular, member of the Military Council, Lieutenant General K.F. Telegin" (Gorkoye Yu. Kremlin. Headquarters. General Staff. Tver, 1995. P. 146).
