Ignatov Nikolai Grigorievich, statesman, security officer

About him, a Cossack from the village of Tishanskaya, in Soviet time reported as a prominent party and government figure. It was not mentioned that he was a professional security officer, and he miraculously escaped Stalin's repressions.

It’s hard to imagine that Ignatov came from the family of an illiterate rural carpenter and worked his way up to Chairman of the Presidium Supreme Council RSFSR.

He was born in 1901 in the village of Tishanskaya, Khopersky district of the Don Army Region (Nekhaevsky district). A seventeen-year-old boy rushed into a whirlwind civil war with Budyonny's 1st Cavalry Army. Served in the state security agencies of the Cheka-OGPU.

In 1921, Ignatov was engaged in eliminating gangs in the Don expanses. With the help of agents in Rostov-on-Don, two large anti-Bolshevik organizations were exposed.

The young Soviet Republic then set its sights on the neighboring restive Central Asian regions. The specially created Eastern Department united the work of security officers in the newly formed Turkestan, Khiva and Bukhara republics.

Ignatov was transferred to Central Asia in 1923, where the 21st Cavalry Division fought against the Basmachi. In it he joins the Bolshevik Party.

In operations to eliminate the Basmachi, who killed government officials and terrorized residents, he skillfully navigates the operational situation, takes reasonable risks, acts boldly and decisively, takes into account the work of the British intelligence services, which used numerous Basmachi detachments against Russia and formed an intelligence network along the Trans-Caspian railway .

Years of intense life of Ignatov and his employees were spent exposing the intelligence plans of England and other powers. The security forces managed, under difficult conditions, to create about two dozen overseas stations on the territory of Iran, Afghanistan and Turkey.

In those years in Central Asia The post of plenipotentiary representative of the OGPU was introduced, in which Ignatov took the position of secretary of the party organization.

It was then, in the fall of 1931, that the GPU carried out a military operation in Turkmenistan and Tajikistan to eliminate the Basmachi. Large British intelligence stations were discovered in Turkmenistan.

Ignatov studied at courses at the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) in 1932-1934, then worked as a party organizer at the Gosznak factory. This is where his party career begins.

Fate saved him from mass repressions among the security officers. Many of his colleagues came under suspicion for allegedly having connections with foreign intelligence services - and were secretly shot. The residencies they founded in Iran and Afghanistan were lost for a long time.

Ignatov is completely devoted to party work. From 1938 onwards Patriotic War, until 1952, he was the secretary of large regional and regional committees of the CPSU (Kuibyshev, Orel, Krasnodar). Then the first secretary of the Leningrad City Committee of the CPSU. Nikolai Grigorievich had a great capacity for work, was demanding of himself and those around him, and valued hardworking and responsible people. The tireless native of the Don reached the heights of Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee.

In the newspapers of 1962, the Donets proudly read that the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation was headed by their fellow countryman Nikolai Ignatov.

Next year he is Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council USSR. At the same time, he works in the Council of Ministers and heads the State Procurement Committee of the USSR. He has been elected as a deputy of the country's Supreme Council since 1937.

Despite the drastic party-Soviet cataclysms, Ignatov managed to withstand many shocks. In the hard times of repression, the hands of the heads of state security agencies Yagoda, Yezhov and Beria did not reach him (of the few extraordinary personalities). Incredibly, Ignatov was awarded the government orders and the title of Hero of Socialist Labor for his services to the intelligence service, in the military and civilian fields.

In Moscow, on Red Square, in the Kremlin wall there is a plaque with the name of Nikolai Grigorievich Ignatov.

There, under the radiance of the Kremlin stars, rests the ashes of a Cossack son from the distant Tishanskaya village, who worthily passed his earthly path at that difficult time for the good of the Fatherland.

From the dossier.“Yagoda E.G., General Commissioner of State Security, sentenced in open trial the “right-wing Trotskyist bloc” in the case of Bukharin, Rykov and others to capital punishment. On March 15, 1938, the sentence was carried out.

Yezhov N.I., General Commissioner of State Security, is accused of preparing terrorist attacks against the leaders of the party and state, preparing an armed uprising against Soviet power, and conducting espionage in favor of foreign intelligence services. On February 2, 1940, the court sentenced Yezhov to death.

Beria L.P., General Commissioner of State Security, betrayed Supreme Court USSR on December 18, 1953 for “criminal anti-party and anti-state actions.” Sentenced to death with confiscation of property. The executed man was cremated and his ashes were scattered.

Ignatov’s support for his position at the plenum of the CPSU Central Committee in June 1957 helped him return to the highest echelon of power - on June 29, 1957, he was elected a member of the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee, and on December 17, 1957, secretary of the CPSU Central Committee. However, he quickly became disillusioned with N.G. Ignatov. Eyewitnesses of that time testified that Nikolai Grigorievich was a harsh and rude person, prone to intrigue and demagoguery.

From the book by L.M. Mlechina "Iron Shurik"(Eksmo, Yauza; Moscow; 2004):

“Chairman of the KGB [I.A. Serov] made an unforgivable mistake. He became close to the Secretary of the Central Committee Nikolai Grigorievich Ignatov. Now a completely forgotten figure, he once played a very prominent role, but aspired to more.

Ignatov served in the Cheka from the twenty-first year, from the twenty-third he was a special officer in the 11th cavalry division, which fought the Basmachi in Central Asia. In the thirties he was made secretary of the party organization of the plenipotentiary representation of the OGPU in Central Asia. Then they recalled me to a two-year course on Marxism-Leninism under the Central Committee. This is his only education. He never learned anything else. In the questionnaires he wrote: secondary education.

After the courses, he was sent to party work in Leningrad. After the murder of Kirov and mass arrests, many vacancies appeared there. Ignatov was made secretary of the district committee. Since then he has stubbornly climbed career ladder. At the beginning of the thirty-eighth year, being the secretary of the Kuibyshev regional committee, he distinguished himself by denouncing his leader, the first secretary. He was the recent owner of Ukraine Pavel Petrovich Postyshev, transferred to Kuibyshev.

Ignatov helped finish him off and soon took his chair. He was first secretary in Orel and Krasnodar. Stalin took notice of him and at the last congress of his life, in October 1952, he made him Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee and at the same time Minister of Procurement of the USSR.

In March '53, there was no place for Ignatov in the new leadership, and everything had to start all over again. He was sent as the second secretary of the Leningrad regional committee and at the same time as the first secretary of the city committee. Then he was the first secretary of the Voronezh and Gorky regional committees. When they tried to overthrow Khrushchev, Ignatov, having found his bearings in time, rushed to his defense. In gratitude for this, in December '57, Khrushchev again made him secretary of the Central Committee.

But Nikita Sergeevich quickly became disillusioned with him: his ambitions were not adequate. He’s rude and harsh, he’s a bully, he’s an intriguer and a demagogue, but he doesn’t know how to do much.

It turned out that Nikolai Ignatov tried to stand up for the KGB chairman.

Khrushchev told the Presidium of the Central Committee:

Comrade Ignatov came to me and asked the question: did we do the right thing? Are we in a hurry to resolve the issue of Serov? The special relationship between Ignatov and Serov turned out to be an unpleasant surprise for the First Secretary of the Central Committee.

Ignatov longed for friendship with the KGB chairman because he expected a great career and acquired supporters. But by doing so, he alienated the second secretary of the Central Committee, Alexei Illarionovich Kirichenko, who vigilantly guarded his possessions and did not allow Ignatov to move.

Kirichenko, Mikoyan recalled, and drew attention to the fact that Serov constantly comes to Ignatov on Old Square, although he does not need this for work, because the KGB chairman goes directly to Khrushchev.

Of course, this is not a crime,” Kirichenko noted. It's just somehow unclear. I looked for Serov several times and found him at Ignatov’s.

Ignatov began to furiously justify himself, claiming that nothing of the sort had happened, and that he did not communicate with Serov.

Another time, the experienced Kirichenko started a conversation about this in the presence of Khrushchev. It was an unmistakable move.

How can you say that you don’t communicate with Serov? Kirichenko asked Ignatov. - I looked for him today, they answered that he was in the Central Committee. They started looking in the department of administrative bodies - they couldn’t find it. In the end, it turned out that he was sitting in your office again.

Ignatov began to object:

No, I didn't have it!

A short investigation showed that Nikolai Grigorievich was disingenuous.

Ignatov, when Kirichenko called him, replied that he didn’t have Serov, but he did! - Khrushchev was indignant. - This is an intriguing step and deserves condemnation.

“I didn’t hide anything,” Ignatov justified himself. - When Kirichenko called, Serov was not with me. And when Serov came in, I immediately told him that Kirichenko was calling him.

Kirichenko condescendingly explained:

Malinovsky was a witness to this case.

The Minister of Defense was in the office of the Second Secretary of the Central Committee and heard everything.

After this, members of the presidium attacked both Serov and Ignatov.

Serov had little regard for party bodies,” Suslov noted. - He is generally a low-party person.

“Comrade Ignatov is surprising,” said Khrushchev’s new favorite Frol Romanovich Kozlov. - If you're wrong, tell me. And he behaves dishonestly. This excited me. We all need to come to a conclusion. As for Serov, he needs to be replaced.

The worst thing is that Ignatov did not tell Comrade Khrushchev that he actually had Serov,” the experienced Mikoyan concluded. - Now we need to resolve the issue of Serov.

Ignatov repented:

I got it. I think the issue is settled.

Khrushchev thought differently.

Nikita Sergeevich did not like at all that the KGB chairman was looking for support from one of the secretaries of the Central Committee behind his back.

Retribution followed very quickly. Both Serov, who was transferred to the main intelligence department of the General Staff, and Ignatov, whom Khrushchev soon removed from the Party Central Committee, suffered.

On the twenty-fourth of March fifty-nine, Khrushchev raised the question that it was necessary to “raise the prestige of Russian Federation", and proposed appointing Ignatov to the post of chairman of the presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, adding:

There is intelligence, there is character, the age is suitable, a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee.

Everyone understood that Khrushchev was removing him from big politics. The post was completely powerless and decorative. It was clear that Ignatov would soon be removed from the Presidium of the Central Committee, since his position was not appropriate.

On April 16, the first session of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of the fifth convocation approved Ignatov. They thought that he would soon cease to be secretary of the Central Committee. But Khrushchev changed his mind. On June 22, at a meeting of the presidium, it was decided “not to bring to the plenum of the Central Committee the question of dismissing the secretary from the post.” Moreover, Khrushchev, unexpectedly for everyone, again warmed up to Ignatov and returned him to the Central Committee. The second session of the Supreme Soviet of Russia, held in November of the same year, relieved Ignatov of his post, since “the Central Committee of the CPSU recognized it necessary for N.G. Ignatov concentrated on his main work as Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee.” In May 1960, Ignatov ceased to be Secretary of the Central Committee, but Khrushchev made him Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, awarded him the gold star of the Hero of Socialist Labor for his anniversary, and a year later made him Chairman of the State Procurement Committee of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

In October sixty-one, Khrushchev allowed Ignatov to speak at the 22nd Party Congress, which was a special honor. From the congress rostrum, Ignatov promised to resolve the issue of seeds:

Maybe we should think about and organize seed production of fodder beans on a state scale.

This must be done not only for beans,” Khrushchev interrupted him from the presidium, “but also for peas.”

That’s right, Nikita Sergeevich,” Ignatov answered with discipline.

It is necessary to create seed farms throughout the country,” Khrushchev added.

That’s right,” Ignatov repeated.

Ignatov used his speech at the congress to recall his role in the events of 1957, when Malenkov, Molotov and others almost overthrew Khrushchev.

Nikita Sergeevich enjoyed these memories. But the first secretary's favor was short-lived. Khrushchev decided to finally get rid of Ignatov. In December sixty-two, Khrushchev expelled him from the Central Committee and transferred him to the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR.

Ignatov did not forgive Nikita Sergeevich for his second disgrace and became his implacable enemy. That’s why in sixty-four he took an active part in the conspiracy against Khrushchev, but did not receive the coveted promotion. His comrades in the party leadership did not like him.”
