Tukhachevsky, Voroshilov, Korolev, Voznesensky (Mikheev V.R. Georgy Alexandrovich Bothezat. 1882-1940. - M.: Nauka, 2000). The attempt of historical reconstruction.
It is quite possible that the recent mention of the "Baba Yaga" drone attracted the attention of a part of the public.
It can be assumed that some curious people were interested in this drone, and these people read publications about this product.
Some of interested persons found a surname they had not previously known: Bothezat.
After the meeting of the surname "Bothezat" (de Bothezat), they read a book dedicated to George de Bothezat (to Georgy Alexandrovich Bothezat) (the title of book - it was published in Russian - is given in the title of this essay). (George de Bothezat, on his father's side, came from a Bessarabian noble family, from Moldova, country historically associated with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; his mother was Nadezhda Lvovna Rabutovskaya).
These (interested) people have read half of the book, or this book in its entirety.
Many interesting associations arise: about priorities in helicopter creation, about a helicopter that was recently flying over the Mars surface, and so on.
However, in the book by Mikheev there is a mention of several waves of destruction (murder) of the "old" Russial technical intelligentsia, about the post-revolutionary destraction of the Russial aviation industry, created before and during the First World War.
It is curious that a few of those prominent figures who created the pre-revolutionary aviation industry (branch) stopped working in this field and taught mathematics in secondary schools. The rest either disappeared, were killed, or went abroad.
How was it possible to restore the aviation industry (branch) up to a capable and combat-ready level?
Who dealt with this problem?
Maybe it was Grand Marshal Voroshilov?
Marshal Voroshilov proved himself in a real activity: both during the Great Patriotic War and after the war - during the launch of the nuclear project.
Under such circumstances, willy-nilly it is necessary to switch to the surname "Tukhachevsky".
(Curiously, the surname "Tukhachevsky" is mentioned in Valentin Pikul's book "Favorite" about Grigory Potemkin. Yes, they all found a finish of their lifes - somehow strangely, unhappily ...).
As for Tukhachevsky, the "conspiracy" comes to the fore.
But you can also remember something else. It was Tukhachevsky who orginized the necessary conditions for successful activity to Sergei Korolev, appointed Korolev to a high position in the military organization, and provided him with resources. (Sergei Korolev is a descendant of Simon Fursan Podchashii-Parnawski, a Polish nobleman (Симон Фурсан Подчаший Парнавский, польский шляхтич). Korolev was "lucky" to acquire a surname that is very common in Russia).
With the enormous effectiveness of Grand Marshal Voroshilov, Tukhachevsky, although he was only deputy Minister of Defense, regardless of his (Tukhachevsky) own efforts, created huge popularity for himself, made a real reputation for himself.
In such situation, it might have given the impression that in the conditions of the complete post-revolutionary defeat (destruction) of the military industry (branch), it was Tukhachevsky (and not some other persons, and not the legendary Communist Party of the Bolsheviks), who restored the military industry (branch) and created a modern, capable army.
Such a reputation and such a popularity is already on the verge of a conspiracy. Conspiracy is a complicated thing. If people play cards together on weekends and talk about the role of Tukhachevsky, then this is also, in a sense, a kind of conspiracy. If you try hard enough, then you can find the appropriate intent (from their side).
The legendary Marshal Voroshilov comes to the fore again, and the legendary designer Korolev goes into the background (that is, to places not so remote).
However, a modern military science shows itself both in the form of successful military operations in the summer of 1941, and in the form of rapid development of rocket branch.
October 1941 has come. The legendary marshals, the chiefs of the General Staff, headed in different directions, and Vasilevsky remained in Moscow as a representative of the General Staff. (The retreat gradually stops, the offensive begins - slowly but surely).
New weapons, a missiles (which Tukhachevsky, already, began to develop), are flying in the direction of European capitals. This may bother even Grand Marshal Voroshilov.
And Vasilevsky is appointed Chief of the General Staff, commander of large military groups, and Minister of War (Minister of Defense) (he has well absorbed Dostoevsky's philosophy: "behave without excessive pride, be modest").
With the flying rockets and in the period of Vasilevsky (as well as of Voznesensky), the great designer Korolev appears on the scene again.
A man who has assimilated the philosophy of Dostoevsky, Vasilevsky behaves modestly. Even in the legendary elimination of Beria, his surname is not mentioned.
Vasilevsky remains in the post of Minister of War until Stalin's death, behaves modestly enough and dies a natural death.
As an exclusive, personal, option, applied to him, the silencing and the pushing forward of another figure, obscuring Vasilevsky, is used, about which memories have been preserved in people's memory that during the retreat in the summer of 1941, he beat soldiers and officers with a stick - to stop them. How effective this method was - let modern outstanding Russial historians from various historical societies draw conclusions about it.
However, the powerful abilities, potential, and European views cannot but cause irritation. Of course, Vasilevsky died a natural death, but ...
There is (except Vasilevsky) Voznesensky, chairman of the State Planning Committee, is the one who created a capable military and post-war economy.
A combined method is used here. The method of concealment is applied to Voznesensky, he is obscured by the great figures in spheres of supply and evacuation. Voznesensky, according to tradition, follows Tukhachevsky. (A creative application of the principle: "they have to leave with what they came with").
The inquisitive Khrushchev, who admired rocket technology, delayed the processes a little; he sent those figures, who participated in the Novocherkassk events, to Cuba, to Fidel Castro. Khrushchev was a versatile man. He messed up the cards a bit. (Some dreamers, people with a rich imagination, started a rumor that he was the illegitimate son of some polish nobleman - allegedly, his mother worked in the estate of some rich man).
But, in general, talent and efficiency can annoy someone. Somehow, the great designers from the space and nuclear industries stayed in this world only for a short time after Khrushchev's departure.
Well, about Bothezat (de Bothezat)... He built some kind of incredible, unreal - for the beginning of the 20th century - helicopter (four-screw - quadcopter), and then became a businessman, earned a lot of capital, continued own favorite business - a designing of helicopters. He did not teach mathematics in secondary schools. He did not descend the same steps like Tukhachevsky and Voznesensky. He was not lucky enough to communicate with such great figures as the legendary Marshal Voroshilov.
