In 1986, the Soviet Union lived in anticipation of change. "Perestroika" reform was in full swing, led by Mikhail Gorbachev. At the XXVII Congress of the Communist Party, the Secretary General announced a course towards the democratization of society and acceleration of social and economic development. At the congress, the term "Rashidovism" was first spoken, which became a synonym for bribery, feudalism, and clannishness. The delegates from Uzbekistan, as if competing, reported on the criminal role of their idol yesterday - the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan Sharaf Rashidov.
A year or two will pass, and many of those who spoke from the rostrum of the congress about rashidism and the need to fight corruption will themselves be under investigation. And the "cotton" business will hit the party with a boomerang and inflict a mortal blow on it.
What really happened in Uzbekistan? What was the mechanism of colossal fraud that accelerated the collapse of the USSR? Who revealed this scam?
Problems associated with theft and bribery in Uzbekistan arose in the mid-seventies, when cotton was not yet discussed. The prosecutor's office opened the first criminal case related to bribery of high-ranking officials in 1975: the chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Republic and the chairman of the Supreme Court of Uzbekistan were brought to justice. They went to the chairman of the Council of Nationalities of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR Yadgar Nasriddinova. The investigation managed to collect quite serious materials about Yadgar taking bribes, but at the very last moment, due to Brezhnev’s intervention, the investigation was slowed down.
In 1979, several more cases were opened. In one (on guilty guilds of the Guzal association) the left clandestine workshops appeared, in the other, which arose simultaneously, the charge was brought against the head of the OBHSS of Bukhara region Muzaffarov and the chairman of the regional consumer union Kudratov. The investigation of this case was entrusted to the senior investigator for particularly important cases under the USSR Prosecutor General, Telman Gdlyan, who left for Bukhara. From Muzaffarov, the strings of bribery stretched to the very top, to the "father of the nation" Sharaf Rashidov, who headed the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan for almost a quarter century.
There is no doubt that during the life of Rashidov (and he was a seriously ill person, he traveled with intensive care and died right on the highway on the way to Jizzakh), no "cotton case" would have arisen during Brezhnev’s life. This became possible only under Yuri Andropov, who became Secretary General at the end of 1982. Andropov was preparing for a complete restructuring of the Soviet state. From major troubles the nomenclature was saved by his unexpected death, but he managed to deliver the first blow.
The choice of Uzbekistan as a training ground for the "fight against corruption" was hardly accidental. While still the chairman of the KGB, Yuri Andropov received a detailed report by the famous cotton scientist Academician Mirzaali Mukhamedzhanov. The document deciphered the mechanism of additions along the entire technological chain - from the field to the plant. The "cotton" case was conceived as the first in the chain of purges of the highest echelons of power in the Soviet republics. A powerful investigative landing has landed in Uzbekistan. In Moscow and the Moscow Region, KGB officers arrested several heads of ginning associations in Uzbekistan and directors of ginneries.
