Leader of
To hear the people of Nizhny Tagil tell it, Pavel Yakovlevich Meshik is a hero of the working class, liberating them from the vile Black League. But look closely. Someone is listening in. In truth, Meshik began as a chief of the secret police, cruelly devoted to Kaganovich at every turn. When Tyumen fell, most expected Meshik would be executed. But where most would denounce the brutality of the secret police, the Glavkoverkh saw loyalty he could to twist into service. And so Meshik served - from town to town, from house to house, on an endless hunt for those who denied the necessity of the Great Trial. Yet they never managed to catch the man who shot Glavkoverkh Yazov in the chest. Now as always, Meshik hides away from justice. His citadel, Nizhny Tagil, provides him and clique a comforting story that none deserve. Here, the chekists have returned to every corner, listening for those who talk of Chairman Meshik's past openly. Those who dissent disappear into the night, or are hung in the streets. It seems Meshik hopes to cover his past in a coating of blood. But red cannot stain that which is already black. The town of Nizhny Tagil may have its eyes stapled shut, but the rest of the nation knows more than Meshik could ever hide. The chairman is one with the Black League, and with them he will die. |
Involvement
If the Black League unifies Western Siberia, Meshik defects from Sergei Kirov's clique in the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) to join the Black Hand, the Black League's secret police. If the Black League is defeated by Pavel Batov's insurgency, Meshik will create the People's Republic of Nizhny Tagil, and suppress any information that points to him having defected from the Communist Party.
