The Accusation of O. Tyanaev in Antiparty Sins at the Second Plenary Session of the Kyarobkom of the VKP(b)

Accusation of Tynaev in Right-Opportunistic Sins

After the abolition of the district, at the age of 26, Osmon was appointed as the secretary of the Jalal-Abad district party committee.

However, he did not have long to work in his new position. Three months after his appointment, he was removed from office.

At the II Plenary of the Kyrgyz Regional Committee of the VKP(b), held from February 1 to 4, 1931, O. Tynaev expressed his viewpoint on the issue of collectivization of agriculture in the republic. The punishment for dissent followed immediately.

On February 3, the bureau of the Kyrgyz Regional Committee of the VKP(b), and on February 7, the presidium of the Central Committee of the VKP(b) accused him of anti-party, right-opportunistic sins, which were expressed in the following:

“a) Comrade O. I. Tynaev puts forward a new ‘thesis’ that has never been practiced in the party about two stages in collectivization: the first stage — after the decisions of the XV Congress and until the XVI Congress of the VKP(b). He claims in his speech that according to these two ‘stages’, the party conducted a policy of collectivization during the first ‘stage’, based solely on the crediting of collective farms, and during the second ‘stage’, weakened the policy of crediting and moved on to implementing the tasks of collectivization based on the positive results achieved from this work.

He believes that under the conditions of the work of the Kyrgyz party organization, we should carry out collectivization only on the basis of the first ‘stage’, that is, on the basis of crediting collective farms;

b) Comrade O. I. Tynaev indiscriminately accuses all collective farms of being consumerist and dependent by nature, solely on the basis that some collective farms partially did not fulfill the plan for grain and cotton procurement and thus did not prove the advantages of collective farming over individual farming;

c) Comrade O. I. Tynaev unfoundedly and in a panic asserts that the policy of giving strict assignments to kulaks and the well-off elite of the village leads to the bare dispossession and squandering of livestock by the middle peasants;

d) Comrade O. I. Tynaev in his speech asserts that admitting a large number of hired laborers into the party may lead to the ‘swelling’ and ‘cluttering’ of the party ranks.”

All these accusations do not withstand any criticism today; they were artificially concocted. O. Tynaev was also accused of having, while being the head of the department of the regional committee of the VKP(b) for work in the village, conducted through the secretariat in June 1929, according to Molotov's report at the XV Congress of the party, a decision to allow kulak and bay-manap households into collective farms. Soon it was canceled as right-opportunistic. Since then, Tynaev's activities began to be presented as a vivid manifestation of the ‘right deviation’ in the republic. Hence, the political label — ‘tynaevshchina’ originated. Today, our bitter historical experience largely attests to the correctness of O. Tynaev and his like-minded individuals. History itself has judged everything. What seemed a disgrace then is now seen in the halo of civil heroism.

O. Tynaev supported his thoughts and words with concrete actions. Unlike others, who hurried to report on 100% collectivization, O. Tynaev and another leader of the Osh district party organization, Erkinbek Esenamanov, did not seek to rush events. This is evidenced, in particular, by the following statistics, for which they were constantly criticized at plenums and conferences: at the end of 1930, the level of collectivization in the Osh district barely exceeded 10 percent, while in Kyrgyzstan as a whole it was 28 percent, in the Kemin district — 90 percent, in Chui — 84.3 percent, and in Alamedin — 64.1 percent. As they say, comments here are superfluous.
