19383The volume is a record of the court proceedings directed against a number of prominent political opponents of the Stalinist regime. Among the accused was N.I. Bukharin who was tortured with many others noted in this volume. The volume is a record of the coerced testimony of some of the victims of the Stalinist state and a rare record in English translation of the inner workings of the perverted system of justice employed to crush those who questioned the system or were perceived as political threats to the repressive regime.

P5852Moscow: Ministerstvo elektrostantsii SSSR 1958. Oblong folio 24.5 × 36 cm. Original silver embossed blue cloth with blue printed dust wrapper in protective card case; 197 pp. Illustrated profusely from photographs in black and white with captions. Small closed tears to front and back dust wrapper; card case rubbed and lightly soiled; lacking titl leaf; else a very well preserved copy. This impressively illustrated album exhibited at the Soviet Pavilion during the Brussels World's fair in 1958 is filled with maps graphs drawings and photographs that tell the story of the electrical production of the Soviet Union. The album opens with a famous quotation from Lenin: "Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country." The following pages contain graphs indicating rapid growth of electrical production maps that show the reach of electrical power and photographs of the enormous machines that service major urban centers like Moscow as well as entire regions like the Don Basin DONBAS. Typical for the Thaw and in contrast to similar albums form the heydays of the 'five year plans' all mentions of Stalin are conspicuously absent and the album is focused on images over text clearly trying to appeal to an international audience in keeping with new international policies of Nikita Khrushchev 1894-1971. Khrushchev came to power after the death of Stalin in 1953 and in his 1956 "secret speech" denounced Stalin's cult of personality and isolationist policies setting in motion the period known as the Thaw 1956-1968. Changing the international image of the Soviet Union was a major focus for Khrushchev and he saw international participation in cultural events as key. The Soviet presence at the Brussels World's fair in 1958 was a great success with the Soviet pavilion winning a grand prix and exhibiting among other technological innovations a facsimile of Sputnik a satellite that had gone into space in the previous year. Another grand prix went to the Volga Hydroelectric Station Volga GES images of which are richly represented in this album. unknown

193780372Moscow: The People's Commissariat of Justice of the U.S.S.R. 1937. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Hardcover. Fair. 22 cm. 8 580 pages. Cover very worn and soiled. Hindges weak. Edges rubbed and corners bumped. Some moisture staining at bottom all pages separate and text complete. This second purge trial involved 17 lesser figures including Karl Radek Yuri Pyatakov and Grigory Sokolnikov. Alexander Beloborodov was also arrested and intended to be tried along with Radek but did not make the confession required of him and so he was not produced in court. Thirteen of the defendants were eventually executed by shooting. The rest received sentences in labor camps. Radek was spared as he implicated others including Nikolai Bukharin Alexei Rykov and Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky setting the stage for the Trial of Military and Trial of the Twenty One. Radek provided the pretext for the purge on a massive scale with his testimony that there was a "third organization separate from the cadres which had passed through Trotsky's school" as well as "semi-Trotskyites quarter-Trotskyites one-eighth-Trotskyites people who helped us not knowing of the terrorist organization but sympathizing with us people who from liberalism from a Fronde against the Party gave us this help." By the third organization he meant the last remaining former opposition group called Rightists led by Bukharin. At the time many Western observers who attended the trials said that they were fair and that the guilt of the accused had been established. They based this assessment on the confessions of the accused which were given in open court without any apparent evidence that they had been tortured or drugged. The Moscow Trials were a series of show trials held in the Soviet Union at the instigation of Joseph Stalin between 1936 and 1938 against Trotskyists and members of Right Opposition of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. There were three Moscow Trials: the Case of the Trotskyite-Zinovievite Terrorist Center Zinoviev-Kamenev Trial aka "Trial of the Sixteen" 1936 the Case of the Anti-Soviet Trotskyist Center Pyatakov-Radek Trial 1937 and the Case of the Anti-Soviet "Bloc of Rights and Trotskyites" Bukharin-Rykov Trial aka "Trial of the Twenty-One" 1938. The defendants of these were Old Bolshevik party leaders and top officials of the Soviet secret police. Most defendants were charged under Article 58 of the RSFSR Penal Code with conspiring with the Western powers to assassinate Stalin and other Soviet leaders dismember the Soviet Union and restore capitalism. The Moscow Trials led to the execution of many of the defendants. They are generally seen as part of Stalin's Great Purge an attempt to rid the party of current or prior oppositionists especially but not exclusively Trotskyists and any leading Bolshevik cadre from the time of the Russian Revolution or earlier who might even potentially become a figurehead for the growing discontent in the Soviet populace resulting from Stalin's mismanagement of the economy. Stalin's hasty industrialization during the period of the First Five Year Plan and the brutality of the forced agricultural collectivization had led to an acute economic and political crisis in 1928-33 a part of the global problem known as the Great Depression and to enormous suffering on the part of the Soviet workers and peasants. Stalin was acutely conscious of this fact and took steps to prevent it taking the form of an opposition inside the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to his increasingly totalitarian rule.

Cover shows wear and soiling. Edges rubbed and corners bumped. The third show trial in March 1938 known as The Trial of the Twenty-One tied together all the loose threads from earlier trials. It included 21 defendants alleged to belong to the so-called "Bloc of Rightists and Trotskyites" It was now alleged that Bukharin and others had conspired to assassinate Lenin and Stalin numerous times after 1918 and had murdered Soviet writer Maxim Gorky by poison in 1936. The group also stood accused of espionage. Bukharin and others were claimed to have plotted the overthrow and territorial partition of the Soviet Union in collusion with agents of the German and Japanese governments among other preposterous charges. Even sympathetic observers who had stomached the earlier trials found it hard to swallow the new charges as they became ever more absurd and the purge had now expanded to include virtually every living Old Bolshevik leader except Stalin. Stalin also observed some of the trial in person from a hidden chamber in the courtroom. On the first day of the trial Krestinsky caused a sensation when he repudiated his written confession and pleaded not guilty to all the charges. However he changed his plea the next day after "special measures" which dislocated his left shoulder among other things. The Moscow Trials were a series of show trials held in the Soviet Union at the instigation of Joseph Stalin between 1936 and 1938 against Trotskyists and members of Right Opposition of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. There were three Moscow Trials: the Case of the Trotskyite-Zinovievite Terrorist Center Zinoviev-Kamenev Trial aka "Trial of the Sixteen" 1936 the Case of the Anti-Soviet Trotskyist Center Pyatakov-Radek Trial 1937 and the Case of the Anti-Soviet "Bloc of Rights and Trotskyites" Bukharin-Rykov Trial aka "Trial of the Twenty-One" 1938.
