1937ref. 80372Moscow: 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.

1938ref. 58833Moscow: The People's Commissariat of Justice of the U.S.S.R. 1938. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Hardcover. Fair. 22 cm. 7 799 1 pages. Errata slip at last page. 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.

Cover has some wear and soiling. 4 277 p. Chronology. Bibliography of Watergate Source Materials. From an on-line posting "On November 2 1973 the Watergate Special Prosecution Force was established in the Department of Justice. the Watergate scandal began with the arrest of five men for breaking and entering into the Democratic National Committee DNC headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington D.C. on June 17 1972. The Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI connected cash found on the burglars to a slush fund used by the Committee for the Re-Election of the President a fundraising group for the Nixon campaign. It appears that the slush funds had not been used just for domestic political contributions but also for paying bribes to foreign government officials.According to an article in the Wall Street Journal Stanley Sporkin the SEC s enforcement director from 1974 to 1981 had watched the Watergate hearings on television and was curious about how the companies had booked the illegal contributions. Digging further he and his staff found that some companies also dipped into the secret funds to pay off foreign officials with an eye to landing contracts abroad." U. S.
