Published in 1967 with a foreword by Gerry Healy, this Anthology includes an article by Joseph Redman, “The British Stalinists and the Moscow Trials” (1958); “The Special Report on the 20th Congress of the CPSU” by Nikita Khrushchev (1956); three articles by contemporary Soviet writers; and “Stalin’s Frame-up System and the Moscow Trials,” (1937) and “The Stalinist Bureaucracy and the Assassination of Kirov,” (1934) by Leon Trotsky.
The occasion for publication was the refusal of the British Communist Party to condemn the purges of thousands of Old Bolsheviks in the 1930s which had recently been in the news commemorating of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Soviet state’s security forces.
