Détaily are con- These two confessions are absolutely suffi- cient to justify an indictment under Article 58 Paragraph 6 of the Penal Code of the R.S. FS. R. In the same statement Ramzin gives a genéral survey of the work accomplished: “The question of the ereation of diver- sions during an intervention was diseussed séveral times by the Industriat Patty and treated chiefly in three divisions: lk. the war industries; 2. the power stations; and 3. the railways.” From thé spring of 1929 these questions Were discussed zealously both in the Indus- | trial Party and with the representatives of | the foreign General Staffs: “The main principle of the acts of diver- sion, about which an agreement was come to » between the Trade and Industrial Committee and the Industrial Party, was that of pro- ducing protracted hold-ups in industry with a minumum of destruction of fixed capital. This principle aimed at maintaining an in- dustry capable of work for the future gov- ernment and having it in such a state that could be brought into order with a minumum of financial costs and expenditure of time. With this end in view it was planned to de- termine the objects of the diversions in ad- vance and then to hold spare parts in readi- ness abroad in order to make the necessary repairs etc., without loss of time after the conclusion of the intervention. “War industries. In accordance with these directions, Kalinnikov and Tcharnovsky drew up a list of military undertakings in order in which the diversions were tc be carried out. This list was drawn up after agreement with the French General Staff through Mr. K. At our meeting with Mr. A in the spring of 1929, Kalinnikov informed him of this. At the same time I gave the instructions... to work out the diversionssin the power stations... . technically in accordance with Kalinnikov’s list, to carry out the work in agreement with Kalinnikov. This was then done. (Statement on the 3ist October 1930.) And finally: “With regard to transport, the diversion tasks consisted in the destruction of the rail- way conections between the most important districts. It was planned to cut connections by creating artificial congestions with various means and in extreme cases by the destruc- tion of railway works....At the same time Laritchev received instructions to deal with the question of diversions in the heat-pro- ducing industry.....” (Statement of the 31st. October 1930.) With regard to the military counter revo- lutionary work, the indictment limits itself, for the considerations mentioned previously, to pointing out that instructions were given from abroad and that, according to the con- ; fessions of the accused, these instructions were accepted by them for execution. For instance Tcharnovsky declares on the 16th of October 1930: | The Treasonable Work of the Central Committee of the Industrial Party in the Red Army. “On the basis of the instructions received by Ramzin from’ the Trade and Industrial Committee and through its mediation from French military experts instructions which were later supplemented, Ramzin presented the members of the Central Committee of the Industrial Party in autumn 1929 with a provisional plan for a military organization of the Industrial Party. Later he presented a plan worked out by him in detail. “I was able to learn of Ramzin only the. outlines of this -plan during a discussion which took place in Kalinnikov’s office before the arrest of Chrennikov in the spring of 1929 or at the beginning of 1930, This military organization .Wwas to._serve diversionak purposes at the mo- ment of an intervention, to support insurrec- tions and to occupy important’ transport points, ete,” ‘nh hide of te Bus of etober 890 3930 “ Laritehéy. deciated, referring to - matter: “rowards tt end of 2926 Raisin informed Ww thet:.. wat woah fot tbe libel Sect bad prepecation of as inlerrention recent, and reseed to ene the wor ee rs .® military nucleus ini the Ind ‘The tas of this nucleus was ‘emai of drawing up detailed reports of the position: sin’ the various units of the Red Army, these | Feperts to be forwarded to the foreign Gen- Léeral Staffs; and chiefly to wie willitary ex- perts for the preparation ef the interventiot by working to hindér the technical and po- litica? trairiing of the army amd to farther its demoralization.” The instructions of Mr. K. concerning the support of the prepartion far an intervention fron a military point of view were presented, according to a statement of Kalinnikev, by Laritchev, “at the next session of the Central Committee of the Industrial Party at the be- ginning of Jamwary 1930 in the presence of Ramzin, Tcharnévsky and myself (Kalin- nikey).” “At this session the Central Committee of the Industrial Party adopted its last de- cision in conection with the intervention.

The finaneing of the sabotage group was carried out through the samé connections.

This is also confirmed by Lafitchev. The money came as can be seen, not only from the Trade and Industrial Committee, but also | from official French circies. Conclusions The criminal activity of the C. C. of the Industrial Party against the State found its expression during thé last twO years in: a.) In the continuation and the strength- ening of the géneral sabotaging work to dis- organize ecohomic life—work which had been begun by fhe Bngineering and Teehnical Committee before the formation of the C. C.: of the Industrial Party; b.) In the special sabotage work to destroy the systematic constructional work by caus- ing crises in the fuel supply, thé metal sup- ply, the power, the textile and other indus- tries, with a view to effécting a genéral eco- nomic crisis in 1930—the year fixed for a foreign military intervention—in order to facilitate and suport this intervention; c.) In the special spionage work at the instructions of the French General Staff and of the Trade and Industrial Committee which has its venue in France—this work consisted in giving information concerning the eco- ; nomic situatoin. of our country, and in giving ik special secret Jailitary information conce! ing. our defense system with i vow to fecill: same | fating a military intervention on the part of foreign powers; @.) in. nillitary work which Was directed te deihoralizing the Red Arniy and preparing in: | trenéoneble acte oh the part Of tovividual untfs shd their comrhanders—eleo with ne view had inahtioniog a foreign intervention. €.) if work for the creation of diversions, directed im particular ‘to the destruction of the productive forcés of Soviet industry and | te disorganization of the hinterland of the Red Army at the moment of actual inter- | véntion.

That they, after having joined at varie ous times the sabotage organizations in the various branches of industry and set theme selves the aim of damaging economic cone struction in the Soviet Union through various forms of sabotage, of undermining the Soe viet power and creating the preliminary cone ditions for the restoration of the power of the bourgeoisie, did conduct such activity for years and join together for this purpose on the initiative of one, Palchinski since executed for participating in counter-reve olutionary organization and for conducting sabotage, and of one, Rabinovich, convicted ‘ and sentenced in the Shakhty trial for sabo- tage, in a central organization which they ! termed “The Engineering and Technical Cen- tral Committee”-and which had as its aim | the organization of sabotage in all branches ' of industry. 2. That they, after had convinced themselves in view of the increasing success of the socialist constructive work, of the fruit lessness of their attempts to prevent the said constructive -work, and restore the economic and political power of the bourgeoisie by acts of sabotage alone, and after they had come to the conclusion that armed force was nee cessary for the overthrow of the Soviet power and the restoration of the capitalist order of socjety, did reorganize themselves with this end in view in a political party which they termed, “The Industrial Party”; that they extended the activity of their organization by taking up connections with other organie zations which were formed at that time, and in partichldr with the counter-revolutionary Kondratyev—Tchayanov group;; that they they took over thé leadership of the Industrial — Party and became members of its.
