; rier EIGHT THE KEY WEST CITIZEN HOUSECLEANING OCCUR SOON IN RUSSIA Behind The — World News WALTER BREEDE, JR., Press Writer Russian government has announced that it is reviving the death penalty—in the Soviet that means the firing squad—for con- vieted spies, saboteurs and trai- tors. The Moscow government had abolished capital punishment in 1947, with the explanation that it wasn’t needed any more be- cause everybody in Russia was Stalin's friend, and all was’ sweetness and light in Russia’s internal political situation. Now there is speculation that the revival of capital punishment may set the stage for ‘another fies of the political houseclean: ! ii ing that found its expression’ in the famous Moscow trials of 1987. These were indeed strange so weird manifestations of Soviet justice. Seventeen defendants, all former Soviet leaders, were hail- ed into court. They included the brilliant Kari Radek, one time | editor of Izvestia, the official newspaper of the Soviet regime. | He and the 16 others were charg-! ed with conspiring with the ex. led Bolshevik, Leon Trotsky to overthrow the government of Josef Stalin and set up a reign of terror. Under Trotsky’s leader- ship, it was charged, they had eonnived with the Germans, the Japs and the Italian Fascists in the expect:tion those three coun- ties would go to war’ against Russia that same year. It was alleged that the defendants had; sehemed with foreign diplomats in Moscow to overthrow the Red government, end Soviet Collec- tivization and restore the Cap- italistie system. Prosecutor An- drei Vishirsky—now the’ Soviet Foreign Minister — called ' them Hars, bandits, wreckers, and the adyance guard of international Fascism. Radek’s oWn newspaper described him as’ a “writhing, hypocritical, venemous trotzkyite, concealing poison behind a flat- tering smile.” In what was later to become a commonplace prac- tice at Red treason trials, the 17 beat their breasts, proclaimed their guilt and threw themselves on the mercy of the court. Thir- teen died before a firing squad. Pour others, including Radek, sent to prison. E¥en before that, ‘the crack- down on Trotzkyism had had its aspect. ¢ first big trial of former So- #ietdleaders reached its climax in 1936, when 16 alleged plotters executed. They included Who were giants'in the So- Hierarchy before they fell from grace. The charge was the Same as that which formed the basis of the notorious 1937 trials =the crime of Trotzkyism. Trotzkyism was the great Rus- @ian bugaboo of those ‘days, oc- ying Somewhat the same posi- as Titoism does today. ‘Trot- @kyism was the -terrible heresy h threatened to undermine in’s grip on the world Com- Munist movement. It was an ob Stacle to Stalin’s political am- bitions, and it had to be cr This was done with characte thoroughness and _ brutality @rocedure in which the great Moscow trials were only a part. Trotzky himself fled into exile, finding a temporary haven in Turkestan, Istanbul, France and finally in Norway until the Nor- wegians kicked him out. He sought refuge in Mexico, where his arrival plunged the authori- ties into a state of jitters. Typical of this reaction was the attitude ef the commanding general at the Mexican Army. garrison at Tampico, where Trotzky went ashore from a tanker. yj, Ruetully. the) garrison Mander $ait “J shall never draw an easy ibebpbiy’pt wet al wiak of sleep tBntil Trotzky is Out of town.” Despite threats of Mex Gommunists, ; there lence on Trotz Mexico.
