Trial by System
In a Russian show trial in the Court of the Supreme Soviet, Moscow, in 1938, Nikolai Bukharin and 20 other leading Communists were charged with plotting, economic sabotage, assassination, terrorism and spying. Like all the defendants, Bukharin pleaded guilty, but he then used the trial to explain his own beliefs and challenge the philosophy of Joseph Stalin. Norman Moss recreates the atmosphere of one of the most bitter of all the purge trials.
