Trial Of The Socialist Revolutionaries
The Trial of the Socialist Revolutionaries was an internationally publicized political trial in Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, Soviet Russia, which brought twelve prominent members of the anti-Bolshevik Socialist Revolutionary Party, Party of Socialist Revolutionaries (PSR) before the bar. The trial, which took place in Moscow from June 8 to August 7, 1922, was ordered by Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin and is regarded as a precursor to the later show trials during the regime of Joseph Stalin. The Bolshevik Central Committee had confirmed the verdict for the SR defendants to be executed but only on the condition they refused to abandon armed struggles in relation to "conspiratorial, terrorist, and espionage activities". Owing in great measure to international pressure, the death sentences rendered in the trial were subsequently commuted, although none of the defendants would ultimately survive the Great Purge, Great Terror under Stalin during the late 1930s.
