From the 'show' trials of the 1920s and 1930s to the London
Conference, this book examines the Soviet role in the Nuremberg IMT
trial through the prism of the ideas and practices of earlier
Soviet legal history, detailing the evolution of Stalin's ideas
about the trail of Nazi war criminals. Stalin believed that an
international trial for Nazi war criminals was the best way to show
the world the sacrifices his country had made to defeat Hitler, and
he, together with his legal mouthpiece Andrei Vyshinsky, maintained
tight control over Soviet representatives during talks leading up
to the creation of the Nuremberg IMT trial in 1945, and the trial
itself. But Soviet prosecutors at Nuremberg were unable to deal
comfortably with the complexities of an open, western-style legal
proceeding, which undercut their effectiveness throughout the
trial. However, they were able to present a significant body of
evidence that underscored the brutal nature of Hitler's racial war
in Russia from 1941-45, a theme which became central to Stalin's
efforts to redefine international criminal law after the war.
Stalin's Soviet Justice provides a nuanced analysis of the Soviet
justice system at a crucial turning point in European history and
it will be vital reading for scholars and advanced students of the
legal history of the Soviet Union, the history of war crimes and
the aftermath of the Second World War.
