Soviet Russia will conquer all the millions of problems that stand
in its way, on one condition: as long as the cause of the political
education of the broad masses of the people continually advances.
We have nothing to be afraid of, if our people fully learns to
distinguish who are its friends and who are its enemies. The trial
of the Socialist Revolutionaries must and shall be a great step
forward in the cause of the political instruction of the very
broadest masses in town and country. (Grigorii Zinov'ev, Pravda and
Krasnaia gazeta, 20 June 1922) For my part, I considered this trial
to be unnecessary: the Socialist Revolu tionaries had been beaten
and represented no visible danger at all. (Charles Rappoport, Ma
vie, Paris 1926-1927, Vol. 2, p. 80) The Bolsheviks seized power in
Russia in October 1917 by staging a coup d'etat, and then
established a dictatorship. The new rulers sup pressed all armed
resistance in a bloody civil war, after which they made every
effort to uproot and exterminate even peaceful political opposition
of all kinds. Even now it is impossible in the Soviet Union to
subject these developments to critical historical study. The
political opponents of the Soviet regime of the time are still
regarded by official Soviet his toriography as
counter-revolutionaries and the measures taken against them are
seen as completely justified."
