The Trial of the Socialist Revolutionary Party

On may 20 third, 19 22, the seven week investigation concluded with a 117 page indictment. Indictment read far more like a political polemic than a legal document. Former s rs who had already reconciled with the communists wrote pieces in the newspaper admitting their former errors and generally encouraging their former comrades to abandon the old party. In the end, the indictment named 34 total defendants, 30 men and four women; abram gotts as the most widely recognizable name on the list.
