The Trial of the Socialist Revolutionaries

The trial of the socialist revolutionaries has pushed aside all other life in russia apart from this trial. The bolsheviks appear to have no needs, no cares at all. Despite what they had been told before the trial, this was not a regular legal proceeding in the sense of trying to prove guilt or innocence. It was a spectacle with an almost certainly preordained outcome, deployed in the service of political propaganda. In short, the leviathan has thrown itself into the fight against the handful of socia Is revolutionary bandits.
