George Katkov, Fellow of St Antony's College Oxford, presents a meticulous and authoritative reconstruction of the proceedings, unmasking the mechanisms of Soviet political terror and the psychological warfare deployed to extract false confessions. Drawing on a sophisticated network of decorative deceit in words and actions, Katkov argues that Bukharin's capitulation was itself a final, coded act of defiance — a subversive signature hidden within his submission. Written with the precision of a scholar and the tension of a courtroom drama, this work stands as an essential document for understanding the brutality and ideological machinery of Stalinist Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956301607131,"sku":"2026200008183-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f1f57554-5140-467c-80c5-26a7912ac1db.png?v=1783499440","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008183-secondhand-the-trial-of-bukharin","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
