The Trial of Bukharin George Katkov
Bukharin’s trial is perhaps the most remarkable case of legal coercion of our time.
Bukharin was a trusted supporter of Stalin and ‘the favorite son of the Party’. But the Marxist theory of law to which he gave his devotion declared that the law was only an instrument in the class struggle, a revolutionary weapon to bring about the desired historical changes.

And so, at the time of the great purges, Bukharin was tried also. The charges against him and the ‘Bloc of Rightists and Trotskyites’ ranged from conspiracy with foreign powers to terrorism, assassination, and a projected coup d`etat. None of these accusations were ever satisfactorily proved, nor could they be - the real reason behind the trial was Stalin’s paranoiac fear of opposition and its real object to justify Stalin’s pose as the champion of true Communism against reactionary ‘enemies of the people’.

Katkov’s remarkable book is, however, much more than a record of Bukharin’s trial. It gives us, first, the sense of Bukharin through his formative years so that we may understand the man. And it gives us Bukharin’s trial in the context of all of the great purge trials, that phenomenon which remains the most characteristic expression of what is now the longest lived dictatorship of the twentieth century. In The Trial of Bukharin we see the revolution eating its children, with the center spotlight on its proudest son.

Uhićen je 1937. i u tzv. trećem trocističkom procesu 1938. u Moskvi osuđen na smrt. Jedan od najistaknutijih marksističkih teoretičara. Posmrtno rehabilitiran 1988.
