Stalins Liquidation Game - The Unlikely Case of Oleksandr Shumskyi, His Survival in Soviet

Millions of innocent people were arrested in Stalin's Soviet Union during the 1930s and forced to confess to crimes they did not commit. Oleksandr Shums¿kyi, the Ukrainian Marxist revolutionary, was one of the few to have refused and to protest. Stalin's Liquidation Game opens a window into understanding Soviet repression in the Ukraine.
