...grim axiom of Soviet trials is "They Always Confess." Last week that axiom again proved sound in Leningrad where Joseph Stalin was having privately polished off a group of redoubtable Old Bolsheviks-some older than Stalin in the Communist aristocracy founded by Nikolai Lenin...
...Dear Friend Sergei" Kirov (TIME, Dec. 10). Last week Judge Ulrich arrived in Leningrad in the midst of exceedingly select Communist company-including such prisoners as Comrade Lev Kamenev (brother-in-law of Great Exile Trotsky) and Comrade Grigory Zinoviev, famed "Bomb Boy of Bolshevism," and personal bodyguard of Lenin during the late Dictator's years of exile...
Zinoviev was with Lenin in the famed "sealed car" that brought them from Switzerland to start Russia's revolution. Later Comrade Zinoviev, raised by Dictator Lenin to head the Third International (Moscow's permanent base of operations for fomenting the World Revolution of the World Proletariat), was indirectly the cause of turning out James Ramsay MacDonald's first Labor Cabinet when British Conservatives published the notorious "Zinoviev Letter" (TIME, Dec. 1, 1924).

After them was the chairman of the Third International, Moscow's still extant organization for promoting the World Revolution of the World Proletariat. In those days Promoter Zinoviev had plenty of money. He poured millions into the treasuries of English trade unions. Probably he did not write the notorious Zinoviev Letter, purporting to "instruct" Laborite (i.e. Socialist) officials of James Ramsay MacDonald's first Cabinet (TIME...
