Chupacabra Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 IIRC during the so-called "Doctor's Plot" in 1952, one of the accusations against the accused doctors were that they were Trotsky/Kamenev/Zinovievites (since all three were basically up to the same tricks according to Stalinist propaganda). The Doctor's Plot was most likely a manifestation of Stalin's anti-Semitism. Some historians have called it Stalin's excuse for the "Final Pogrom." 6 out of the 9 doctors had recognizably Jewish names, and all were accused of working for Western intelligence agencies and Zionists to poison Stalin and his closest military and political advisors. Since Trotsky, Kamenev and Zinoviev were Jewish by birth, the propaganda machine was able to draw a link there. Remember, no one ever said Soviet propaganda made much sense. Basically this was a long-winded way of saying nah-nah ------------------ Grand Poobah of the fresh fire of Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that that's been said, best to quietly close the door on this one before we get into another "Country A was better than County B" pissing match that inevitably occurs when this is brought up.
