EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures a significant moment in history during the infamous show trials that took place in Russia. The image features all of the accused individuals, both Soviet and British, standing together in the trial dock. Among them are Allan Monkhouse, Leslie Thornton, Gregory, William MacDonald, Cushing, and Nordwall. The photograph serves as a haunting reminder of the dark era of espionage and political persecution that plagued the Soviet Union during this time. These trials were part of a larger purge carried out by the government to eliminate perceived threats within various industries. Metropolitan Vickers, also known as Metrovick or Metrovik but not to be confused with the company itself mentioned earlier in brackets), is prominently associated with this trial. As engineers involved with Metropolitan Vickers faced accusations related to their work for foreign powers. The atmosphere surrounding this image is charged with tension and fear as these individuals face an uncertain fate at the hands of an unforgiving regime. It encapsulates one aspect of what became known as "the Great Terror" where countless lives were destroyed or lost due to political purges orchestrated by Joseph Stalin's government. This powerful print offers viewers a glimpse into a tumultuous period marked by suspicion and betrayal while serving as a stark reminder of how politics can shape destinies.
