EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a significant moment in history during the Metro-Vickers Show Trials that took place from April 12 to 19,1933. The image showcases Walter Duranty, positioned at the front row and center of the photograph, alongside public prosecutor Vyshinski who stands tall beside him. To Duranty's right is J. Cummings from News Chronicle, adding to the gravity of this momentous event. The Metro-Vickers Show Trials were held in Russia and revolved around charges of espionage within the Soviet Union's industrial sector. This trial played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of that era as it was part of a larger series known as the Purge Trials or Show Trials during what became known as "The Great Terror". These trials aimed to eliminate perceived threats and consolidate power under Joseph Stalin's regime. In this particular trial, engineers associated with Metropolitan Vickers faced accusations related to their work within industry. The presence of Walter Duranty and J. Cummings highlights international interest in these proceedings and underscores their significance beyond Russian borders. This print serves as a powerful reminder of an era marked by political upheaval and repression while shedding light on one chapter in Russia's complex history during the early years of Soviet rule.
