Often this term is used to describe the years of the late 1930's in the Soviet Union. Stalin undertook a policy of purging the Party of all Communists he suspected were traitors to the Soviet Union or were plotting against him. The purges were horrible, and all "traitors" who went on mock trials all were found guilty. Later in the memoirs of Nikita Khrushchev, he recalls speaking to his friends about the curiosity of all the communists who were tried, none were ever found innocent. Khrushchev also reveals that he played a big part in the purges and signed off on over 40,000 death sentences for "disloyal communists".

What did Leon Trotsky believe about the Piatakov Radek purge trials in Moscow?
In 1937, Leon Trotsky was in exile and his anti-Stalin writings were note worthy for Marxists world wide. In earlier comments about certain purge trials, often times the Communist victims were people that Stalin accused of inciting internal terror and were engaged in activities against the people of the Soviet Union. This would be a recurring theme of many of the purges against Stalin's perceived enemies. And worse, enemies of Marxism-Leninism.With the Communist leaders of Piatakov and Radek, the radius of their criminality reached around the world. These types of trials came under the heading of Soviet communists that had forged an alliance with Trotsky, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Their purpose was the sabotage of Soviet industries, and the extermination of loyal workers all in preparation for a war against the USSR. Of course Trotsky was outraged that he and communists in the USSR that had been his friends, were now in an alliance, not with so-called left wing communists but in alliance with fascist and fascist-Imperial nations, such as that with Japan.
