Similarly, Thurston suggests that ``it is possible that occasionally Stalin saw individual confessions.'' But we know he saw them -- for example, between September 1936 and February 1937, he received sixty protocols of the interrogations of various suspects. Again, a striking document lately published in Moscow (Rossiyskaya Gazeta, January 26, 1996) gives an account by Lev Sheinin, Vyshinsky's deputy and his chief ``investigator,'' of ``Specially Important Cases.'' He describes the Bukharin investigation as taking place under Stalin's ``direct control,'' and writes that Stalin ``directly controlled the case in the smallest detail,'' giving daily instructions to Yezhov and Vyshinsky, and editing all the ``documents.'' Another archival discovery printed with this shows Stalin's changes in the testimony of the accused, including severe editing of Bukharin's final speech before it went into its printed version.

Занимательно. У кого-нибудь есть эл. версия?
