[SOVIET PROPAGANDA]. Moscow News Weekly Edition of Moscow Daily News. Moscow: Petrovsky Pereulok, February 3-10, 1937. Double-sized issue of this English-language version of the Moscow News, featuring “Trial of the Anti-Soviet Trotskyite Center”. Folio. [44] pages. Original newsprint issue. Approximately 444 x 290 mm. Bound into later library binding of full light-blue cloth, burgundy gilt morocco lettering label and printed paper shelf label on spine (binding sunned, soiled, labels worn and chipped, pages of newspaper with marginal tears, some soiling, inkstamps, creasing, a few tape repairs). An uncommon issue, relating a biased (pro-Stalinist) account of one of the main “Great Purge” trials of Soviet officials whom Stalin wanted to be rid of, and so were accused of being traitorous “Trotskyites”. This issue has cartoons portraying Trotsky as being a Nazi sympathizer and puppet. The sentences for the defendants are on the final few pages (most were sentenced to death, the rest were sentenced to long prison sentences).
