formation-chekas-one-gravest-impermissible-errors-bolshevik-leaders-1918-plots

All evidence indicates that revolutionary tribunals, functioning in the light of day and admitting the right of defence, would have attained the same efficiency with far less abuse and depravity. Was it necessary to revert to the procedures of the Inquisition?
