...drastic nature of Stalin's recent "purge." Notably missing from this new Cabinet was Commissar for Justice Nikolai Vasilievich Krylenko, the pouncing prosecutor of early Moscow purge trials. Successor to Krylenko is Judge Nikolai Richkov, who sat on the bench which condemned to death famed Old Bolsheviks Piatakov, Kamenev and Zinoviev. Named new chief of the Caspian-i. e., No. 1 maker of five-year-plans-was Nikolai Voznesensky, formerly vice-commissar under famed Commissar Valery Mezhlauk...
...Heavy Industry he was called "The World's Biggest Businessman." Certainly he was one of J. Stalin's two or three closest friends. The recent trial shifted any blame for the present lagging of Soviet Heavy Industry from Ordzhonikidze to the "Trotskyism" of his Vice-Commissar, Grigoriy Piatakov, who was sentenced to death. Piatakov was not only one of the very biggest Reds but a warm and human character by comparison with the cold, brusque Ordzhonikidze. Russia has long been a land of personal vengeance and Piatakov was the kind of man whose Russian friends would risk their...
...Extradite Trotsky!" Old Bolsheviks taken from the prisoners' dock last week to Ogpu subterranean cellars, whence their execution was announced by the Government after 60 hours, were all ace-high Communists only in Russia, scarcely famed abroad. The execution this week of Grigoriy Piatakov, Vice-Commissar for Heavy Industry, after his super-sabotage confession, leaves Dictator Stalin's "Dear Friend Grigoriy" Ordzhonikidze Commisar for Heavy Industry, vindicated in the Soviet press for Heavy Industry's having fallen behind the Five-Year Plan. Other confessions and executions of the week vindicated virtually all Russia's thousands...

Davies (see p. 17): 1) Leonid Petrovich Serebriakov, who from 1919 to 1921 held Stalin's present post, Secretary General of the Communist Party, and in 1929 was president in Manhattan of the Soviet trade monopoly Amtorg Trading Corp.; 2) Grigoriy Piatakov, until recently Vice-Commissar for Heavy Industry under one of Stalin's greatest cronies, Commissar for Heavy Industry Grigoriy Ordzhonikidze, whose department has made headlines by lagging behind the current Five-Year Plan; 3) Grigoriy Sokolnikov, once Vice-Commissar of Foreign Affairs and onetime Soviet Ambassador to the Court of St. James...
...charges and confessions in matching pairs. Confessions. Radek last week confessed that he helped assassinate in Leningrad two years ago Stalin's famed "Dear Friend Sergei" Kirov (TIME, Dec. 10, 1934 et seq.), adding: "We decided to kill enough leaders from Stalin down to bring about a coup."Piatakov and Radek joined in confessing they sabotaged the work of Stalin's "Dear Friend Grigoriy" Ordzhonikidze, so that Heavy Industry has fallen behind the Soviet Plan. Piatakov, extending his confession into what became a lecture, told of alighting at Berlin's Tempelhof Field, being supplied with a forged...
