1928: Musabekov speaks to Stalin

Remarks

↑ The novel Years of Terror by Anatoly Rybakov is a narrative analysis of the Stalin Purges . In the 11th chapter of the novel, the reader learns something about the history of Gasanfar Musabekov's shooting. Anatoly Rybakov writes: "On July 7, 1935, Stalin chaired the plenary session of the Constitutional Commission." (Rybakov, p. 123, 1. Zvo). The author echoes Stalin's thoughts during the session. Stalin considers the present Musabekov to be "unreliable" (Rybakow, p. 129, 6. Zvo) and thinks: "Everything that is potentially dangerous must be exterminated". (Rybakow, p. 129, 17. Zvo)
↑ Since a People's Commissar is a minister, “Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars” and “Prime Minister” refer to the same office.
