ABSTRACT

Marshal Voroshilov had been a close associate of Stalin during the Civil War. Promoted to marshal of the Soviet Union in 1935, he was one of two marshals who survived the purges. All of the Red Army can breathe easier, on learning of the well-deserved sentence of the court for the traitors and of the carrying out of the just sentence. The vile traitors who so foully betrayed their own Government, people and Army, have been destroyed. To the ranks of those, having remained undiscovered, traitors and betrayers can be added also members of counterrevolutionary bands of spies and conspirators building their nest in the Red Army. The former Deputy People's Commissar of Defense Gamarnik, traitor and coward, afraid to stand before the court of the Soviet people, committed suicide.
