• Sommario/riassunto: The Accused by Alexander Weissberg is a first-hand account of the harrowing experiences endured during the Great Purge in Soviet Russia. Weissberg, an Austrian scientist and Communist Party member, was arrested in 1937 under false charges of plotting terrorist acts against Stalin and others. The book reveals the inner workings of the Soviet terror regime, focusing on the methods used to extract confessions for fabricated crimes. Weissberg's narrative provides a vivid depiction of life inside the political prisons and the psychological torment faced by prisoners. His story is not only a personal testimony but also an exploration of the broader mechanisms of oppression within the Soviet Union. The book is intended for readers interested in Soviet history, political repression, and the human capacity for endurance and resistance under extreme circumstances.
