toilers against direct their gaze
toward the Party, toward Stain
and unanimously demanded that
the government m e tie out a
stern punishment to these das-
tardlv and repulsive miScreants.
Mercilessly to crush the counter
revolution, which has raised its hand
against the leaders of the Party,
against the Socialist fatherland--
such is the menacing resounding
echo of the voice of tens Of millions
of people.
Resolution Demands Shooting
The workers of the Moscow fac
tory, 'Krasni Proletari." expressing
the general opinion of the toilers Of
the country, state in their resolu-
ton:
1--WE demand the shooting of the
murderers of Kirov, of these per-
sons who have sunk to treachery to
the fatherland and to terror BY the
murder OF Kirov they have attempt
ed to bring about a change in the
present policy of the Party, in the
spirit of the so-called zinoviev-
Trotzkyite platform
The essence of this platform is
well-known from the entire history
of the struggle Of the former
ZinoVieV- Trotzkyite opp oSitlon
against the Party. This was the
platform denying the possibility OF
the construction of socialism in the
U. S. S. r This was the platform
of capitulation to the bourgeoisie.
The realization Of this platform
would have signified the loss of all
the gains of the revolution and the
restoration of the capitalists and
| landlords, The former zinoviev-
Trotzkyite opposition repeatedly
attempted to push the Party from
the path along which Lenin and
Stain led it to victory. In this att
tempt the Zinovievites made unpre-
cedented contemplate attacks
against the Party, encouraging a
third force, namely the relics of the
bourgeoisie and the kulaks, with
hopes for the collapse and the
weakening of the Party, for UNDER
mining socialist construction. Each
time, after each defeat, the Zino-
vievites expressed repentance,
promised to remain loyal to the
Party, to fight for its line and
observe its discipline. But they
always broke these promises in the
most disgusting manner. They re-
newed their treacherous activity
against the Party and the Soviet
Government, thus encouraging and
melting the most cowardly deeds
among the worst of their colleagues.
who went as far as white-fascist
terrorism and foul murderous at
tacks upon the best individuals
among the working class.
Masses Rally Around Party
For this reason the toiling masses
of the U. S. S. R. cannot speak
calmly of the former zinoviev-
Trotzkyite opposition. For this
reason the masses hurl curses at
those who nourished this gang Of
| frantic enemies OF the socialist
fatherland. The toilers of the So-
Wet Union, who are overjoyed at
every success of their great and
powerful country, are filled with
anxiety toward it and are merciless
toward its enemies. The whole
idea of their struggle is to remain
faithful, to the last drop of their
blood, to the cause of socialism,
courageously and tirelessly to inn
prove the life of the people, to
make it happy and abundant and
to infect the pedestrians of all
capitalist countries with their ex-
ample.
The dastardly murder of Kirov
still further increases the love Of
the toiling masses for their Social.
list land, still closer rallies them
around the Party. around the great
Stain, still stronger awakens in
them the feelings of vigilance and
watchfulness towards the class
enemy, toward all relics of de-
feated anti-soviet groups. In reply
to the enemys onslaught, the crea-
tive enthusiasm of the toilers of the
U. S. S. r. rises stronger and their
labor in behalf OF the socialist
fatherland will become still more
powerful.
