Although the Great Purges in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin are best remembered for the Moscow Trials, show trials in which the court became a parody of justice, most of the victims of the Terror were tried in secret.
Meskipun Pembersihan Besar-Besaran di Uni Soviet semasa Josef Stalin adalah contoh yang paling diingat untuk Pengadilan Moskwa, pengadilan terbuka di mana meja hijau menjadi parodi keadilan, sebagian besar korban teror itu diadili secara rahasia.
