  • Descrição: Hannah Arendt often distinguished between the loyalty of Nazi officials to Hitler’s politically anti-Semitic ideology and that of Bolsheviks to the omniscience and omnipotence of the Communist Party. The moment Hitler died, she said, there was not an anti-Semite to be found in all of Germany. That was laced with sarcasm, of course. But during the Moscow trials, in sharp contrast, the men Stalin accused of betraying the Party were called upon to confess their guilt out of loyalty to the Party; some were tortured before confessing, to be sure. But what is crucial is that the condition under which the show trials could be convened was the identification of the all-knowing party and its offspring, the all-powerful state, with Stalin. His victims-to-be, many of whom had cooperated with him in purging any vestiges of the spirit of revolutionary freedom from the party’s platform, would be called upon or coerced to forfeit not only their own lives but also often the lives of their families, just as they themselves had sacrificed the lives and families of those they regarded as “class enemies” in establishing the one-party state in the first place. Stalin’s victims maintained their loyalty, the only “virtue” left them—if that’s what it is—to the Party, to the “truth” of historical necessity.
