Frases de Nikolai Krylenko

Nikolai Krylenko , foi um velho bolchevique e político soviético. Exerceu uma variedade de cargos no aparato estatal soviético, chegando a ser Comissário do Povo para a Justiça da União Soviética e procurador geral da República Socialista Federativa Soviética da Rússia. Foi um importante dirigente desportivo, responsável pela promoção do apoio estatal ao xadrez na União Soviética.Krylenko foi um expoente do direito socialista e da teoria de que as condições sociais concretas deveriam orientar o direito penal, com cada caso devendo ser julgado de forma isolada, evitando-se os "conceitos da jurisprudência burguesa".. Embora tenha participado como promotor em alguns dos Julgamentos de Moscou, Krylenko foi posteriormente vítima do Grande Expurgo stalinista da década de 1930. Após interrogatório da NKVD, Krylenko "confessou" seu extenso envolvimento em atos de sabotagem e propaganda anti-soviética. Após um julgamento de 20 minutos, ele foi condenado à morte pelo Colégio Militar da Suprema Corte Soviética e executado logo em seguida. Wikipedia
