Editing Soviet Union (section)

==== Evidence ====
Trotsky went before the Dewey Commission in America to claim that he knew nothing about the Moscow Trials, and they were all a sham. But this was a lie.

J. Arch Getty discovered letter receipts between Trotsky and Soviet opposition leaders. But the contents of the letters were destroyed by the managers of the Trotsky archive at Harvard University.

By this point, the opposition members had clearly learned to avoid written evidence as much as possible. They were Old Bolsheviks, and the Bolsheviks had done the same thing under Tsarism, using only word of mouth. Therefore, the evidence for conspiracy becomes sparse, and Western historians can deny it.

But Grover Furr has unearthed some written evidence that the opposition was plotting terrorist attacks, confirming the allegations made at the Moscow Trials.<ref name=":3">Grover Furr, The Moscow Trials as Evidence. https://michaelharrison.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/The-Moscow-Trials-as-Evidence-by-Grover-Furr.pdf</ref> Grover Furr also proved that they were working with Nazi Germany and Japan.<ref>Grover Furr, Evidence of Trotsky's Collaboration with Germany and Japan.https://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/clogic/article/download/191550/188662/217137</ref>
