The Soviet Union's Ukraine Show Trials

Did you know the Soviet Union's first show trial was in Ukraine? It happened in 1930 in Kharkiv against the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine and resulted in the guilty sentence of 45 Ukrainian intellectuals. It became the basis of all other show trials which also included those in the 1940s, primarily of western Ukrainians who were part of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. Find out why they happened and what evidence was actually used against these Ukrainians in this latest episode of Wandering the Edge!
