Stalin believed that an international trial for Nazi war criminals was the best way to show the world the sacrifices his country had made to defeat Hitler, and he, together with his legal mouthpiece Andrei Vyshinsky, maintained tight control over Soviet representatives during talks leading up to the creation of the Nuremberg IMT trial in 1945, and the trial itself. But Soviet prosecutors at Nuremberg were unable to deal comfortably with the complexities of an open, western-style legal proceeding, which undercut their effectiveness throughout the trial. However, they were able to present a significant body of evidence that underscored the brutal nature of Hitler's racial war in Russia from 1941-45, a theme which became central to Stalin's efforts to redefine international criminal law after the war. Stalin's Soviet Justice provides a nuanced analysis of the Soviet justice system at a crucial turning point in European history and it will be vital reading for scholars and advanced students of the legal history of the Soviet Union, the history of war crimes and the aftermath of the Second World War. 611 27 $a Nuremberg Trial of Major German War Criminals (Germany : 1945-1946) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01709901 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z Soviet Union. 650 0 $a Nuremberg Trial of Major German War Criminals, Nuremberg, Germany, 1945-1946. 650 0 $a War crime trials $z Nuremberg $z Nuremberg $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a War (International law) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Law $z Soviet Union. 650 0 $a International criminal law $z Soviet Union. 650 0 $a Law $x Political aspects $z Soviet Union. 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Politics and government $y 1936-1953. 650 7 $a International criminal law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01784719 650 7 $a Law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993678 650 7 $a Law $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993795 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a War crime trials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170459 650 7 $a War (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170412 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a Germany $z Nuremberg. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207726 651 7 $a Soviet Union. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210281 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Crowe, David, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318011839.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36F81D2E0CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
