Talk:Leningrad affair

Thank you, Mikkalai
Thank you, Míkka, for your corrections and updates. This part of the Soviet history is little known to the world, because it was kept secret due to its serious threat to the central Soviet leadership in Moscow. Most of my knowledge about this came in the 1990s, after the collapse of the USSR, when my parents revealed that several of my relatives were arrested, executed and died during the dictatorship of Stalin. Now I got documents about my arrested and executed relatives, as well as about some other people; this knowledge had greatly increased my awareness of some less known history of the Soviet era. Thank you again. Regards, Steveshelokhonov 18:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Style cleanup
This article has been written in a very poor and informal style, apparently worded with a heavy emotional bias against the Soviet government. Phrases like "paranoid" (wtf??), "attacked as part of a series of well-prepared attacks", "the aging Stalin maintained his rigid and restrictive dictatorship", "Stalin's army of lawyers and politicians", "paranoia", etc should never be used in an encyclopedia. 75.63.232.88 (talk) 10:24, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Why don't you fix at least some of the most evident problem? It is very easy to shove one's nose into mistakes. Wikipedians are not professional hired hands to make you 100% happy. Say thank you for what people have done before and then help to make it better. Of course, tagging is appreciated: it brings an attention, but was it so difficult to delete the word "paranoid", since you had time and skill to write the above? `'Míkka>t 17:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

More detail
I want more detail. The German and Russian articles are longer. A wide variety of reasons has been given for Stalin's shooting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.71.78 (talk) 13:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC) Pessimistic predictions, that the economy of Western Europe would be re-built on capitalist lines, might have been one of Stalin's reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.42.37 (talk) 15:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * A prediction that the Soviet economy would not continue with the recovery from the War as fast as was thought
 * might also have been viewed as treason by Stalin.

Use Google Translator to read the Russian article. The difference is like night and day with this one.Buen Ciudadano (talk) 16:50, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I suspect that unless you read Stalin’s mind, you do not know what he suspected. catsmoke (talk) 06:05, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

The cases were not fabricated
The cases were not fabricated, the cases were real. The charges were real as well. Perhaps the evidence was fabricated. I am not a lawyer (nor do I play one on t.v.) and so I do not know the best way to correct this misstatement. catsmoke (talk) 06:08, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
