Kopsavilkums

This essay is an abridged and revised excerpt from the book The House of Government: A Saga of the Russian Revolution. It deals with the reactions to mass arrests of 1937–1938 within the House of Government in Moscow, including silence, vigilance, book-burning, soul-searching, and self-sacrifice. The central questions have to do with the puzzle of what constituted moral behavior, what was meant by loyalty and betrayal, and who, and why, could be considered a “good person.”
