Executive summary: Soviet theoretical economist "If I'm to receive the death sentence, then I implore you beforehand, I entreat you, by all that you hold dear, not to have me shot. Let me drink poison in my cell instead. For me, this point is extremely important. I don't know what words I should summon up in order to entreat you to grant me this as an act of charity. Politically, it won't really matter, and, besides, no one will know a thing about it. Have pity on me! Surely you'll understand, knowing me as well as you do. Sometimes I look death openly in the face, just as I know very well that I am capable of brave deeds. At other times, I find myself in such disarray that I am drained of all strength. So if the verdict is death, let me have a cup of morphine. I implore you [...] Farewell forever and remember kindly your wretched Nikolai Bukharin." -- A letter to Stalin composed in his cell awaiting trial, 10 Dec 1937. Father: Ivan (teacher)
