Under violent interrogation, many were forced to confess to crimes they did not commit. Rather than save their lives, as the interrogators had promised, confession was usually the last step to their execution. Very few of those arrested eventually refused to confess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOleksandr Shums´kyi, the Ukrainian Marxist revolutionary, was one of the most important but least known of them. He not only refused to confess but sustained for over a decade a massive protest against his repression and the Stalinist attack on his country, Ukraine. Stalin punished him mercilessly in response, paralyzing him in jail and murdering his wife, but refrained from assassinating him for more than ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStalin’s Liquidation Game\u003c\/em\u003e unravels the Shum´skyi riddle to explain why.
