Abstract:
Proposes another version of the Doctors' Plot of 1953. Stalin needed a pretext to deport Jews from the European part of the USSR. The Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee affair failed to give him such a pretext, so Stalin ventured another affair, that of the Doctors' Plot. Presents witness accounts supporting the version that the trial and the execution of "murderous doctors" was to be followed by the deportation of the Jews from Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, etc., to sub-Arctic regions. Marshall Georgii Zhukov was to be charged with the whole operation. After the deportation, during which most of the deportees were to die, Zhukov, whom Stalin hated, was to be accused of the crime and disgraced in the eyes of the world; Stalin, who was meant to return a small fraction of the deportees from banishment, would be seen as a savior.
