Speech by Stalin regarding Trotskyism
But here is the question—how to carry out in practice the task ot smashing and uprooting the German-Japanese agents of Trotskyism? Does this mean that we should strike and uproot not only the real Trotskyists, hut also those who wavered at some time toward Trotskyism, and then long ago came away from Trotskyism; not only those who are really Trotskyist agents for wrecking, but also those who happened once upon a time to go along a street where some Trotskyist or other had once passed? At any rate such voices were heard at the plenum. Can we consider such an interpretation of the resolution to be correct? No, we can not consider it correct.
On this question, as on all other questions, there must he an individual, differentiated approach….


Page 220

Among our responsible comrades, there are a certain number of former Trotskyists who left Trotskyism long ago, and now fight against Trotskyism not worse, but better than some of our respected comrades who never chanced toward Trotskyism. It would be foolish to vilify such comrades now.
Quoted in ibid., 145. On familyness, see Harris, Great Urals.
