Great Purge - Trial of the Admirals

The investigation into the Trotskyist center inside the military has clearly shown that it is particularly well-entrenched in the Navy. Most if not all of the Admirals in the Navy are deeply suspect, having had the opportunity to conspire with foreign elements while deployed abroad. So far, every higher-ranking Admiral arrested by the NKVD has confessed to very severe crimes, including espionage and sabotage, after only a few days of interrogation. With more and more Navy officers implicated in this conspiracy, it is clear that rooting it out will require a very thorough investigation.
