Being an official prosecutor at the Stalinist political processes of the 10ths, Vyshinsky had an opinion that the principle of a complete and comprehensive study of evidence could not be applied to the so -called “cases of the state conspiracy”.

The Chairman of the People's Judicial Chamber in Nazi Germany Roland Freisler took Vyshinsky’s activities as a sample. During the processes on cases of treason, Vyshinsky was extremely rude and used excessively offensive and humiliating human dignity of expression in his accusatory speeches. Alexander Orlov, who was an assistant to the prosecutor in the Supreme Court, in his memoirs published in his “secret history of Stalinist crimes” explained this behavior of Vyshinsky ...

by his desire to “survive”. According to the “Secret History of Stalinist crimes”, Vyshinsky, being a general prosecutor, as an experienced prosecutor, did not see any objective evidence of the fault of the defendants, moreover, he was generally unknown to the details of the investigation. The only task that the NKVD leadership clearly set him was to conduct the process as believable as possible.

To this end, Vyshinsky was opened only by the circumstances of the case that he needed at all costs to avoid at the hearing. If you believe such a version, Vyshinsky was just an actor masterfully playing a role. Knowing that in front of him in the bench of the defendants, innocent people, who inevitably await the execution in the cellars of the NKVD, he could only play, convincing the world community of proved their guilt, eloquently proving the need for the death execution of the accused.
