A gripping work of Cold War non-fiction, The USSR Versus Dr Mikhail Stern chronicles the politically charged show trial of a Jewish physician in Soviet Ukraine, exposing the machinery of state repression at its most calculated and brutal. Edited by August Stern and translated from the Russian by Marco Carynnyk, the book presents a detailed account of the fabricated charges, coerced testimonies, and institutional antisemitism that condemned an innocent man. The narrative uncovers how ordinary Soviet citizens were weaponised by the state against one of their own, illustrating the pervasive culture of fear and conformity that defined life under the USSR. Written with the urgency of a legal document and the moral weight of a human rights testament, it stands as a damning indictment of Soviet justice and a vital historical record of persecution behind the Iron Curtain.
