It is possible that the doomed Bukharin’s letter, in which he compared himself to Michael Andreas Barclay de Tolly, infuriated Stalin to such an extent that he alluded to this text in his article written almost ten years after Bukharin’s execution, and published “Otvet tovarishchu Razinu” on the tenth anniversary of Bukharin’s arrest.
