Part 4 of more, see my profile for previous. This is commentary on section 4 and 5 of Article 58 of the Criminal Code of 1926 in Communist Russia from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago. I'll add bold text for emphasis here and there.
"Section 4 spoke about (fantastic!) aid to the international bourgeoisie. To whom, one wonders, could this possibly refer? And yet broadly interpreted, and with the help of revolutionary conscience, it was easy to find categories: All émigrés who had left the country before 1920, i.e., several years before the Code was ever written, and whom our armies came upon in Europe a quarter-century later-- in 1944 and 1945 --received 58-4: ten years or execution, what could they have been doing abroad other than aiding the international bourgeoisie? (In the example of the young people's musical society already cited, we have seen that the international bourgeoisie could also be aided from inside the U.S.S.R.) They were, in addition, aided by all SR's, all Mensheviks (the section was drafted with them in mind), and, subsequently, by the engineers of the State Planning Commission and the Supreme Council of the Economy.
Section 5 was inciting a foreign state to declare war against the U.S.S.R. A chance was missed to apply this section against Stalin and his diplomatic and military circle in 1940-1941. Their blindness and insanity led to just that. Who if not they drove Russia into shameful, unheard-of defeats, incomparably worse than the defeats of Tsarist Russia in 1904 or 1915? Defeats such as Russia had never known since the thirteenth century. "
