Discrepancy within Dates

• There seems to be quite a discrepancy in the information: the verdict was announced at 23:35 on July 11, 1937, and the convicted were ordered to be executed immediately. Therefore there have been discrepancies in various sources as to the exact date of death of Tukhachevsky and others: June 11 vs. June 12. Note that June and July are one month separate. Exactly in which month did they get that conviction. Darkhooda 22:23, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing this. June. Mikkalai 03:04, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

• It might be worthwhile to better explain Yakov Garmanik's role in this incident. He was called upon to be part of the court to judge the accused, but insisted upon Tukhachevsky's innocence and then committed suicide when it became evident that he, too, would be arrested for what he had said. It was only after all this that he was added to the list of military conspirators. (The Great Terror, p.200-201) Silence

A small discrepancy in the names, and a query

Kashirin's name (3rd paragraph) in Russian is given in the order last name/given name/patronymic, unlike its English transliteration and unlike the other Russian names in this article, which are given in the same order as in the English: given name (or its initial)/patronymic (or its initial)/last name. I think we should make it conform to the rest, and especially to its English transliteration.

The Russian name of the military-judicial "Special Session" would translate as "Special XXX Session" (where XXX is an adjective that I don't know how to translate, unfortunately). But no doubt someone else can fill in the missing word so that we can render the term in English as precisely as it is given in the Russian.

I personally think the language in the final section of this article is a tad...enflamed...for an encyclopedia.

Civil War

I have a real problem with this article. There has never been any proof that the officer were in league with the Nazis - although there had been contacts between the Soviets and the Weimar Republic's Reichswehr, looking at co-operation in reasearch in areas like tanks. The other thing is that Stalin's role in the Civil War put him up against Tuchachevsky several times - including the disaster at the Battle of Warsaw, which Stalin screwed up.
