What was the Doctors' Plot and when was it announced?
In January 1953, Pravda announced that thirteen doctors, several of whom were Jewish, who treated top Party officials, were accused of conspiring with the USA and killing Zhdanov and other high-ranking officials. It was said that they planned to wipe out the top Soviet leadership.
What happened to the doctors accused in the Doctors' Plot?
Confessions were obtained under torture, during which two of the doctors died. But before they could be executed, Stalin died. Subsequently, the plot was declared a fabrication and MVD officers were executed.
What argument do Russian historians Yoran Gorlizki and Oleg Khlevniuk make about Stalin's behaviour?
Recent work by the Russian historians Yoran Gorlizki and Oleg Khlevniuk has argued that to focus exclusively on paranoia as an explanation for Stalin's behaviour is an oversimplification.
