Abstract
In a majority of studies, the Terror of the Red Army has been reduced to the trial against the army command on the grounds of the ‘Tukhachevskii affair’. To this day, there has been no extensive investigation into this secret trial and its connection with the changes in the Red Army. The lack of knowledge of central documents from the trial itself has played a crucial role in this, in addition to the otherwise very fragmentary research on the Red Army up to now. In the following, new light is shed on the events in the army based on Red Army documents and, above all, based on transcripts of the proceedings of the Military Council under the People's Commissar of Defense during 1934–39.
