Résumé

On 13 January 1953 a stunned world learned that a vast conspiracy to murder Kremlin leaders had been unmasked among Jewish doctors. Pravda reported that several of the doctors had already confessed to the horrid crime. Mass arrests quickly followed. The Doctors' Plot, as this action came to be called, was Stalin's last great criminal conspiracy. The secret of it died with him on 5 March 1953. In the fifty years since Stalin's death many myths have grown up about the Doctors' Plot, while Stalin's intentions and motives have been the object of almost endless speculation. Did Stalin himself invent the conspiracy against the Jewish doctors or was it engineered by subordinates who wished to eliminate Kremlin rivals ? Was Stalin merely paranoid, motivated solely by venomous anti-Semitism ? Did he wish to recreate the Terror of the 1930s ? Did Stalin intend a purge of all Jews from Moscow, Leningrad and other major cities - a purge that might lead to a Soviet Holocaust ? How was this plot related to the Cold War then raging in Europe and the hot war in Korea ? To what extent were Jewish doctors actually implicated in the deaths of Kremlin leaders ? Finally was the Doctors' Plot connected with Stalin's fortuitous death ?
