Abstract
This chapter presents two letters sent to Moscow in 1953 pleading for Soviet intervention on behalf of forty-three incarcerated members of the Egyptian Communist Party (ECP). The letters, addressed to Grigorii T. Zaitsev, head of the Near and Middle Eastern Department of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs, describe the arrest, show trials, and torture of Egyptian communists at the hands of the nominally socialist regime of President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Participants in the Egyptian communist movement, these letters show, paid a heavy price for the realpolitik policy adopted by Stalin and his successors.
