D E F I N G:

The verdict of the VT is based only on the materials of the preliminary investigation, not verified during the trial. The witnesses SONIN and POLYAKOV, who were summoned to the court, did not appear for a completely unspecified reason, and given that GOLUBYKH did not admit his guilt in anti-Soviet agitation and denied the testimony of the witnesses in this part, the appearance of the witnesses should have been recognized as necessary. By failing to do this, the VT issued a verdict based on insufficiently examined case materials...

In view of the above, in agreement with the protest of the Chairman of the Military Tribunal, the verdict of the Military Tribunal is overturned and the case is transferred for a new trial to the Military Tribunal of the 55th Army.

The measure of restraint for the Blues will remain unchanged.
