3 dic 1919 año - The Polonsky Conspiracy - the VRS try and pronounce death sentences on the conspirators. unclear whether this really happened, or they were simply shot in rage on the way to kontrraz hq and dumped in Dnieper, with report covering tracks (probably latter).

Descripción:

Zinkovsky reported about
this on December 3 at a meeting of the VRS.
11401 The Kontrrazvedka quickly carried out
an investigation and pronounced the death
sentence on the four leaders of the con-
spiracy. This sentence was confirmed by the
commanders of the 1 Donetsk and the 3rd
Yekaterinoslav Corps. The Kontrrazvedka's
report was dated at 4 p.m. on December 2.
According to Belash, all four were executed by
Lepetchenko, Vasilevsky, and Karetnikov on
the bank of the Dnieper alongside the road to the Kontrrazvedka's
headquarters.
From Belash's account, it's difficult to understand whether the in-
vestigation was carried out directly in Polonsky's apartment and the
sentence pronounced there, or whether the conspirators were ex-
ecuted in a fit of rage while being transported to the Kontrrazvedka
headquarters and then the report was written to cover the tracks
of this event. I'm inclined to the second version, as the investiga-
tion and the analysis of the liquor could hardly be carried out in
the conspirators' apartment. According to Konevets, Polonsky was
killed separately, in the middle of the night, i.e. immediately after
his arrest. He was taken to the river bank and killed there. 421 But
according to Miroshevky, all the shootings took place on December
5. However the memoirs of the Communists are difficult to accept
because they contain a huge quantity of ideologically-inspired
"factoids". For example, we are told that the conspirators were shot
by a certain "Mishka Levchik”, a professional criminal and head of
the Makhnovist Kontrrazvedka.
