 Stalin's Prosecutor: the life of Andrei Vyshinsky
Vyshinsky was at ease doing that because he was a master at using innuendo and false characterizations to make an innocent person appear to be guilty merely on the basis of their “confession” - without presenting any evidence substantiating their guilt.
Vyshinsky’s deviousness is underscored by the pressuring of some defendants to confess with a promise of leniency - which was forgotten as soon as the hapless person was beyond the protective gaze of the foreigners in the courtroom.
Vyshinsky’s willingness to aid in providing Stalin with a legal cover for the murder of millions of innocent people was consistent with the lack of scruples, shameless opportunism, and adherence to a philosophy of situational ethics that he exhibited from the earliest days of his involvement in political affairs.

On the Soviet prosecutorial side we find not only Nikitchenko but Lev Sheinin, who had also already been associated in public print as having the prosecutor's role in various faked trials, together with several others on the panel.
(And we now know that the secret Soviet commission for manipulating the trial consisted of Andrey Vyshinsky,'lead prosecutor in the show trials, three civilians, plus three leading secret police officers-the latter all shot later-while their organization was represented at Nuremberg by the later notorious interrogator and torturer Colonel M. T Likachev, also eventually shot.)
As Vyshinsky put it in the Political Committee on November 10, 1949, "We are not obliged to subordinate ourselves or to render an account in this matter to any inter­national organs."
