BS.  Who says it is okay?  You are really stretching here.  From a Soviet text book:

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1936purges.html

"The chief instigator and ringleader of this gang of assassins and
spies was Judas Trotsky. Trotsky's assistants and agents in carrying out
his counter-revolutionary instructions were Zinoviev, Kamenev and their
Trotskyite underlings. They were preparing to bring about the defeat of the
U.S.S.R. in the event of attack by imperialist countries; they had become
defeatists with regard to the workers' and peasants' state; they had become
despicable tools and agents of the German and Japanese fascists."


It has always happened in this area and has absolutely nothing to do with
US policy.  You haven't made the connection or shown that it is accepted.
