1928年联共(布)中央七月全会召开时,布哈林和斯大林的关系紧张到了临界点。党的两个领袖,以及“已被揭露的”季诺维也夫和加米涅夫,后来还有和他俩合伙的托洛茨基,彼此之间已有好几个星期不讲话了。过去他们之间未曾公开的那些激烈分歧,对于党的上层说来已不再是秘密。 At the July Plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolshevik) in 1928, the relations between Bukharin and Stalin had been tightened to the critical point. The two leaders of the party, as well as the “uncovered” Zinoviev and Kamenev, and later Trotsky and the two of them, have not spoken to each other for weeks . Those fierce divisions that have not been made public between them in the past are no longer secrets to the upper party.
