Party Prosecutor
In December 1944 - April 1945 Petrov was the main prosecutor in the People's Court [2] . He performed the installation of the BKP, demanded the most stringent verdicts. Contributed to more than 2.5 thousand death sentences.
Someone will say: what are 2875 or 3000 death sentences next to the huge, tens of thousands, victims that our glorious Labor Party (communists) suffered in the struggle? Only an insufficiently conscious or underdeveloped party member or sympathizer can raise this question. Such frivolously, voluntarily or involuntarily, deny and undermine the heroic historical act of the People’s Court, one of the most glorious deeds of our party.
