What was expected of Ordzhonikidze in the 1937 meeting that he didn't attend?

  • Denounce workers

  • Praise Stalin

  • Declare war

  • Resign from his position

Answer

In the anticipated 1937 meeting, Ordzhonikidze was expected to denounce and condemn workers, likely accusing them of sabotage or disloyalty. This denunciation was an integral part of the Great Purge, a period of intense political repression and persecution orchestrated by Joseph Stalin. Ordzhonikidze's failure to attend and participate in this orchestrated denouncement marked a significant deviation from the expected script of the meeting.
