Exactly.  Even in Stalinist Russia & Nazi Germany they took care to charge their opponents with actual crimes before eliminating them.  They had trials, defense attorneys, juries, accounts in the newspapers....all the formalities & legalities were observed.  And many otherwise sensible people living in free countries at the time were indeed convinced that Dimitrov, Zinoviev, Slánsky etc were guilty.
