Vyshinsky's willingness to aid in providing Stalin with a legal cover for the murder of millions of innocent people was consistent with the lack of scruples, shameless opportunism, and adherence to a philosophy of [[situational ethics]] that he exhibited from the earliest days of his involvement in political affairs. There is evidence that prior to the [[Bolshevik Revolution]] he was an [[informant]] for the Czar and consorted with known undercover [[agent provocateur]]s - at the same time he was publicly criticizing Czarist policies. Since Stalinist Russia was a gigantic snitch culture in which one's survival and career advancement could depend on trading in the life of one or more person to save one's own, Vyshinsky early training in duplicity served him well in climbing through the ranks until he became a member of Stalin's hierarchy.
