The term '''show trial''' refers to a highly-publicised and politically-motivated trial, in which the verdict is predetermined by the controlling political regime. Examples include the trials of alleged [[Trotskist]]s and spies cartied out during the [[Great Purges]] of [[Stalin]], and the trials of the so-called plotters following the July 1944 attempt to assassinate [[Hitler]].
