==The Dewey Commission==
In 1938, the Dewey Commission headed by American educator [[John Dewey]] was assembled in the home of Diego Rivera to respond to charges of Marxist [[deviationism]] leveled against the Soviet exile [[Leon Trotsky]]. This was a formal response to the [[Stalin]]ist show trials during the [[Great Purges]].<ref>http://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/1937/dewey/</ref> Trotsky was found guilty ''in absentia'' in Moscow and later assassinated by [[KGB]] agents in Mexico City.
