The Case of the Anti-Soviet "Bloc of Rightists and Trotskyites", also known as the Trial of the Twenty-One, was the last of the three public Moscow trials charging prominent Bolsheviks with espionage and treason.

The accused were tortured to extract confessions and publicly admitted their guilt during the show trial.
