"Confession is a queen over all sorts of evidence". -- it should be noted, its not Vyshinsky's own invention, according to Solzhenitsyn, this cornerstone of Soviet law was produced by comrade Krylenko. Constanz - Talk 18:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible cause of death
According to rumour, Vyshinsky's death might have been caused by suicide.
"Confession is a queen over all sorts of evidence". - this is known to be a "solzhenicism", a lie, simply put. Vyshinsky never said anything like that. On the contrary, in his book "A theory of legal proof in Soviet justice" he clearly states that regina probationum (queen of all evidence) is completely unacceptable in Soviet legal practice. I am deleting it.
