Writing an Essay for my Russian History 1905-1945 class. How do I prove to my teacher that the defendants in the Moscow Trials were guilty? She has said I'm not allowed to use Grover Furr or The Finnish Bolshevik as a source.

Use Ludo Martens as a source and Bertolt Brecht to prove how in ter innocence they were actually guilty. You can quote Zizek's In Defense of Lost Causes.
Or you could not focus on how they were guilty, but rather present it as a result of an historical process led by a series of contractions that needed to somehow be worked upon.
Also Getty has a book the "stalinist" terror in which he talks about what the people thought about it. Sheila Fitzpatrick as well.

Since when are random youtubes credible sources?

Since the information age started, user. Most people get their understanding of politics from e-celeb.

The question of whether they were "innocent" or "guilty" is irrelevant. Any steps taken to protect a revolution are justified a priori. The real question is what the punishment should be. If one is indeed innocent but one day fears they may be thought of otherwise, their heart is not with the revolution, it is with apprehension. All dedicated revolutionaries should know that their lives belong to it, whether falsely condemned or truthfully, and should never fear a trial. The real ones meet their fate like Saint-Just, with confidence and even an arrogance.

Who the hell cites either of them? They're not the primary sources of information. Just take their sources and rephrase their theses. You must also take care to moderate the phrases to not sound like an apologist, they'll downgrade you otherwise. Just play along.

That doesn’t make any sense, by that logic you can arrest and execute literally anybody whether or not they have actually done anything wrong. Steps taken to protect the revolution are fine, but only if they actually target counter revolutionary elements, otherwise it’s just random killing.

The problem here is how to moderate the phrases. If I was him I would write like Michael Parenti.
