From Wikipedia

The Kremlin Plot (Russian: Кремлёвское дело) is a 1935 criminal case in the Soviet Union about an assassination attempt on Joseph Stalin, which preceded the Great Purge. In March 1935, the leading conspirator Mikhail Cherniavsky confessed that he was part of a 'terrorist' assassination plot organized after the Kirov affair in the belief that equally poor security in the Kremlin could enable the conspirators to smuggle in pistols and shoot Stalin. No evidence shows that Cherniavsky was tortured, but he was persuaded to admit that he had been allegedly recruited by an American Trotskyist named Ryaskin when he was studying abroad in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
