The 27 August 1927 the prison in Charlestown were executed in the electric chair Nicola Sacco, Shoemaker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, fishmonger. At hours 00:19, the two men were killed seven minutes of each other (before it fell to Lot, then Vanzetti). The intent of this sentence was a robbery with double murder occurred on 15 April 1920 the shoe factory Slater and Morris to South Braintree, at the gates of Boston. An offence to which the two Italians were strangers and innocent. There were many evidences for them including the testimony of inmate Celestino Madeiros. But on of them weighed prejudice and adherence to the anarchist movement. They came to America in 1908, by making different crafts for living, regarded with contempt two WOPS i.e. without papers no papers, they did not speak any English or almost.

Last night I came across a documentary that talked about some great early-20th-century dictators. As I listened to the story of their most heinous crimes, I asked myself a question: How could these men women accept the actions taken by their mates? In fact, not all women criminals in power in the twentieth century they accepted silently decisions of their men.
Stalin, the man of steel, He was married to two women. His first wife died of tuberculosis in 1907, four years after their marriage. In 1919 the dictator he married Nadezhda Alliluyeva. Nadja was the daughter of a Russian revolutionary and had the opportunity to meet Stalin when he was just a kid. After the revolution, the girl became employed by the Secretariat of Lenin, work that gave her great satisfaction both from an economic point of view, both from a political point of view: Nadja was convinced advocate of Leninist ideology.
The woman had two children by Stalin: Vasily Dzhugashvili, died of alcoholism in 1962, and Svetlana Alliluyeva, d. 2011.
At the age of 31 years, after constant bickering with your spouse, the woman decided to take his own life with a gun shot to the heart: was the 09 November 1932.
Robert Conquest says that Nadja's death "was the only time they saw the eyes [the dictator] full of tears ". But it also seems that Stalin has said about the wife who "left by the enemy".
An ambivalent attitude then featured on Stalin's behavior against women, fact that distinguishes different totalitarian leader that all too often no longer able to distinguish between hate and love.
You do not know with certainty the reasons which prompted Nadja to commit suicide: Maybe he didn't want to be an accomplice of a man so wicked and did not want to have a guilty conscience of those who, with silence, become partner.
As Jerseys, Nadja "was removed from Monster, denying so shame to have loved ".
