The German title, *G.P.U. gegen Stalin*, sets the Soviet secret police against Joseph Stalin, and the record's "Seppla, 37" and the name Adrian Brugger point to a specific individual rather than a general scene. The GPU, the Soviet State Political Directorate, ran internal security and political policing from 1922 until its functions passed to the NKVD in 1934, a stretch when Stalin was consolidating control of the Communist Party. German-language material from these years often reflected the bitter factional struggles of the period, though the record does not say how this piece was made or used.
