One of the “most forbidden” books in the USSR, first legally published only in 1991!
A book whose brilliant and striking style had been admired by the classics of 20th-century literature.
A book started by Trotsky in exile and finished already in emigration in 1930; even during the author’s lifetime, it was translated into many languages and repeatedly published.
In it, the world’s most famous left-wing radical tells about the October Revolution, about Lenin and his associates, honestly and truthfully, and openly and in detail dwells on the intrigues that brought Stalin to power.
