Autorenporträt
Leon Trotsky, born Lev Davidovich Bronstein on November 7, 1879, in Yanovka, Ukraine, was a seminal figure in early 20th-century politics as a key leader in the October Revolution of 1917. A Marxist theorist and a fervent revolutionary, Trotsky initially found himself amongst Lenin's closest associates. As an articulate orator and an uncompromising thinker, his contributions to Marxist theory and his role as the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, and later the founder and commander of the Red Army, have cemented his place in history. Trotsky's intellectual legacy includes his theory of 'permanent revolution' and his critique of the bureaucratic degeneration of the Soviet state under Stalin. His literary style reflects his deep commitment to social justice and his analytical acuity, encapsulating complex historical and political ideologies in texts that both informed and galvanized his contemporaries. 'Our Revolution' (1930) is but one of his many works which chronicle the events leading to the Bolshevik triumph and the subsequent civil war from a perspective only Trotsky could provide. Through his writings, Trotsky remains a polarizing and influential figure in Marxist philosophy and revolutionary tactics. His assassination in August 1940 by a Stalinist agent marked the end of an era, but his literary contributions continue to resonate in the fields of political science and history.
