Episode 809
The source provides an extensive overview of the life and political career of Leon Trotsky, a key figure in the Russian Revolution and subsequent Soviet government. It chronicles his early political development, including his initial opposition and eventual alliance with Lenin and the Bolsheviks, and details his critical roles as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and the leader who built the Red Army during the Civil War. A major focus is placed on his conflict with Joseph Stalin following Lenin's death, which led to his expulsion from the Party and eventual exile to various countries before his assassination in Mexico. Finally, the text explores Trotsky's ideological contributions, notably the theory of Permanent Revolution and his critique of the bureaucratic Soviet state.
