Synopsis "The Revolution Betrayed: What Is the Soviet Union and Where Is It Going?"

En 1917, los obreros y campesinos de Rusia fueron el motor de una de las revoluciones más profundas de la historia. Sin embargo, en diez años, se consolidaba una contrarrevolución política liderada por una capa social privilegiada, cuyo principal portavoz era Iósif Stalin. Este estudio clásico del estado obrero soviético y la degeneración de la revolución arroja luz sobre las raíces de la desintegración de la burocracia soviética y la agudización de los conflictos en y entre las antiguas repúblicas de la URSS.

Apéndice: El socialismo en un solo país.

Probablemente el libro más legible, significativo e interesante que ha surgido hasta la fecha de la prolífica pluma del exlíder del Ejército Rojo. —The New York Times Book Review (21 de marzo de 1937)

«Traición» es una palabra fuerte. Y, sin embargo, en el caso del Sr. Trotsky, es la única. El estalinismo, en su opinión, no ha hecho menos que traicionar a la clase obrera internacional. —The New York Times (12 de marzo de 1937)

“Un estilo literario vigoroso y vivaz que lo distingue entre los escritores soviéticos”. —Quarterly Review

Lev Davidovich Bronstein, better known as Leon Trotsky, was a politician and revolutionary of Russian origin

Although he initially sympathized with the Mensheviks[4] and had ideological and personal disputes with the Bolshevik leader, Vladimir Lenin, Trotsky was one of the key organizers of the October Revolution, which allowed the Bolsheviks to take power in November 1917 in Russia. During the subsequent civil war, he served as the commissioner of military affairs

He negotiated Russia's withdrawal from World War I through the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. He was in charge of creating the Red Army which would definitively consolidate the revolutionary achievements by defeating poor support from foreign armies and the White armies during the Russian civil war; he supported the Red Terror and was awarded the Order of the Red Banner

Subsequently, he politically and ideologically confronted Joseph Stalin, leading the left opposition, which caused him exile and later assassination. After his exile from the Soviet Union, he was the leader of an international left-wing revolutionary movement identified with the name of Trotskyism and characterized by the idea of the "permanent revolution". In 1938, he founded the Fourth International

He was assassinated in Mexico by Ramón Mercader, a Spanish agent of the Soviet NKVD, by order of Stalin.
