Leon Trotsky & the Post-Soviet school of historical falsification

David North begins his seminal review of two recent biographies of Leon Trotsky by Geoffrey Swain and Ian Thatcher by bringing to memory the cruel events of 1937. Nearly 70 years have passed since Stalin's "Year of Terror", in which over one million people perished as the result of a deliberate campaign of political genocide against the last surviving generation of Marxists and Socialists inside the Soviet Union.
