re: #186 Sergey Romanov

Funny, the thing with Trotsky. Him being Stalin’s enemy, for a lot of Lefties who had to navigate in a post-stalinistic world, he became their hero even before Lenin. IIRC, even Christopher Hitchens still recently flirted with Trotsky.

From what little I know, he wasn’t exactly a choir boy during the civil war and the revolution, either…
