Talk:Leon Trotsky

Biography

Hi, I thought a bit strage that the heading bio information didn't include place of birth and place of death. Furthermore, I was surprised to find out that the article attributes his death to illnes, when it is widley know that he was murdered in mexico city. Both facts (place of birth and death and the assasination) can be corroborated in the spanish translation (amongst many others.. but to save some time...) I am o tchanging anything, I just wanted to point out the conflit between the information in english and spanish versions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.102.65.87 (talk) 01:32, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

The article has a section on the assasination here. --Duncan (talk) 14:48, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Bronshtein vs Bronstein

The article uses both but does not explain why and why that's okay. 94.222.152.232 (talk) 18:51, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks - yes, we should be consistent. I've changed 'Bronstein' to 'Bronshtein' in the article, as that was used by us more often. Transliteration of names in Cyrillic languages is often problematic, and I've seen it spelt either way in many places. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:12, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Trotsky as Freemason

There are Freemason sites listing the works of Trotsky. His membership is without dispute. FM will delight in the Communist revolutionary among their membership.207.119.116.76 (talk) 15:23, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Verify it, get sources and post it on here. --75.159.2.59 (talk) 06:23, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Red Terror and War Communism

Why so little mention about Red Terror and War Communism. More needs be mentioned about Trotsky's role and the effects of the policies on the people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.168.116.57 (talk) 16:53, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Early Conflict with Stalin

From the portion involving the Russian Civil war, "The reorganization caused yet another conflict between Trotsky and Stalin in late " This is the first time any interaction between Stalin and Trotsky is mentioned. Considering the later impact between these two personalities clashing, there should probably be a greater emphasis on earlier interactions between the two. 66.60.183.188 (talk) 19:53, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
