This book examines one of the 20th century’s most defining and tragic conflicts within the communist movement: the split between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. The text details how the two leaders came to view each other as mortal enemies, a rivalry that shaped not only the personal fates of major Soviet politicians and military figures but also the developmental path of the USSR until its collapse.
Author Vitaly Sarabeev, chief archivist at the State Archive of Perm Krai and editor of the Marxist journal Lenin Crew, explores the origins, escalation, key stages, and bloody climax of this confrontation. The study highlights specific episodes and the unique forms the struggle took. Sarabeev pays tribute to the political talents of both Stalin and Trotsky while also analyzing their respective errors. Grounded in Marxist methodology, the book aims to present an objective view of both leaders’ roles in the communist movement, free from the propaganda of earlier eras. Price: 927.00 RUR.
