If we can understand how Trotsky became a Bolshevik, we shall have some human understanding of what Bolshevism is. For that reason my book is not a record of his achievements, but the story of his youth. I hope to write about those achievements also, but that is a different book. 0nly remember, while you read, that in 1905, at the age of twenty-six, this Jewish boy, standing at the head of the Petrograd Soviet of Worker&#8217;s Deputies, spoke with an authority in Russia not inferior to that of the czar. *His natal name was Bronstein.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/americandeception.com\/ad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Leon_Trotsky_The_Portrait_Of_A_Youth-Max_Eastman-1925-190pgs-POL.sml_.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Download  Leon Trotsky The Portrait Of A Youth-Max Eastman-1925<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The chief thing to be gained by visiting Soviet Russia is a feeling of the characters of the Bolsheviks.
