Trotsky Article Published in Soviet Magazine Marks Barrier Break
In Moscow the Soviet magazine Young Communist printed Leon Trotsky's article the first since his expulsion in 1928. Trotsky, assassinated in Mexico in 1940 likely on Stalin's orders, is framed as an eloquent revolutionary, with The New Course of 1923 cited as a warning against bureaucratization and a call for party regeneration echoed by Gorbachev decades later.
