The Crime of Collaboration With Former White Officers

Trotsky dared stallen to go forward with the expulsion of trotsky and zenovia. The former anarchist turned bolshevik was now a supporter of the left opposition. Zenoviev would not be able to face this expulsion, and he'd come crawling back on bended knee. But trotsky never could. And so in november 19 27, ten years after the great october revolution, two men who had their own claim to being the true heir and disciple of lenin, were expelled from the party.
