Trotsky's Russian Revolution

Trotsky considered russia to be one of these colonized areas on the periphery of western european capitalism that was undergoing uneven and combined development. He believed this state of affairs meant russia could plot a different and more direct course through the democratic revolution to the socialist revolution. Trotsky outlined in a pamphlet he wrote in prison in 19 o six called, as i said, results and prospects. This pamphlet was not published until much later, but it clearly spells out tronsky's ideas at the time.
