LEON TROTSKY - CYNIC AND SADIST<br />

Leon Trotsky was born with <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Leiba Bronstein on <strong>the</strong> 25th<br />

October (<strong>the</strong> 7th <strong>of</strong> November in <strong>the</strong> Gregorian calendar) 1879 at 10:09<br />

p.m. in <strong>the</strong> village <strong>of</strong> Yanovka near Bobrinets in <strong>the</strong> province <strong>of</strong> Kherson<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Ukraine. It is asserted <strong>by</strong> some foreign sources that he came into <strong>the</strong><br />

world on <strong>the</strong> 26th <strong>of</strong> October. Dmitri Volkogonov, however, settled for <strong>the</strong><br />

25th in his book "Trotsky". The Julian calendar, in which <strong>the</strong> new year<br />

began 13 days later than in <strong>the</strong> Gregorian, was used in Russia before <strong>the</strong><br />

Bolshevik revolution. Leiba's fa<strong>the</strong>r, David Bronstein, was a wealthy<br />

Jewish landowner. In fact, <strong>the</strong> Bronstein family owned <strong>the</strong> whole village.<br />

In 1888, when Leiba was 7 years old, he began attending a Jewish<br />

Heder school, where <strong>the</strong> studies were conducted in Hebrew. (Dmitri<br />

Volkogonov, "Trotsky", Moscow, 1994, I, p. 31.) The children at this<br />

Jewish school also studied <strong>the</strong> Talmud. According to <strong>the</strong> Talmud, <strong>the</strong> Jews<br />

are God's chosen people who are to play a leading role in <strong>the</strong> world. In<br />

1911 <strong>the</strong> Jews had 43 such schools in Odessa alone, a town in which 36.4<br />

per cent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> population was Jewish in 1926. Leiba began collecting<br />

pornographic pictures at <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong> eight.<br />

In 1888 Leiba began at St. Paul's junior secondary school in Odessa, but<br />

he finished his last year in Nikolaievsk, where he was presented to a Czech<br />

Jew, Franz Schwigowsky who recruited <strong>the</strong> 17-year-old Leiba into a secret<br />

society - "The Workers' League". The members <strong>of</strong> "The League", in-<br />

cluding Leiba Bronstein, were imprisoned on <strong>the</strong> 28th <strong>of</strong> January 1898. He<br />

was imprisoned in Odessa where he spent two years before he was exiled<br />

to Siberia for four years. On <strong>the</strong> 21st <strong>of</strong> August 1902, he escaped from<br />

Siberia. First he went to Vienna, where he at once found <strong>the</strong> Jewish<br />

"revolutionary" and freemason Viktor Adler, who published <strong>the</strong> news-<br />

paper Arbeiter-Zeitung (Workers' Newspaper). Then his journey to<br />

London was arranged.<br />

The man who transformed Leiba Bronstein into a revolutionary monster<br />

under <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> Leon (Lev) Trotsky, was a high ranking Jewish<br />
