Ulhas quotes, as an account of why Trotsky's flame fell:
He (Trotsky) was revered, but as Deutscher says, an exhausted people was no longer in the mood for grand oratory and prophecy.
--
Nonsense. They got plenty of grand oratory and prophecy from Stalin.
Trotsky is a complete nonentity in Russia. No, a tiny footnote to Lenin.
===== Nu, zayats, pogodi!
