Writings of Leon Trotsky, 1929

The first six articles of this selection of seventy-seven articles, pamphlets, interviews and letters of 1929 were written immediately after Trotsky's expulsion from the Soviet Union and arrival in Turkey in February, the first time he could speak publicly about the post-Lenin struggle in the Cmmunist Party of the Soviet-Union.
Trotsky's main objectives in 1929 were to circulate his version of the facts of the struggle inside the CPSU and the Communist International from 1923 to 1929; to stem the tendencies among important leaders of the Russian Left Opposition to surrender to the Stalinist bureaucracy; to promote the consolidation, on a programmatic basis, of Oppositional groups throughout the world as an international faction of the Comintern.
