Pozor Rossii

[Kirsty McCluskey]

It is indeed brilliant.  As a Trotsky specialist I'm horribly amused by
their description.

Лейба Давидович Бронштейн. Деятель международного кoммуниcтичecкoгo
революционного движения, практик и теоретик марксизма. Собирался
пожертвовать Россией ради Мировой Революции. Ненавидел русских.

Happy New Year!
