Oviedo Travel Guide: 92 reviews and 351 photos
Asturias is such a scenic part of Spain, even its large cities are worth visiting. Oviedo, the capital of Asturias has about 200,000 residents, an old town and excellent shops and restaurants. I was surprised that it has so many Michelin rated restaurants. Small wonder - the city is known for its delicious Asturian food.
We spent only a few hours here, but they were a very enjoyable few hours.
The architecture of Oviedo is charming and attractive. Buildings are made up of earth tone, beige or even brightly painted plaster or stucco, with brick or stone corners and window adornments, wrought iron balconies and tile roofs. The old town streets are cobblestones. Sculptures, old street lamps, fountains, and flowers hanging from windows are found throughout the city.
Oviedo is close to the ocean, so it will frequently get rain and clouds. The day we flew in, the city was covered with clouds. The next day we drove into the city, we were treated with ideal weather with beautiful blue skies.
We were staying near Arriondas, so Oviedo was about 60 minutes away. The quickest way to get there is on the main motorway. We had the time, so going over there, we chose to take the more scenic N-634. The highway winds through the countryside and goes through little Asturian towns.
- Pros:Beautiful old town, georgeous architecture, good food
- Cons:Weather was perfect when we were there, but rain is common
- In a nutshell:It felt like I had been transported outside Spain - to a place that was sort of French, sort of Scottish, sort of Irish

Nice pics of Oviedo. So did your daughter find the shoes she was looking for? I bought a pair of Campers in Sevilla.
If you like Woody Allen's films you will saw Oviedo on his new film with Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem He just finished filming just a few days ago
Great pix and tips, Karen. This is definately an often overlooked destination.
Karen, really enjoyed your comprehensive introduction. The large department store is one that I visited also. So sad that the churches were closed because they look fantastic.

Ice Cream?
When I typed in Leon Trotsky I got an jumbled article about saying that he was an Ice Cream man on a BBC show. Did a sysop delete this article? Vladimir Stalin 10:01am EST 4.1.07
- Let's hope so, since he was not an ice-cream man for the BBC. --Duncan 08:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- In 1916-1917 when Trotsky was exiled in the New York, USA, he supplemented his meagre revolutionary income by hiring himself out as a movie extra at the one of early movie studios filming in NYC. One movie that he was believed to be in was called, "My official wife". The script called for "revolutionary types" and what better actor for this bit part than the founder and first commander of the Communist Red Army! In it, a Trotsky can be seen over-acting ferociously (which was standard in those early days of silent movies) and mugging the camera in all his scenes. Soon after, the Russian Revolution of 1917 happened and he had to leave the glamorous world of movie film-making and work on creating the Russian Red Army... :)
- I picked up this bit of movie trivia from, "The Guiness Book of Films" and there are some references to this trivia on the Internet. Alas... Some people declare this delicious bit of trivia as an urban legend, but since most silent movies are lost/destroyed; there is no conclusive proof that he wasn't a bit-part movie actor either :) --Eqdoktor 07:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Myth is quite the word. Trotsky was in New York for, what, seven weeks? It seems quite unlikely. We'd need proof of it, rather than conclusive proof that is it untrue. --Duncan 10:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if it helps but this was cut from the article on 2nd March 2007 (rightly or wrongly):-
Rumors of appearances in American films
- There is an urban legend that Trotsky was once an extra in one or more American movies. This legend is based on two separate episodes. - - First, there is a minor 1930s documentary about Hollywood history which is shown by the cable television channel Turner Classic Movies from time to time. It includes an 8-10 second excerpt from a silent movie (Thought to be "My Official Wife" made 1916-1917, when Trotsky briefly lived in New York City) with a Trotsky look-alike making a brief appearance as an extra. The announcer claims, perhaps in jest since the whole episode is played for laughs, that it is indeed Trotsky supplementing his income while in New York in early 1917. Kevin Brownlow argued that it couldn't possibly be Trotsky.[1] - - The second episode is described here: - - ::Recorded on the Fox lot in Hollywood on January 27, 1928, the Dedication of "Park Row" footage constitutes one of the earliest synchronous-sound newsreels. [...] However, the real star here is this "Leon Trotsky of the Soviet Republic!" Exactly what Trotsky is doing in Hollywood seems to bewilder even those standing behind him in this film. More bewildering still to most viewers in 1928 is the fact that his Russian goes untranslated. Is this confirmation that it is really he? It looks like Trotsky, albeit a little younger and leaner than he was at the time. While we, like they, might have wondered, for the Russian-speaker the joke is given away immediately. The actor's words (delivered haltingly, with a Slavic accent) can be translated as:
- :::Comrades, by the irony of fate I play the role of Trotsky in the new Raoul Walsh production by the Fox studio. In this production, he will show the very best anyone has ever seen. Raoul Walsh is famous for this staging of What Price Glory?, and in this production he'll show something truly special. [Translation by Alexander Ogden and Judith Kalb]
I was sad to see it get deleted (didn't follow the discussion, if there was any) but given the article's excellent serious detail and length, the trivia probably has no place. Andysoh 16:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Was Trotsky's mother, Anna Bronstein, also Jewish? The article states that his father was Jewish but does not state whether his mother was also. Badagnani 20:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes she was Jewish, as well as being from the middle class. Consequently, her family did not like her marraige to David Bronstein, as he was a peasant and he was not as committed to Judaism they were.
Sugrnspice (talk) 07:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Has somebody noticed here that Trotsky was born the day the Communists came to power in 1917 (November 7) and was killed the day they lost power in 1991 (August 21)? A pretty funny coincidence. Uocila 11:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Get outVTNC (talk) 01:37, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Communists did not lost power in August 21.--220.127.116.11 (talk) 07:35, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Where did the catergories go?
I went to the bottom of the page, and half the catergories are gone. All there is in the categories is 1879 births and 1940 deaths. Where did everything else go? Like, where's the part about him being an atheist? Was he religious? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wearetherevolution (talk • contribs) 06:37, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
What do you think? Of course he wasn't religious, he was a marxist. You can't be marxist and religious.184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Snippet on Emmanuel Goldstein?
The character in 1984 is clearly based off in part to Trotsky and Emma Goldman, what with him helping found Oceania with "Big Brother" and later being exiled and thus speaking out against the Union. The part that described his facial features says it all.--The Youth Counselor (talk) 09:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Break-up Into Sub Articles
I would advise whoever is working on this article to break Trotsky's biography into sub-articles as the article has reached an enourmous length. --Xtreambar (talk) 17:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Still needs expansion if anything, it is not only incomplete but still smaller than articles like Paul McCartney and Jesus. Questioning81 (talk) 21:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Biography Needs Sources
The biographical section here leaves a lot to be desired in terms of references. If this article is your baby, I'd suggest you take some time to attribute sources. On a figure of this much historical significance, and with such political implications for its content, we must be particularly weary of either vandalism in the bio, or hero-worship/revisionism that isn't backed up by the record. Take care. Jordanp (talk) 07:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Trotsky directly references and supports eugenics in his speech If America Should Go Communist[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by VTNC (talk • contribs) 09:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- A throwaway remark at the end of an article written at a time when eugenics was still regarded as being a genuine science and had not been discredited by the travesties of the Nazis. Even then he clearly distinguishes what he has in mind from the pseudo-science of the Nazis:
- "While the romantic numskulls of Nazi Germany are dreaming of restoring the old race of Europe's Dark Forest to its original purity, or rather its original filth, you Americans, after taking a firm grip on your economic machinery and your culture, will apply genuine scientific methods to the problem of eugenics."
- It would be a serious distortion to raise this to a central aspect of Trotsky's politics. --Mia-etol (talk) 09:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
@VTNC: Up until the end of World War II and the revelations about the Nazi experiments led to the discrediting of eugenics it was supported by political figures right across the board from right to left. To interpret Trotsky's remarks retrospectively on the basis of present knowledge would be seriously ahistorical. And BTW it wasn't a speech, it was an article. In 1934 Trotsky was not in a position to make speeches anywhere due to the conditions of his political asylum. --Mia-etol (talk) 10:16, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Trotsky was nominated by Lenin to be the leader of the first government eugenics' association in the world.See this site: [[2]] to read something about this fact.Agre22 (talk) 00:52, 27 May 2009 (UTC)agre22
The Great Purge
The first paragraph of this article states that Trotsky was exiled from USSR in the Great Purge, while in fact that happened about ten years earlier. The Great Purge, that means the period 1936-1938. Trotsky had to leave the country in 1928. Volga Burlak (talk) 11:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Democratic centralism
The problem with the claim that Lenin created democratic centralism is that it isn't true. The idea of democratically deciding about policy and then all members implementing the policy decide existed already in German Social Democracy. Indeed none of the ideas that Lenin presented in What is to be done were particularly new or controversial - it was the policy of all Iskra supporters - including Martov, Plekhanov and Trotsky - before the 2nd Party Congress. It was also the structure adopted by Rosa Luxemburg's party in Poland (although if anything this was less democratic and more centralist than any of Lenin's organisations, despite her critique in Organisational Questions of Russian Social Democracy). The myth of Lenin's evil genius and the original sin of democratic centralism is basically a later myth - this is not to say that Lenin didn't indulge in all sorts of manoeuvres, some of which were fairly dubious, but then again so did all of his opponents. --Mia-etol (talk) 17:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
There is a difference however since Lenin also drew upon the example of the Narodniki and its intellectual figures Bakunin and Nechayev. The Narodniki had been a tightly organized group able to operate underground in a way which the German Social Democrats never approached. But the Narodniki had had a very shallow concept of political, social and economic theory. Hence they were suppressed. Lenin argued that Marxist theory must be the intellectual basis for the new party, but he also invoked "the revolutionaries of the Seventies" when arguing in WHAT IS TO BE DONE? for a new type of party. That heritage of the 1870s and Lenin's attitude towards it did indeed distinguish Lenin from Kautsky, Bernstein, Plekhanov or Martov. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 12:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Kronstadt Uprising
Why no mention of Kronstadt? Non Trots know: LT was only different from Stalin in that LT lost the inter struggles in the CPSU(B).
"The Anarchist Emma Goldman, who was in Petrograd at the time of the rebellion, criticised Leon Trotsky for his role in the suppression of the rebellion, arguing that this made his later criticism of Stalin's regime hypocritical.[14] Trotsky, however, responded that Goldman's criticisms were mainly perfunctory, and ignored the differing social composition between the pro-Bolshevik Kronstadt Uprising of 1917 and the mainly "petty bourgeois" Kronstadt Uprising of 1921." [3] Arealsocialist (talk) 20:55, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
- Despite allegations to the contrary Trotsky wasn't actually personally involved in the suppression of Kronstadt, although he did accept "political responsibility" as a member of the leadership of the state and the party at the time. I see no reason why it shouldn't be mentioned since it did come up in political discussions and debates at the time of the Moscow Trials. --Mia-etol (talk) 06:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
The article asserts that "The claim that the Kronstadt rebels were 'counterrevolutionary' has been supported by evidence of White army and French government support for the Kronstadt sailors' March rebellion," and cites an article from "Marxisme Online," which makes reference to the "Memorandum on the Question of Organising an Uprising in Kronstadt" to back up its claim. I think it's important to point out that the contents of the Memorandum are deeply controversial and are heavily disputed, most notably by historian Paul Avrich, who has written extensively on this topic. Frisked (talk) 23:28, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Trotsky's name translated
Lev Trosky should be translated Leo Trotsky like Leo Tolstoy. Leon is a misnomer. A widely used misnomer but a mistake none the less. His name should be written Leo Trotsky not Leon Trotsky. (Alex2706 (talk) 19:00, 4 August 2008 (UTC))
- Wikipedia uses the most common name in English (see WP:NC), which is undoubtedly Leon. The name Leo is extremely rarely used. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:12, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- In addition numerous books and articles were published using the name "Leon Trotsky" during Trotsky's lifetime and with his knowledge, so it is fair to say that he accepted this as the English version of his name. --Mia-etol (talk) 06:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- The article starts "Leon Trotsky (Russian: ru-Leon Trotsky.ogg Лев Давидович Трóцкий (help·info), Lev Davidovich Trotsky, also transliterated Leo, Lyev, Trotski, Trotskij, Trockij and Trotzky)" (emphasis added). This is incorrect, the Russian says "Lev" when transliterated. It might be translated to Leo or Lyev or Leon but the cyrillic letters don't form those words. Pbhj (talk) 13:32, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- In addition numerous books and articles were published using the name "Leon Trotsky" during Trotsky's lifetime and with his knowledge, so it is fair to say that he accepted this as the English version of his name. --Mia-etol (talk) 06:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
In the Trotsky in art section, there could be a sentence that reads: The character of Nicolas Salmanovitch Rubashov in Arthur Koestler's novel "Darkness At Noon" is based on Leon Trotsky. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bloise (talk • contribs) 01:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
In the movie The Death of Trotsky, Trotsky is shown surrounded by faithful American followers, who refer to him as "L.D." - short for Liev Davidovich. Das Baz, aka Erudil 18:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- A film dialogue is hardly reliable historical evidence; and I seem to recall that this film had difficulty distinguishing between Diego Rivera and David Siqueiros, with unfortunate plot consequences. So this is not an acceptable basis for inserting the claim in the article. RolandR (talk) 18:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Those are good points. The "L.D." monicker would have to be considered under Trotsky in Art, or Trotsky in Popular Culture, not Trotsky in History.
And I would like to know more about the Rivera-Siqueiros matter. Das Baz, aka Erudil 16:45, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps the movie The Death of Trostsky should have its own article. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:33, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Last words
Trotsky was writing a biography of Stalin. In the Preface, Trotsky said, "Stalin always hated ideas. For him, the idea was...". At this point, Trotsky was killed.

Predicted own death
Trotsky predicted his own death in full detail. His said of Stalin, "He seeks to aim, not at the ideas of his opponent, but at his skull." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 11:55, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Article Source?
I'm quite new to Wikipedia, etc., so please forgive me if I'm missing something. This entire article appears to be copied word for word from a biography on Trotsky entitled Leon Trotsky Bolshevik Revolutionary, Fililquarian Publishing/Biographiq C 2008. I don't see this source listed anywhere, though each note from the biography is dutifully included in the entry. Is this normal/acceptable? ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Syr44english (talk • contribs) 03:15, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- I have never heard of this publisher befote, and they list no author for their book. Since this article has been written by dozens of independent editors, over several years, it is clearly not a direct copy of an anonymous title published in 2008. I strongly suspect that the book you refer to is actually an unattributed copy of the Wikipedia article. In fact, by comparing any differences, it should be possible to establish exactly when it was copied from our article. RolandR (talk) 01:49, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
- The publisher seems to specialise in reproducing copyright free materials. RolandR is certainly right that this article is not copied from a single source, therfore their article must be copied from here. We should be careful not to reference it as a primary source! --Duncan (talk) 10:45, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- I should have noted earlier that I had already come to the same conclusion, and had reported the publisher on the GFDL Notice Board. RolandR (talk) 11:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Trotsky, descent, background
At least two users here seemed to be offended by the statement "Although Bronstein is a Jewish name, Trotsky's family was not religious" as opposed to a construct of the "was born in a Jewish family" type. I don't have an issue with either wording. Still, I don't understand one of the comments made. Obviously, in order to be a target of antisemitism (or any other kind of prejudice), it is not necessary to be something (whatever that is); it is only needed to be perceived as something.
For example, some may think that Georg Cantor may have been a target of antisemitism at some point in his career; certainly, a text from his father is read by some as indicating that possibility. Now, Cantor is a predominantly Jewish name, but Cantor's ancestors turn out to be particularly hard to trace. (He himself was a Protestant theologian whose father and whose mother happened to be a Protestant and a Catholic, respectively.) Does this mean that Cantor could not possibly have been a target of antisemitism? No.
At the end, what we have to be careful about is the following. Antisemitism (and other forms of racial and racial-like prejudice) defines its targets in a certain way. It is best to report on the effect that antisemitism had on this or that historical figure, without falling into the trap of defining this or that historical figure as antisemitism does.
Of course, somebody can be a target from antisemitism *and* come from a strongly Judaic background that it might eventually be worth mentioning, but that does not seem to be Trotsky's case.
On a different subject - antisemitism was certainly a factor in White Russian propaganda against Trotsky, but Stalin's hatred for Trotsky may have preceded his descent into antisemitism (and other forms of paranoia). It does not seem to be the case that Stalin was antisemitic in his youth, though he was never forcefully opposed to antisemitism.
To go back to another of the comments made ("Trotsky's Jewish background is well-documented"): Trotsky's (eventual) *descent* from Jews is well-documented, as is his (relative) *lack* of a Judaic or Yiddishist background. (Or: Jewish descent vs. Jewish background, if you prefer no further distinctions to be made.)
Quite aside from the wording in the introduction (which is what these other users and myself have been going back and forth about) - the tags at the bottom are going a little far. Do we want people to be divided into binary categories b criteria based on blood (or descent, if you prefer)? Are we going to have lists of Jews? This is troublesome. Feketekave (talk) 15:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
After all this solicitor's words. If the revealing of a real Trotsky's nationality is a real problem for somebody's till nowadays - why we don't get the part 'Nationality' off this page after all, and will we made the 'Citizenship' for a change? In Russian Empire were living near 100 nomber of peoples. 80% of them were Russians, but others were near 20 mlns. of total population. A few of them was of Jewish descent (and not all - of Jewish religion). They were called 'жиды'/Jews in Official Files. Trotsky was one of them. IS IT A PROBLEM? Is it an offence - to be a Jew? I don't think so. But, please: 'don't write a rot' - he wasn't Russian by Nationality, just by Citizenship. --AlexZ-n (talk) 06:02, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Eighty eight years of the day Trotsky directed the suppression of the anarchist uprising in Krondstadt, a group of bandits scaled the walls of his former house in Mexico City during the late hours at night. We broke the lock on his mausoleum and we expropriate the content inside it: a silver large vase that bears the inscription of his name, wrapped in the red scarf that he carried around the neck, containing the ashes of the corpse inside. We replace with care the lock in the monument with a reproduction that was similar in the appearance and escaped into the night.

- Lenerd, is there a single article about the incident that doesn't simply repeat the claims of some anarchists to have done this? Blurry photographs aren't verifiable by Wikipedia standards. Please read Wikipedia:Verifiability and, if you have any information that would be a valid source, we can discuss how any such addition to the article would be handled. But the photos and descriptions posted thus far definitely aren't something we can put in the article. Cadriel (talk) 15:44, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Trotsky in American Silent Movies When He Was Supposed To Be In Russia
Trotsky is credited with appearing in at least two silent films in 1914 and 1916 respectively. In the 1914 film 'My Official Wife'(1914) a still photograph shows "Trotsky" in the company of actress Clara Kimball Young, the star of the movie. The still can be found in Daniel Blum's 1953 book "Pictorial History of the Silent Film" page 60. Trotsky is also given credit for appearing in 'The Kiss of Hate'(1916) starring Ethel Barrymore by "The Barrymores" author James Kotsilibas-Davis. Both films are long lost, so it's impossible to evaluate them as well as validate them. These are just two films Trotsky is credited with appearing in when he wasn't supposed to be in the United States. Given his nomadic nature perhaps he was in the country. The still of "Trotsky" with Clara Kimabll Young certainly looks like Leon Trotsky. Koplimek (talk) 17:58, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Trotsky in the Civil War
I'm not particularly knowledgeable on the subject, but there seems to be little moral evaluation of Trotsky, in particular his sheer ruthlessless during the Civil War, one of the most brutal conflicts in recent history. The description of his role in the civil war - given that it appears to have been his most significant contribution - doesn't appear to examine his policies in detail and the long quotes are of limited interest. Perhaps an argument could be made that his ruthlessness was at least partially necessary, but there isn't any attempt to evaluate his role in detail. Is there any mention of the famous decimation policy? The article reads as if it was written or repeatedly edited to create a generally sympathetic portrayal.
For instance, see this review of Robert Service's biography of Trotsky mentioning some of his civil war policies:
DF 18.104.22.168 (talk) 14:02, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
This is a link to a review of a biography of Trotsky, that amounts to an anti-Trotskyist rant by the notorious anti-Trostsky historical falsifer R Service that is also riddelled with basic factual errors
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/nov2009/serv-n11.shtml —Preceding unsigned comment added by FDoric (talk • contribs) 11:07, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Someone changed the lede of the article to read
Leon Trotsky (Russian: Лев Давидович Трóцкий (help·info), Ukrainian: Лев Давидович Троцький (Lev Davidovich Trotsky, also translated Leo, Lyev, Trotski, Trotskij, Trockij and Trotzky) November 7, [O.S. October 26] 1879 – August 21, 1940), born Leyba Davidov(ich) Bronstein (Russian and Ukrainian: Лейба Давидович Бронштéйн)[1]...
In the references section, we see the citation:
1 ^ See photocopy of Trotsky police file in v.IV 'Russian Arkhiv', Moscow, 1989. Thus the translator's ref. '1' in Trotsky's 'My Life' is partly inaccurate.
This is a highly dubious reference, although various anti-semitic texts do say that Trotsky's "real" name was "Leyba". The only Russian books that mention a "Leyba Bronstein" are extremely right-wing, anti-semitic pieces seeking to give Trotsky the most stereotypical Yiddish-sounding name in order to better fit the conspiracy-theory notion of Jewish Bolshevism. (Many Bolsheviks took pseudonyms as a result of their revolutionary activities.) While it is not possible to prove a negative, in all my research on Bolsheviks in general and Trotsky in particular I haven't come across any English-language sources calling Trotsky "Leyba." Not surprisingly, this version of Trotsky's name was removed from the Russian Wikipedia as WP:OR a long time ago, and it was repeatedly noted that the only people who call Trotsky "Leyba" are anti-semites. I'm going to remove it from the Anglophone version also, as I believe it doesn't really belong unless verifiable sources for it are found. Anti-Nationalist (talk) 20:41, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Pretty funny to read that. Do you now that the State Language of late Russian Empire was Russian? Or - are you really DO think that the Police officers in RE were writing their files in English - just for your pleasere? Orwell was in the top right, saying, that for Commi's history is just the matter of today's opinion. :( Alex Z-n —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 08:47, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Alleged Opposition to German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact
Hitler came to power in 1933. Trotsky died in 1925. The non-aggression pact was not signed until 1939. With all due respect, the statement that "Trotsky also opposed Stalin's peace agreements with Adolf Hitler in the 1930s" is inconsistent with these date facts. I am not disputing that Trotsky was "An early advocate of Red Army intervention against European fascism", only that Stalin and Hitler's pact occurred after Trotsky's death, so that it was impossible for Trotsky to oppose that particular pact. However, it is quite correct to say that Trotsky opposed German-Soviet peace agreements in the form of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which was signed in 1918, since Trotsky was very much alive at the time, and who was a (reluctant) signatory to the treaty. I will amend the article to reflect this. Note that I have no axe to grind. I am simply trying to be accurate from the perspective of the dates involved. Please check it out carefully. See Stalin, Hitler, and Soviet–German relations before 1941 pages for corroboration.
Deceglie (talk) 14:46, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- Trotsky died in 1940. I have no idea where you got the 1925 date from. His opposition to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact is very well documented in his works. I reverted the edit since the original facts are quite well known. Cadriel (talk) 16:32, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Contributions to Theory
Surely Trotsky's contributions to theory go beyond the Permanent Revolution and the United Front. He also developed ideas around the Soviet Union being a Degenerated workers' state, entryism around the 'French turn', his analysis of fascism and the Transitional Program.Votemoose (talk) 12:49, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Ice axe / icepick
I remember reading at some point that the implement that Trotsky was killed with wasn't a mountaineering ice axe / icepick, but rather an icepick for breaking up ice that a barman might use before putting it in a drink. Is there any evidence for this? Am I completely wrong? I always thought it strange that there would be a mountaineering icepick in Mexico... VenomousConcept (talk) 10:44, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- According to Robert Service, it was an ice axe, not an ice pick. Apparently the ice axe had its handle sawn back, and the assassin also carried a dagger with it under his raincoat (on a sunny day). The idea was to commit the deed and get away undetected. Remember, this was a "professional" hit, not a target of opportunity done with improvised weapons.--Pharos (talk) 13:24, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- And remarkably, this particular item has been in museum exhibitions (with photo).--Pharos (talk) 13:27, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

"Started" Pravda
Trotsky did not "start" Pravda—he was invited to edit it in 1908. Can someone make this fix? Here's the ref.: http://www.jstor.org/stable/150476?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents Pravda started in 1903. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 20:38, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

- The Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:17, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
It says here that Trotsky's reputation was officially "rehabilitated" by the Russian government in 2001. Should that not be added to the article? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 04:59, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
When Trotsky was nine, his father sent him to Odessa to be educated
according to his autobiography 'my life` his father was not very keen on education; on the contrary he even opposed to send him to odessa. so this sentence should be rephrased. --ArazZeynili (talk) 19:01, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
Split with Lenin (1903–1904)
Because this sentence
Lenin later denounced Trotsky as a "Judas",[2] a "scoundrel"[3] and a "swine".[4]
references denouncements made in 1911 or later, it seems misplaced in the section for 1903-1904.

Re: USDA Funding[ Edited ]
01-27-2013 10:53 AM - edited 01-27-2013 11:03 AM
I'm currently in the stages of applying for USDA direct. I just filled out the pre approval and now they have sent me the offical ones. I've talked to the lady in the PA office (I think in Lebanon) a few times. She tells me that theres not a huge rush for me to fill it out because currently there is a wait list. There is no funding right now. They don't expect to know anymore about fundng until Feb. At my office, she said the line was about 7 applicants. So since you already applied in dec., if there is more funding in feb. and you don't have too many people in front of you on the wait list, then you should get funding.
It is worth waiting. You won't have to pay a PMI, you won't need to put down a downpayment, your interest may be subsidized, and I believe you would qualify for a bigger loan using USDA Direct.
The only con is the waiting. If you're willing to wait, then go for it. If not, if you don't get the funding in Feb. (or whenever they get more money) , you may not get any until the next fiscal year for them, which starts in Nov? maybe earlier.
My back up plan for the USDA Direct, since I'm not willing to wait that long is going FHA. I'm going to apply for downpayment assistance, you would qualify too I assume. In my county, we'll have to go to a 1-1 session and take a class. They will put down upto 5k to 7k depending on where you live in the county.

China Steel Growth Has Flattened as Economy Shifts, BHP Says
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company, said China's steel production is slowing as the world's fastest-growing major economy starts to shift to focus more on consumers than large building projects.
"The big infrastructure build clearly will come to some end," Ian Ashby, the Melbourne-based company's president of iron ore, told reporters today in Perth. "Steel growth rates will flatten, and they have flattened, and we still see positive growth out to the middle of the next decade."
The Australian dollar dropped for the first time in four days after the comments as Rio Tinto Group, the world's second-largest iron ore exporter, said at a conference in Perth that it's seeing a slowdown in China, its biggest customer. Premier Wen Jiabao this month cut the nation's economic annual growth target to 7.5 percent and an official at the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said vehicle sales this year may miss the industry group's forecast.
"The rate of GDP growth in China is more immediately slowing," Rio's David Joyce, managing director of expansion projects, said at the conference. "We remain confident on the basis of the figures we have seen, of a soft landing, with solid growth for this year."
Dollar Declines
Australia's dollar lost 0.4 percent to $1.0564 at 6:17 p.m. in Sydney after climbing 1.5 percent over the past three days. The so-called Aussie slid 0.3 percent to 88.12 yen from 88.40 yesterday, when it rose as high as 88.64, the highest since May 2011. BHP closed 0.1 percent lower at A$35.31 and London-based Rio declined 0.4 percent. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index retreated 0.4 percent.
"There will be further risk that the Chinese economy will be slowing down" more than expected, said Lee Wai Tuck, a currency strategist at Forecast Pte in Singapore.
Steel output in China, the biggest producer, may slow growth to 4 percent this year, the China Iron and Steel Association said March 6. China's vehicle sales may only increase by 5 percent this year, compared with the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers forecast of 8 percent, as economic conditions damp demand, Gu Xianghua, deputy secretary general of the association said today in Qingdao.
Weak Demand
Tire production growth in China, the world's largest automobile market, may slow this year to 5 percent as a weaker economy saps sales in the commercial-vehicle market, Shen Jinrong, chairman of Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co., a Chinese tiremaker, said today in Qingdao. Output grew 6.05 percent in 2011, according to the China Rubber Industry Association.
Iron ore prices have averaged $141.14 a metric ton this year, down 16 percent from last year's average, according to data from The Steel Index Ltd. for iron ore shipments to China's Tianjin port. The steelmaking raw material may average $86 a ton by 2016, Bank of America Corp.'s Merrill Lynch unit said in a report dated yesterday.
"The type of economy that's being developed in China is changing," Ashby said. It "will go through a phase of things like machinery and equipment becoming more important as people get up that GDP per head curve," he said.
Double Capacity
China's steel demand will remain positive until at least 2025, he said. BHP is doubling iron ore capacity by 2020 and in January received initial approval for a A$14 billion ($15 billion) expansion of an export harbor in Western Australia to boost supply to steel mills. The cost estimate is from a report last year by the state's Department of Mines and Petroleum.
"We're still confident in the long-term demand for commodities generally, of which iron ore is one, as one-third of the global population is urbanizing and the population is getting bigger," Ashby said. The company hasn't "slowed down" its plans to add more capacity, he said.
Rio is also expanding its mines and sees its global production approaching 450 million tons a year in the next five years, it said on March 7. Its increasing output by more than 50 percent to 283 million tons by next year. Iron ore is both Rio and BHP's biggest earning units.
BHP, whose biggest customer is also China, is re-evaluating spending plans amid slowing Chinese growth, the Australian Financial Review reported today, citing Chairman Jacques Nasser's comments to investors. China accounted for 28 percent of BHP's sales in the last financial year and 31 percent of Rio's.
Steel output in China will grow to between 1 billion metric tons and 1.1 billion tons by 2025 from about 700 million tons currently, Ashby said.

Fastweb, Vodafone, Wind in Broadband Plan
ROME—Telecommunications service operators FastWeb SpA, Wind SpA and the Italian unit of Vodafone Group PLC will announce on Friday a joint project aimed at boosting Italy's broadband infrastructure in a five-year deal valued at €2.5 billion ($3.25 billion).
People familiar with the situation said Wednesday that the three companies aim to replace the traditional copper network with a broadband network able to provide high-speed services to about 15 major Italian cities, sharing the investment burden.
The project will also be open to all other operators, including incumbent Telecom Italia SpA, which owns the existing fixed-line network.
The plan will be unveiled Friday at a joint news conference in Milan, the people said.
Telecom Italia has repeatedly said it will be ready to discuss shared investment in key fiberoptic infrastructure and join forces with rivals to boost broadband development in the country. But it has also made clear that the company's key fixed-line network should remain under its control.
"Certainly the effort that all the operators must make to provide infrastructure for the country can only but gain from this type of initiative," Telecom Italia Chief Executive Franco Bernabe said Wednesday. "Telecom Italia has always and will continue to play its part," he added.
Telecom Italia has said it plans to invest €7 billion in Italy's network infrastructure and information technology over the next three years as part of its 2010-12 plan, which focuses on cost cutting and debt reduction.
Officials at Fastweb, Vodafone and Wind declined to comment.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley said in a research note Wednesday that pressure to invest more in a high-speed network will intensify this year in Italy.
Italian telecom regulator Agcom has openly backed the creation of a new company in charge of building up key broadband infrastructure—based on a consortium of operators and private and public investors.
Agcom recently approved a proposal to increase unbundling tariffs, which Telecom Italia charges its rivals to access its fixed-line network, provided that Italy's largest operator improves its network through greater investment.
The agency also pushed for the former monopoly to update Italy's communications infrastructure with the creation of a next-generation broadband network that would close the gap with some other European countries.
Alternative operators, however, have openly opposed the proposed rise in unbundling tariffs, saying it would further delay broadband development in Italy, while lamenting the lack of investment by Telecom Italia.
Speculation in the market rose in recent months that larger Spanish rival Telefonica SA—already a shareholder in Telecom Italia through holding company Telco—could make a bid for Telecom Italia in order to expand its footprint in high-growth Latin American markets where the two overlap. Still, despite the prospect of more infrastructure investment such a deal could bring, analysts noted that it would also raise serious concerns about the ownership of Italy's strategic network infrastructure.
Telefonica TEF -3.60 % has publicly declined to comment on the speculation, and any such proposal would face significant regulatory hurdles.

I found this recipe in a healthy heart cookbook. I thought the addition of tea to a smoothie was quite interesting. I'm not really a tea drinker so thought this was a good way to get the anti-oxidants without the tea taste. Tastes really yummy too!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2⁄3 cup boiling water
- 1 tea bag
- 425 g canned peaches, drained, reserving 1/3 cup syrup
- 1⁄3 cup low-fat plain yogurt or 1⁄3 cup vanilla yogurt
- 2 teaspoons grenadine
- Pour boiling water over tea bag and allow to steep for 5 minutes, discard bag and allow tea to cool.
- Blend peaches, syrup, tea and yoghurt until smooth.
- Swirl grenadine into 2 glasses and pour in peach mixture.
Most Helpful
I really enjoyed this. I used white tea and fresh sweet juicy peaches. I peeled the peaches and used a tablespoon of honey to make up for not having any syrup. Had to add a splash of skim milk to thin it out a bit. Was very peachy and good! :)
I enjoyed this using ordinary tea. Next time I will try freezing some green tea or ordinary tea in cubes to make it colder. Certainly a keeper for me :)

I was given this fantastic script, from @Phil, that helped get my out of a stump and it works perfectly in my application. But because I'm so new to javascript I can't figure out how to make the images animate opacity in and animate opacity out.
// jQuery syntactic sugar to run after page loads
$(function () {
// attach a click event to anything with a data-file attribute
$("[data-file]").on('click', function (evt) {
// figure out what was clicked
var clickedEl = $(evt.target);
// get the data-file attribute
var dataFile = clickedEl.attr('data-file');
var container = $(".bom_container");
// empty the div
// create image element
var img = $("<img/>").attr("src", dataFile)
// add it to the container
// or update the background image
// container.css('background-image','url('+ dataFile +')');
When the links are clicked on, these images open in a container. But again, I would like the images to ease in instead of just BOOM APPEAR. Is there somewhere I can add animate opacity to this script or do I have to add an whole new script?

Feb 21, 2013While Glu Mobile doesn't stray too far from what made the first Gun Bros. so great, there's still a part of me that would have liked to see the game take a few more risks, and really introduce some things we've never seen before. But that's still a really minor complaint, as this is still a Gun Bros. game we're talking about here, and as such, it's a complete blast to play through.
Feb 21, 2013Where the game falters (and it's minor, really) is the repetition that comes from grinding and the somewhat lengthy load times between missions. But if you cut your virtual teeth on the likes of Smash TV and Total Carnage, Gun Bros 2 should find its way onto your favorite device, maybe longer than expected, considering Glu plans to add more MODS and vehicles in future updates.
Feb 22, 2013Gun Bros 2 isn't a clever game in the conventional sense but it's been keenly designed to draw players in. It's a potent mix of achievements and that sense that even 10 minutes can further the cause substantially.
Feb 27, 2013Gun Bros 2 packs in lots of new bells and whistles, but essentially suffers from the same grind-heavy gunplay and cynical IAP-driven progression system as the first game.
Mar 8, 2013Assuming you're in the mood for some grinding and you're willing to accept the fact that a lot of content is effectively locked behind freemium elements, I'd say Gun Bros 2 is worth checking out.
Mar 4, 2013You see 'Gun Bros 2' isn't exactly engrossing; it's actually repetitive at best. There's an initial piquing of interest as you hoist those oversized bits of kit around, putting colourful things out of their misery, but it's not enough to keep you coming back long term.
Feb 27, 2013Gun Bros 2 is a serviceable twin-stick shooter hampered by a miserable free-to-play model that punishes the player for not paying.

A fun little tribute to some of the most classic structures at Disneyland.
So cool and retro ^^
Your work is always so lovely. Even a fairly simple concept like this is rendered wonderfully.
Cool retro backdrops. The chunky line-art makes this.
Great little illustrations in their own right.

I have a Western Digital Passport External Hard Drive (320GB) that I want to partition to keep the data on, but use some of the free space to install Windows 7 onto my desktop computer. Microsoft has given me the Windows 7 Enterprise Edition ISO to download. I would like to take the External HD and partition it so I can fit the ISO image onto it. How would I go about doing this?
Trying to use GParted to partition the external hard drive has caused a chicken or the egg problem. GParted can't see the drive unless it's mounted, and when it is mounted it will not allow me to do anything to the partition. When it's not mounted, GParted can't see the drive at all and as such can't do anything to the drive.
Once the drive is correctly partition, how do I go about moving the ISO image Microsoft gave me to my USB External Hard Drive? Are there any special steps that I need to take?
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 & GParted 0.7.0, on my Chromebook to do this. Any support would be appreciated.

"SS unions are not biologically capable of being equal with traditional
marriage. Now watch the SS crowd scream about infertile traditional couples.
Sorry, you cannot define the group solely by the outlying exceptions."
I agree. I also note that the reason that I love my aged mother and I can't be named as a beneficiary on her SS when she dies which is a right that gay partners say they should have because they love their partner.
I think that the reason that in the eyes of the law that I cannot receive this benefit is because I don't have sex with mother. So by that logic, what makes a marriage a marriage is that the individuals involved are having sex with one another.
So therefore, how often do they have to have sex? Three times a week. Is the marriage annuled if one becomes impotent. Should we have the police investigate if people are having sex. Gay marriage has a lot of outlying exceptions too.

Thank you for describing to a "t" what a civil union is. That is exactly what the government should be in the business of. Licensing and providing civil benefits without discrimination.
What is at issue here is that the LGBT refuse any option other than to steal "marriage" and make it less than it was. Marriage belongs as a religious ordinance performed according to the dictates of that specific religion. If civil and religious marriages were separated, theere would be no risk of violating religious freedoms, which is what we are fearful of.
I also fear the precedent set by protecting a behavior (homosexuality). What behavior will we set apart as protected next?

If you are a proponent of civil unions, the fair and equal way of doing that would be for all people--gay or straight--to have government civil unions and completely do away with government-issued marriages. Is that what you are proposing?
Or, do you believe that straight people should have government-issued marriage licenses while gay people should have civil unions? If so, what is the rational basis for discriminating against gay and lesbian people and affording their relationships less rights and recognition than straight relationships.
Note: If you believe straight marriages are unique because of their possibility to procreate and tie parents to biological children, fairness and equality (which is mandatory under the law) would require that the government also only grant civil unions to those who are too old to procreate or medically unable to procreate.
The Deseret News has published at least two stories in the last two years about people who are terminally ill getting married on their death beds. How does this fit your model? Obviously someone who is terminally ill cannot procreate and raise their biological children. Would you recommend a civil union in these cases too?

"Some things are always worth fighting for, including real families. "
Yes, which is why I support marriage equality.
By the way, it's obvious that "BLT" is your way of mocking the LGBT movement in such a way that can make it through moderation because made up slurs don't count.

Redwings says:

So we're "stealing" marriage and making it "less" than it was. Oops, you heterosexuals are the ones who made it "less than it was" by cheating on your spouses, divorcing willy-nilly and taking it for granted. LGBT couples marrying does nothing to "lessen" marriage; it also isn't "stolen"; you will still have it.

"This is only true if the same God who created gays..."
God created almost all people with some personal foibles to work on and overcome.

Housing growth is prevalent in rural areas in the United States and landscape fragmentation is one of its many effects. Since the 1930s, rural sprawl has been increasing in areas rich in recreational amenities. The question is how housing growth has affected landscape fragmentation. We thus tested three hypotheses relating land cover and land ownership to density and spatial pattern of buildings, and examined whether building density or spatial pattern of buildings was a better predictor for landscape fragmentation. Housing locations were mapped from 117 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic maps across northern Wisconsin. Patch-level landscape metrics were calculated on the terrestrial area remaining after applying 50, 100 and 250 m disturbance zones around each building. Our results showed that building density and the spatial pattern of buildings were affected mostly by lake area, public land ownership, and the abundance of coniferous forest, agricultural land, and grassland. A full 40% of the houses were within 100 m of lakeshores. The clustering of buildings within 100 m of lakeshores limited fragmentation farther away. In contrast, agricultural and grassland areas were correlated with higher building density, higher fragmentation, and more dispersed building pattern possible legacies of agricultural settlement patterns. Understanding which factors influence building density and fragmentation is useful for landscape level planning and ecosystem management in northern Wisconsin and areas that share similar social and environmental constraints.

With a lot of seniors lacking activities, Boardman Park has been hosting Senior Fun Days at the Lariccia Family Communuty Center for more than a decade to help keep them occupied. The latest Senior Fun Day was on June 26.
"We've been doing this for 11 years now," Boardman Park recreation director Karen McCallum said. "It's in partnership with Senior Independence, Sunrise Assisted Living, Sateri Homes and the Blackburn Home. They all help make these days possible."
The events are hosted twice a month, on the third and fourth Thursdays of each month.
"You can only come to one or the other since we have so many seniors that come to the event," McCallum said.
The activities vary. The June 26 fun day events consisted of blood pressure screenings, exercises, crafts, lunch consisting of Isaly's chip chop ham and barbecue sauce, and bingo. The cost is $1 for all area seniors.
"It's a great opportunity to socialize with others," McCallum said. "Just like we encourage kids to, socializing and get involved. It's a great way to stay active and socialize with their friends on a monthly basis."
McCallum said each fun day attracts approximately 70 seniors.
Each funday also has a guest speaker. The speaker on June 26 was Aileena Bender of the Area Agency on Aging, who spoke about hospice care and end of life care, and how people can volunteer and help out with Hospice House.
Chris Anderson of Boardman attended the fun day, as she has done for many years.
"I've been coming to this for years, ever since it started," she said. "It's just a nice get-together with a lot of people you might not see on a regular basis."
Anderson was asked which activities she was looking forward to the most.
"A little bingo. Lunch is always good," she said.
McCallum said any senior wishing to sign up for future Senior Fun Days can RSVP by calling the Boardman Park office at 330-726-8107.

Great product and great price, much cheaper than local salon
Love this product!
Very quick delivery and delighted with the product
Great produce the spray is just right for my pixie hair cut with a spay you don't put to much on.
Évaluation du service : no commetnsProduit : Very week fixation, doesn't last long at all
reasonably happy with it, it does the job although there are other products that are as good but are cheaper.
After reading another review saying it smelt terrible i was a bit reluctant to buy this product. It's fine, not at all unpleasant. I have been looking for a replacement for Wella crackle wax, which was discontinued, for ages and have tried many different products this is by far the best and will definitely be buying in the future.
Have used product before, reason for purchasing again.
Don't like this one texture or smell
Great service as always.
excellent service
Évaluation du service : Rien a redire, bien emballé, rapiditéProduit : N'est pas une texture "mousse" cire comme l'était play ball wax de l'Oréal et ne donne pas la coiffure attendue, plutot collante
Perfect for my hair
Cheaper than my hairdresser
For me this a great product for my short hair as I always put to much on when I use wax in a pot so for me the spray is just fantastic.
I always use this product but I am sure there must be a better product around.
very good product, better than a hair spray
Love this product for great texture without stickiness and weight.
Évaluation du service : Site sérieuxProduit : Produit intéressant, utilization semblable à une laque mais avec un effet "wax", "cire" supplémentaire. Permet de recoiffer pendant la journée.
Gentle on hair
Excellent product for a scrunchy look
Always a good product

Mental Ward: Raw
Open mic comedy can be a real mixed bag (you never really know what to expect on stage). But no matter how terrible or talented one open mic performance might be, the right unfiltered, raw vibe can transform an otherwise awkward room into Showtime at the Apollo. And thats the gutsy mentality behind Open Mic Comedy Night at the Mental Ward (1931 S. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale).
The Tuesday night session is a comedy night for comedians, where local working funny people like Matt Zigan, Lisa Corrao, Hansen Sinclair, and Ivan Hernandez show up weekly to try out their newest and rawest material. Zigan, an unapologetically blue comic who got his start there last December, explains the night like this: Its totally freeform, and there are no rules. Whatever comic gets there first will host it. It starts late and always ends late. Its a room where we can just come in and let loose. Even though the comics involved are there to escape the firm rules of club comedy, Zigan and company actually encourage the Apollo-like heckling that goes down. That may sound daunting to newcomers, but its all in good humor. Comedians will tear each other up, says Zigan. But actually youll get jokes out of it sometimes. If someone insults you really, really well you can keep it and use it. The show usually gets underway around 10 p.m. and runs until 2 a.m., and is free to attend. Call 954-764-7664.
