Moscow a one of Russia s most famous revolutionaries Leon d. Trotsky i virtually ignored in a new party history of the 1917 bolshevik seizure of Power. The new Book reiterates rewriting  dating Back to the late soviet dictator Jose Stalin s Days to attacks on Trot sky and portray him As merely one of Many communists who took part in the revolution. The new Book also mentions Stalin by name 36 times but mostly in routine listings of persons attending meetings. Trotsky is considered by Western historians second in importance Only to the Leader of the communist seizure of of foot ignores Trotsky m Power v. I.  the 608-Page Book issued last weekend devotes Little at Tention to Trotsky s role in the  does not mention the fact that he was instrumental in activities in Petrograd now Lenin Grad leading up to the novem Ber 7 communist takeover and the fact that he founded there army after the revolt , the volume Book one of part three in the official history of the party repeats Stalin Era charges that Trotsky was anti Leninist. Covering the tumultuous period from March 1917 to March 1918, the Book repeats charge that Trotsky was guilty of a Lack of Faith in the internal forces of the revolution be cause he demanded that world revolution come before build ing communism in Russia. But the Book indicates slight shift in emphasis by not using the phrase enemy of leninism by which Trotsky is branded in the soviet encyclopedia. The encyclopedia is consid ered authoritative but it was published in 1956 and a new Edi Tion is being prepared. Observers noted that the phrase enemy of leninism might not logically arise in the new party history Book because the period covered is not onegin which Trotsky is accused of crimes against the soviet peo ple. It remains to be seen whether later volumes of the history so far slow in being written would Sharpen the criticism of Trotsky As they covered later years of soviet history. Trotsky lost out in a Power struggle with Stalin was exiled and later murdered in mex Ico. While playing Down the role of Trotsky the new history vol ume devotes lavish Praise to Lenin s part in the revolution and attributes most key developments of 1917 to him either directly or indirectly. One Section discussing activities in Petrograd leading up to the revolution accuses Stalin of haying a letter by Grigory y. Zinoviev published in party newspaper without prior editorial Board approval. Zinoviev who was one of Lenin s closest disciples and a key figure in the revolution was shot As an enemy of the people during Stalin s purges in 1936. Like Trotsky he continues to be portrayed in offi Cial histories As a traitor. Stalin himself was denounced in 1956 by then Premier Nikita s. Khrushchev. Gradual Steps toward Stalin s partial rehabilitation since then have taken the form of world War ii histories praising his wartime Leader ship. Non nuclear neighbors could be tempted to acquire nuclear weapons or they might per haps undertake immediate preventive military action the said.
