Now some are trying to rehabilitate Trotsky. In 2010, the exhibition was "The Lion of the Revolution" in the former mansion of ballerina Kshesinskaya, where the Bolsheviks staged their center. Despite the fact that many of the exhibits demonstrate against Trotsky, there are those who write articles in his defense. Read: "Recently it even saw a frustrated alternative to Joseph Stalin."
More recently, it seemed to me that this topic is outdated, and suddenly in a large bookstore Fnac in Paris, I saw a thick book on Trotsky and the Trotskyists. Written by a young Trotskyite. From the book shows how they are proud of them. This - their banner.
Two days ago suddenly found on the Internet is very interesting and important book by Professor AP Stoleshnikov "Rehabilitation will not be", where open unknown facts, please read.
There is a chapter on Trotsky:

From this we see how to actually make a "revolution."
On French TV recently passed the film, which tells that Trotsky was very popular among the communists of France. Most of them were Trotskyists. Apparently, the followers of those who waited for world revolution, Trotsky in France. Few of them in France, but they were very active. Especially in 1968. They were at the demonstrations, created unrest mutili students. On the streets of erecting barricades, burned cars, smashed the showcases, fought with police ... before the first killing of a young man.
Then, in 1968, the French government was forced to close on time education. Speakers have achieved much, and in particular - the abolition of the traditional system of classical education in high school. Thus, in the Art Institute they razglagolstvuya of creative freedom, insisted on the abolition of the course of academic drawing. (Recall that even such a destructive forms as Picasso was at first a classical art education. By the way, his father taught painting and drawing. But it gave him a firm hand and a base on which it relied all his life.)
But the main thing that sought speakers - is a change of President De Gaulle (Christian-Catholic, who had great authority after the war - he was said to be "a symbol of French resistance") for the Georges Pompidou (socialist and advocate of "modern art", not gift center bears his name).
Feminist movement was merged with this common struggle for the so-called "freedom" (they require the permission of "free love" and "freedom of abortion"). Here's a "demonkratiya. Feminists - revolutionary woman follower of Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg, and his supporters will this year celebrate March 8, the century of its motion. Held in Copenhagen on August 27, 1910 Second International Socialist Women's Conference decided "to establish a daily struggle for women's rights" in March. It is interesting to note that on 8 March by the new style - is Feb. 23 in the old style.
I should add that in France that day, March 8, do not celebrate (except for a narrow range), despite the fact that he was someone called "international". The celebration of this day is considered bad manners ("mauvais ton" - and the French say). In France there is a separate, highly respected, the feast of the mother, which is celebrated on the last Sunday of May. A Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. The French have another holiday neighbors - the last Tuesday of May. (It is believed that "in modern France: 84%of believers - Christians, Catholics, 1,5%- Protestants, 4.5%- Muslim 1.3%- the Jews").
According to the Orthodox calendar, March 7, begins Lent, which lasts until the bright holiday of Christ's Resurrection (April 24 this year). Dear women celebrate the day of the holy myrrh-bearing women, on the second Sunday after Easter this year - May 8.
