Leon Trotsky
Leon Trotsky was a Marxist writer and organiser who became a significant Bolshevik leader and chairman of the St Petersburg Soviet; organising several strikes in the capital. Trotsky had reflected that 1905 had failed as a revolution as protestors were disunited and inexperienced. The 1905 Revolution had lacked the participation of the key revolutionary leader (Trotsky) as he remained in exile. Trotsky concluded that the tsarist system ‘although with a few broken ribs had come out of the experience of 1905 alive and strong’.
