The Life Of Leon Trotsky. Enemy number one.Part 2.

The revolution for Leiba Bronstein began with a love story. In the underground South-Russian workers ' Union, he met with Alexandra Sokolovskaya. They were arrested in one day, both received five years of Siberian exile, which went together-before sending to the stage they were married in prison. Leiba's parents were categorically against the marriage, but the son did his own way. He spent 1 year and 10 months in the cell before the verdict. At this time he was under the supervision of a ferocious supervisor named Trotsky. Even the prison authorities were afraid of this person. In the new name — all that is deprived of a young prisoner: the personification of physical strength, unwavering self-confidence, the ability to submit to his will. And in the winter of 1902, Bronstein first inscribed this name in his fake passport. So there is a new Trotsky — revolutionary pseudonym, which will be known to the world. And a man so different from the old Labe. Like along with the new name he receives and the hard nature of his jailer.

To escape from exile, Trotsky helped wife: a few days, she successfully concealed from the guards of the prison escape of her husband. Chase Trotsky did not — decided that the harsh Siberian winter will kill him before. Alexandra Sokolovskaya remained in prison with her two small daughters. She hoped that her husband would come back for her, but then she had no idea how this story would end for her.
