Leon TrotskyPolitical activity 1919-1921
When the Comintern was created in 1919, Leon Trotsky was the author of its Manifesto.
In March 1919, the VIII Congress of the RCP(b) recreated the Bolshevik Politburo as a permanent body, and Trotsky became a member of the first Politburo of the Central Committee of the RCP(b).
On May 16, 1921, newspapers wrote about a possible coup by Trotsky and Kamenev.
In 1922, on the basis of dissatisfaction with the activities of the Rabkrin and the solution of the national question, an alliance between Trotsky and Lenin began to take shape again, but Lenin fell ill and retired from political life.
After expulsion from Spain, Trotsky, along with his family, arrived in the United States on January 13, 1917. The next ten weeks was in New York. His arrival was widely covered in the local press. In the United States, Trotsky collaborated with the émigré newspapers Novy Mir, Nashe Slovo, and the Jewish workers' newspaper Vorverts, criticizing liberal views and opposing America's participation in the First World War. The revolutionary did not expect an imminent change of power in the Russian Empire and was going to stay in the United States for a long time. Trotsky's study of US statistics from that period led him to think about America's decisive role in post-war world development. He was also active in politics: his speeches at rallies and "political banquets" were successful - in addition, he gathered around him a group of supporters from among the members of the Socialist Party and took part in the creation of the newspaper "Class Struggle". Trotsky left the US after the amnesty for political emigrants announced in Russia after the February Revolution.

In 1906, at the widely publicized trial of the St. Petersburg Soviet, Trotsky was sentenced to permanent settlement in Siberia with the deprivation of all civil rights. On the way to Obdorsk (today Salekhard) he fled from Berezov. Biographers of the revolutionary wrote about the events of 1905 as a "turning point" in the life of one of the future organizers of the October Revolution.
