Trotsky and his assassin revealed

Asaltar Los Cielos (To Assault The Skies), a major new docu-drama
on the death of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky is attempting
to tell the whole truth about the demise of one of the most
contentious men of the 20th Century.
And for the first time it tells the story of the mystery man who
may have changed the course of history - Ramon Mercader, the
Spanish Communist who travelled to Mexico on Stalin's orders,
befriended Trotsky and was his assassin.
Trotsky was one of the leaders of the Bolshevik revolution which
brought down Tzarist Russia and helped create the Soviet Union.
After the death of Lenin in 1924, Trotsky was seen by many as his
natural successor, but he was outmanouevred by Stalin. He soon
fell out of favour with the new regime and was forced to flee
abroad. Stalin ordered the death of the man he saw as a threat to
the future of his hard-line state.
The runaway revolutionary was finally killed in Mexico in August,
1940, by an agent of Stalin - Mercader. Historians and communists
still argue what what would have happened to Russia had Trotsky
lived and defeated Stalin. And how different the world map would
look today.
