The official web site of the Russian Ministry of Culture, which oversees
the State Museum of Political History, stated in its commentary about
the exhibition: “A professional revolutionary and political figure,
Trotsky was one of the leaders of the October insurrection of the
Bolsheviks in Petrograd; he made no small contribution to the
establishment of the Soviet state and the creation of the Red Army
during the Civil War.”
