Leon Trotsky is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Profiled in Thinkers of the 20th Century
Born Lev Davidovich Bronstein into a Jewish farming family in Ukraine, Trotsky became a leading Marxist theorist, organizer of the October Revolution and founder of the Red Army. His writings on permanent revolution and his opposition to Stalin, who exiled and later had him assassinated in Mexico, made him a central figure of 20th-century political thought. His Jewish origins are well documented, though he identified as an internationalist rather than by religion.
