Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

August 20, 2025
Q: It has been claimed that Trotsky's assassination was inevitable. Do you agree with this assessment? Or could it have been prevented?
While it was inevitable that there would be an attempt on his life, whether it would be successful was not inevitable; it succeeded due to a failure in basic security.
August 20, 2025
Q: Why was it necessary for Stalin to kill Trotsky? Was this simply an act of political vengeance against an old political opponent? Or did Stalin really have a reason to fear Trotsky?
It was certainly an act of political vengeance, as well as a response to the fear Stalin felt regarding Trotsky's political influence on a global scale.
