Why did Trotskii lose?

Warning: Undefined array key "" in /home3/russianp/public_html/books/fullBookDetails.php on line 61

This book is about the struggle for power inside the Bolshevik party in 1922-1927. According to Sirotkin, the primary reasons of the failed Bolsheviks` experiment is not that they did not follow the doctrine of Marx, Lenin, Trotskii, or Stalin, but in different "starting material" from the West, beginning with natural conditions and finishing with the social structure of imperial Russia. Trotskii, up to his loss in 1927, kept the hope that the world revolution would give a helping hand to peasant Russia. Unlike him Stalin was not a hostage of this or any theory, and was seeking only for the dictatorial power. When he got it, he found the answers to the typically Russian questions: "What is to be done?" and "Who is quilty?". The author lays out the essence of Stalin’s national-bolshevism and the society he started to build.
