__Early life of Leon Trotsky__


 * Lev Davidovich Bronshtein (he assumed the name Leon Trotsky in 1902) was born in Yanovka, [|Russia] , on 7th November, 1879 .Lev was an exeptionally bright and capable student, and in 1896 he moved to Nicolayev to complete his secondary education and to study matematics. This is where Lev turned revolutionary.  [|In 1905]   Trotsky returned to Russia where he participated actively in the first Russian Revolution, and in December that year he was elected President of the St Petersburg Soviet. However, Trotsky and several other members of the St. Petersburg Soviet were soon arrested, and after a trial they were deported to Western Siberia in January 1907.
