Netflix’s Trotsky: A toxic combination of historical fabrication and blatant anti-Semitism
8 March 2019

Netflix is currently presenting to its worldwide audience the virulently anti-Semitic television series, Trotsky, which was originally produced by the Russian state in 2017.

Esteban Volkov, Trotsky’s 93-year old grandson, has recently denounced the series as “a political assault, masked as historical drama” and “a justification of the murder of the ‘monster’ called Trotsky.” The Latin American edition of the Spanish newspaper El Pais has described the series as the “second assassination of Leon Trotsky” and rejected its portrayal of the revolutionary “as a sadist, a complete traitor, and as a puppet.”

Alors que vient de sortir Hérétiques, c’est l’occasion de revenir sur le précédent roman de Leonardo Padura consacré à Ramon Mercader, l’assassin de Trotski :

L’homme qui aimait les chiens - Métaphores

Roman monumental où la réalité (l’assassinat de Trotski par Ramon Mercader à Mexico) surpasse la fiction, L’homme qui aimait les chiens explore la mécanique infernale du stalinisme, vue comme une bombe à retardement.
