it seems like there was a post a while back about some happenings in ChYna back during this time, too.

Chyna had a 'revolution' which I think was mostly funded and assisted by 'outsiders' .

First started around 1911-12 when a the Dynasty was overthrown to create a dictatorship….pre communist…Bolsheviks from Russian.?

Until this point in his life, Trotsky had used his birth name: Lev (Leon) Bronstein. [31] He changed his surname to "Trotsky"—the name he would use for the rest of his life.

It is said he adopted the name of a jailer of the Odessa prison in which he had earlier been held.[32] This became his primary revolutionary pseudonym. After his escape from Siberia, Trotsky moved to London, joining Georgi Plekhanov, Vladimir Lenin, Julius Martov and other editors of Iskra. Under the pen name Pero ("feather" or "pen"), Trotsky soon became one of the paper's leading writers.[9]
