Another related term is the name of the ideology itself, "Trotskyism," which is *Троцки́зм* ( [image: image.gif] ). - *Троцки́ст* ( [image: image.gif] ): This is the direct translation for the person, similar to how "Trotskyist" is used in English. - *Троцки́зм* ( [image: image.gif] ): This is the name of the political ideology or movement founded by Leon Trotsky.

Об этом пишет известный Джон Рид в своей книге “Десять дней”, который стоял далеко от нашей партии и, конечно, не мог знать истории нашего конспиративного собрания от 10 октября, попав, ввиду этого, на удочку сплетен, идущих от господ Сухановых. Этот рассказ передается и повторяется потом в ряде брошюр, принадлежащих перу троцкистов, между прочим, в одной из последних брошюр об Октябре, написанной Сыркиным. Эти слухи усиленно поддерживаются последними литературными выступлениями Троцкого.
