INTRODUCTION

The exile period of Lev Trotsky and the foundation of the ILO

Much information concerning life and thought of Lev Trotsky (1879-1940) and - to a lesser extent - of Lev Sedov (1906-1938), can be found in Isaac Deutscher's biography. Here the listing of some events relevant to the collection (from 1 January 1929 onwards) may be sufficient. The events listed not only concern Trotsky, but also the founding and functioning of the International Left Opposition (ILO). On p. XI a short list of publications is given, from which the following data are drawn.

Chronology

1929
January 20 - Trotsky, in internal exile in Alma Ata, exiled from the Soviet Union.

The archive

On December 28, 1935 the IISH bought from Lev Trotsky about 800 documents 1917-1922. The collection was called by Trotsky the Lenin-Trotsky correspondence (Perepiska Lenina s Trockim), although quite a few communications are to and from others. In 1936 negotiations were carried on between IISH and Trotsky/Lev Sedov on other parts of Trotsky's archive. Some parts were already transported to the Paris branch of the IISH, when in the night of 6/7 November 1936 the Paris branch was broken into with the express object of taking possession of Trotsky's archives.
Trotsky then decided to take his archives with him to America. In the summer of 1940 he transferred them to the Harvard College Library. The Boris I. Nicolaevsky Collection, bought in 1963 by the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University, was found to contain papers of Trotsky and Sedov too (9 meters).
However, a part of his papers remained behind in Europe. The IISH annual report of 1939 states the acquisition of a collection from Abel, "Abel" being the code word to avoid the name Trotsky (Repeatedly Trotsky referred to Stalin as Cain). It was probably in July 1939 that part of Trotsky's personal archive (manuscripts and correspondence 1929-1937) was acquired, together with papers from Natalija Sedova (including letters from Sedov 1931-1933), from Sedov (including letters from his father 1935-1937) and records of the International Secretariat of the ILO/ICL (1930-1934), or SIBL (Secrétariat international des Bolcheviques-Léninistes) as the collection was called previously. Together with the Trotsky papers and the ILO papers a third group of documents was acquired: records of the Ligue Communiste de France and of the Parti Ouvrier Internationaliste (POI)/Parti Communiste Internationaliste (PCI), tendance Molinier-Frank, including many papers of Raymond Molinier (1904-). The records of the Ligue-POI/PCI (1 meter) are not listed in the Trotsky/ILO inventory, although documents are related. One should be aware that Raymond Molinier and Pierre Frank (1906-1984), among others, held several positions in the ILO, as well as in the French Opposition. Letters from Lev Trotsky are also to be found in the Ligue Communiste de France archive.
Classifying the Trotsky and ILO papers it seemed rather self-evident to maintain within the ILO sub-group the country files. One gets the impression that in the ILO office the communications with the sections were filed per country. Dealing with all the correspondence outside the country files was less self-evident. It was decided to describe them per item ("general correspondence"). This has after all the advantage of being able to mention of each letter not only the exact date, but also whether the letter is a manuscript one, a typescript one, or a carbon copy. When a document is a telegram it is mentioned; when a postal card, or a picture postcard no such mention is made; enclosures are not mentioned.
About half of the general correspondence consists of carbon copies (or, in a few cases, manuscript copies). Many are without sender, some without addressee. If possible, senders/addressees are solved. If not for certain: [] and "probably" are used. Both indications are interchangeably used for different degrees of uncertainty. For reasons of easy reference of the general correspondence we have not separated the originals and the copies, but listed them together.
Not only in the general correspondence, but also in other parts of the archive the letters/carbon copies from Trotsky are listed with year, month and day. Please note that outside the general correspondence it is not mentioned whether a letter is an original or a copy. More often than not the letters from the IS and its office workers are copies, the letters from the sections and its workers not.
Pseudonyms are solved, when known, except in instances where a person is generally known by his/her pseudonym. Please note, that quite a few documents are in Russian. In the inventory the international transcription has been used. An exception has been made for "Trotsky", instead of "Trockij". Originally the collection contained a higher amount of printed documents, but they have been incorporated in the IISH library. A small amount of photographs are now in the IISH Audiovisual Department. In the inventory the term "cover" is used for 5-13 items, folder for more than 13 items. The collection measures five meters. The card index system of the collection measures one meter.
