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.

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.
