Judushka Trotsky agonized at the plenum against liquidationism and otzovism. He swore and vowed that he was a party man. He received a subsidy.

After the plenum the Central Committee weakened, the Forwardists strengthened—they procured money. The liquidators, who had spat in *Nasha Zarya* in Stolypin's face at the illegal party, became more entrenched.

Judushka removed the representative of the Central Committee from *Pravda* and began writing liquidationist articles in *Vorwärts*{46}. Contrary to the direct decision of the School Commission{47} appointed by the plenum, which had resolved that no party lecturer should go to the factional school of the Forwardists, Judushka Trotsky went there and discussed the conference plan with the Forwardists. This plan has now been published by the *Vpered* group in a leaflet.

And this same Judushka beats his breast and cries out about his party loyalty, assuring everyone that he certainly did not grovel before the Forwardists and liquidators.

Such is the blush of shame on Judushka Trotsky.
