Havana, Aug 19 (EFE), (Camera: Felipe Borrego).- Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky was brutally murdered 80 years ago at the hands of the Spaniard Ramón Mercader by order of Joseph Stalin.In an interview with Efe Cuban writer Leonardo Padura, author of the bestselling novel about the assassination of Trotsky, The Man who Loved Dogs (2009), said that his death marked the beginning of the end of the Russian communist utopia.SOUNDBITES OF CUBAN WRITER LEONARDO PADURA:"It happened in a moment when Trotski was more marginalised and when he had less real power than ever before. He had tried to found the Fourth International, in fact, he founded it in 1938 and it was reduced to a group of half-crazy enthusiasts who supported him. Even economically, he (Trotsky) was in a very precarious situation, lost in a corner of the world, in a neighbourhood located on the outskirts of Mexico City.However, Trotsky was light and Stalin needed to switch it off. This is something that has been repeated throughout history and we are not aware of, to what extent, power has a tremendous need to occupy all spaces."
