Trotsky Murder Weapon Resurfaces
BreakingNews.ie reports,
One of history’s most famous murder weapons, the icepick used to kill Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, has resurfaced, just weeks before the 65th anniversary of his assassination on August 20, 1940.
But tests that could prove the weapon’s authenticity have been delayed by a dispute between the icepick’s owner, who is shopping it around, and Trotsky’s descendants, who want it donated to a revolutionary museum – proving that the struggle between socialist ideals and capitalism still goes on.
Revolutionary struggle yes. Trotskyism no.
That lady wants to give that ice-pick up to some fetishist in the market. Some rich prick will buy it and store it in his colection, for the rest of the world to forget about. It should definitly be housed ni some museum, somewhere. Not necessarily Volkov’s place, but somewhere.
Fuck the collectors.
Besides which, it sounds as though the pick was acquired dodgily.
