From Socialist Appeal, Vol. III No. 82, 27 October 1939, p. 1.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
The following three sentences were inadvertently omitted from comrade Trotsky’s article (Stalin – The Temporary Holder of the Ukraine) in the last issue of the Socialist Appeal. They come at the end of the fourth paragraph of the article.
“Furthermore, no honest person can approve the ‘liberation’ of 8 million Ukrainians and White Russians at the price of the national enslavement of 23 million Poles! Even in the case that the Kremlin organizes a plebiscite in the occupied Galicia in the Goebbels manner, that will deceive no one. This is not a question of the liberation of an oppressed people, but rather of the territorial expansion of the bureaucratic oppression and parasitism.”
