Has he ever heard of the cherry tree myth? Meanwhile when the USSR tried to do something similar with :josus-stalin: he responded:
I am absolutely against the publication of "Stories of the childhood of Stalin". The book abounds with a mass of inexactitudes of fact, of alterations, of exaggerations and of unmerited praise. Some amateur writers, scribblers, (perhaps honest scribblers) and some adulators have led the author astray. It is a shame for the author, but a fact remains a fact. But this is not the important thing. The important thing resides in the fact that the book has a tendency to engrave on the minds of Soviet children (and people in general) the personality cult of leaders, of infallible heroes. This is dangerous and detrimental. The theory of "heroes" and the "crowd" is not a Bolshevik, but a SR theory. The heroes make the people, transform them from a crowd into people, thus say the SRs. The people make the heroes, thus reply the Bolsheviks to the SRs. The book carries water to the windmill of the SRs. No matter which book it is that brings the water to the windmill of the SRs, this book is going to drown in our common, Bolshevik cause. I suggest we burn this book.
You can't question Washington especially in congress, he's constantly portrayed as wise, knowledgeable, infallible, and always does what's right. If that isn't a cult of personality, I don't know what is
It's very unclear from just the wikipedia text what this actually was (and even then I don't give Trotsky a pass on this at all), but what happened was Germany and Austria-Hungary had seized chunks of Ukraine in Operation Faustschlag, the last offensive of WW1, and Trotsky wanted men fighting the whites in the area not the German and Austro-Hungarian occupiers in Odessa I think out of fear it would ignite a wider war as Bolshevik aligned forces in the area would be violating the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk which made peace with Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Bolshevik government in exchange for letting Germany and Austria-Hungary keep the occupied parts of Ukraine and Belorussia until independence was established or something (not clear, the troops were out by late 1918, but the left SR uprising was in July, and the peace treaty was in early March).

What is SR in this context?

Thank you very much
