Leon Trotsky: Letter to Aage Faerge [Writing of Leon Trotsky, Vol. 13. Supplement (1929-1933), New York 1979, p. 148, title: “Willing to Speak in Copenhagen”] Mr. Aage Faerge Vice-president Social Democratic Students Copenhagen Dear Sir: I would be very willing to give the Danish student youth a lecture about the Russian Revolution, under the approximate title of “The Creation of the Soviet State.” Since I unfortunately do not speak Danish, I would give the lecture in German. Because you may perhaps have difficulties with the Danish administration regarding a visa for me, I consider it useful to make the following points in advance: (a) My lecture would have a purely scientific character. (b) I am willing to limit my stay in Denmark to a very few days and to devote my time only to the purpose of the lecture. Since I will stay at a Central European health resort from about mid-September to mid-November, the second half of November can be considered for the lecture. About details we should be able to come to agreement later. Respectfully, Leon Trotsky |
