Although Lenin and Stalin, in the name of the Central Committee of the Party, had insisted that peace be signed, Trotsky, who was chairman of the Soviet delegation at Brest-Litovsk, treacherously violated the direct instructions of the Bolshevik Party.
A pesar de que Lenin y Stalin insistían, en nombre del C.C. del Partido bolshevique, en que se firmase la paz, Trotski, que era presidente de la delegación soviética de paz enviada a Brest, traicionó abiertamente las instrucciones concretas del Partid bolshevique.
