After writing his immortal philippic on chewing gum in the subway, Leon Trotsky, on hearing that the Kerensky Government had seized Russia, returned the furniture he had been buying on the installment plan, borrowed his passage money and streaked for Petrograd. In this city (the Tsarist capital which is now Leningrad) at the time of the abortive Russian revolution of 1905, Trotsky had briefly figured as the president of the historic "First Soviet."
