Talk:Vittorio Vidale

This article dosen't know who its about
I tried a rewrite of this article, but its less than satisfactory IMO. Is it about Vidale? Or Morotti? Or Mella? I'm pretty confused, but to strip out all the parts of it that do not deal with Vidale, its going to be a stub that says, "Vittorio Vidale, criminal and hitman. Born in Trieste, he was implicated in the murder of Mella and Leon Trotsky." That would be it, pretty much in its entirety. So gentle editors, if you can find the time, at least a date of birth and of death. Maybe something more substantial about his criminal record and record of arrests? Anything that has to do with Vittorio Vidale, and not the other people mentioned in the article? Thanks in advance Hamster Sandwich 06:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Good clean up but Trotsky was not a Menshevik. Menshevik refers to the struggle between the Kerensky government which had been labeled Menshevik (minority party),by Lenin although at least initially it was the majority party in the Russian Duma or parliament. Trotsky was on Lenin's side. Vidale's actions can be traced to the first assault on Trotsky, he probably but not surely had to do with introducing assassin Mercader into the Trotsky's trusted circle El Jigüey 12/4/05

Ham it seems that Vittorio Vidale can also be written Vittorio Vidali. The bio have been reconciled with each other. Now somebody needs to find out when he died. Frankly I guess Stalin had him killed, or he died in WWII in Russia. Then decide which is the correct spellling of his name. El Jigüey 12/5/05
