Curzio Malaparte. Technique coup (№ 377615)

The General strike is an integral part of the uprising: if the Bolsheviks will not be able to rely on a General strike, they will be inadequately protected from the rear and defeated. Speaking of this, Trotsky once called the uprising "a blow to the paralytic". For the victory of the uprising it is necessary that life in Petrograd was paralysed by a General strike.
