Trotsky Pravda 1912? Are the Trotsky details validated in the passage "In 1912, during the Balkan Wars, most of Kosovo was taken by the Kingdom of Serbia, while the region of Metohija (Albanian: Dukagjini Valley) was taken by the Kingdom of Montenegro. An exodus of the local Albanian population occurred. This was described by Leon Trotsky, who was a reporter for the Pravda newspaper at the time." As far as I know, the war started in October. Trotsky closed down his paper Pravda in May, and was violently opposed to the new communist paper Pravda using the name of "his" paper. Thus it seems unlikely that he would write on the Balkan wars for the Pravda.
