The year —that was the beginning of the Soviet Thermidor.43 Thus Trotsky finally recognized that a Thermidor had in fact occurred, not as an overt bourgeois coup but as a more subtle political shift within the ruling party.
Usually, in a Thermidor, the democratic reforms that appeared early in the revolution are wiped out along with many of the radical policies.
