Overall: Article is sourced, but the first paragraph in the section "Russian Civil War and relocation to Manchuria" could use a couple more citations, perhaps from one of the articles listed in "Further information". Flibirigit (talk) 19:14, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

I was considering promoting this, but did not his appearance in a propaganda film take place in 1924 while Trotsky's statement was made in November 1925? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:34, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: That is true. Perhaps it would be better to word it like this:

ALT1 "... that despite being portrayed favorably in a Soviet propaganda film, Konstantin Petrovich Nechaev was later accused by Leon Trotsky of supporting Chinese monarchism?" Applodion (talk) 10:03, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

It is better that way round so I am replacing the tick for ALT1 and striking the original hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:12, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the change. It looks good. Flibirigit (talk) 13:44, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
