Serge was quite well known in the Marxist left of Buenos Aires during the 50s 
and 60s, particularly due to the work of diverse Trotskyist groups, among which 
the one I come down from. In fact, in the Argentina of the 60s and 70s most 
Marxists had quite a good grasp (at least a general knowledge) not only of 
Lenin but also of Trotsky, Serge, Preobrazhensky, et al. 

This was one of the most amazing consequences of the "European" character of 
our intelligentsia.
