EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in Mexican history as Leon Trotsky, the prominent Bolshevik leader and former Soviet commissar for foreign affairs, found refuge in Mexico following his expulsion from the Soviet Union in 1937. Here, Trotsky is seen with his wife Natalia Sedova on the left, and Senora Rivera, the wife of renowned Mexican artist Diego Rivera, on the right. The image was taken on January 30, 1937, and marks a significant period in Trotsky's life as he sought political asylum and continued his activism against Stalin's regime. The encounter between Trotsky and the Riveras, who were prominent figures in Mexico's artistic and political circles, highlights the international connections and complexities of the time. The image is a testament to the intricacies of global politics and the role of individuals in shaping history. The photograph, with its rich historical context, offers a glimpse into the lives of these influential figures and the tumultuous events of the era.
