A very unique photograph of Trotsky & Natalia.As far as I know (not sure) this must be the one very near to the date of assassination on the 20th of August 1940. Leon Trotsky was assassinated by a wily;Ramón Mercader who befriended Trotskys through his girl friend Sylvia Ageloff (a confidante of Trotsky in Paris) He gained access to the Coyoacán village house on the southern fringes of Mexico City where Trotsky was in exile, Mercader, as Jacson, began to meet with Trotsky personally, posing as a sympathiser to his ideas. Both Ramons mother María Caridad and himself were awarded with Order of Lenin & Hero of the Soviet Union respectively by the Stalinist regimes,for having carried out this despicable conspiracy act of political murder.
