Leon Trotsky and Natalia Sedova on the veranda, Mexico City 1937

Trotsky and Natalia Sedova stand talking on the veranda of their exile residence, with the ornamented stone balustrade of the Casa Azul visible behind them. Sedova, Trotsky's companion since the early 1900s and later his wife, had accompanied him through every stage of his exile, from Alma-Ata through Turkey and France to Mexico. The intimate scene on the terrace contrasts with the political battles Trotsky waged against Stalin from this house; Sedova remained in Mexico for decades after his assassination in 1940, working to preserve his political legacy.
