Trotsky, in a suit, leafs through a book in the garden of the Casa Azul, a moment of calm during his Mexican exile. Expelled from the Soviet Union in 1929, he had sought refuge in Turkey, France and Norway before arriving in Mexico in January 1937 at the invitation of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. In the sheltered courtyard of the blue-painted house in Coyoacán he worked on his writings against Stalin while guards secured the grounds outside. The calm proved fragile: in 1940 Trotsky was assassinated on the same property.
