Leon Trotsky at his desk, Mexico City 1937
Trotsky sits in a white shirt over a desk crowded with newspapers and papers, marking passages and reading while his secretary Jan Frankel writes in the background; a copy of the New York Times is visible on the table. From his Mexican exile, Trotsky closely followed the international press, commented on the Moscow show trials and organized the founding of the Fourth International, which took place in Paris in September 1938. Frankel, like Jean van Heijenoort, was among the close aides who had accompanied Trotsky for years, handling his extensive correspondence and writing. The cluttered desk was part of his ongoing struggle for political and moral rehabilitation.
