Leon Trotsky and Jan Frankel at work, Mexico City 1937

Trotsky and Jan Frankel work together at a table covered almost entirely with newspapers, magazines and files, with more books stacked on a shelf behind them. Frankel, one of Trotsky's closest aides since the 1930s, helped review the press, translate texts and draft articles for the Trotskyist movement. This routine work in exile formed the basis for Trotsky's continued political writings against Stalin and the Soviet leadership, through which he reached the public until his death in 1940.
