This interview is not strictly speaking a political conversation. It is the story of a grandson who remembers his grandfather. The story of a world that does not exist today. You arrived in Mexico in and lived in this house for a year with Len Trotsky and Natalia Sedova your grandmother... Yes in a year before his murder. I arrived with the Rosmers my grandfathers comrades whom he had known since the Russian Revolution. Did you know the Rosmers well Yes of course. Marguerite Rosmer was a person of great generosity.
She was an exceptional person who had health problems. and had to constantly inject herself with insulin. But she resisted until the end . Before coming to Mexico you lived in Paris with an uncle one of Trotskys sons... Yes. I first left Russia with my Russia Mobile Number List in . Then I lived for about two years on the island of Prinkipo today Bykada with my grandparents the Trotsky couple. Then they sent me to Berlin where I stayed for a short time between and . My mother committed suicide. They told me that the doctor who treated her in Berlin could have been an agent of the GPU. When you arrived in Mexico in it must have been an enormous change from what you had experienced in Europe... Yes life with Jeanne was not very happy.
Was a wounded woman sad and depressed by the death of her partner Lev Sedov. She wanted to continue raising me as if I were her own child since she had had no children. What was your life with Len Trotsky like in this house in Coyoacn This house was full of life. The Americans called my grandfather The Old Man. Yes I knew that nickname. In French they also called it Le Vieux. Furthermore what is surprising is that the comrades in charge of Trotskys personal custody in this house were Americans... Yes for one reason when Lzaro Crdenasgave him authorization to settle in Mexico he set one condition my grandfather and his entourage should not interfere in Mexican politics. So to avoid any problem with the Mexican power they preferred that the guards be all foreigners to separate the activities of Len Davidovichof Mexican politics.
