Trotsky's House

Trotsky's house is located in the Coyoacan district, which is now part of Mexico City. It is believed that this is where he lived the last months of his life. The figure of the Soviet Union was known not only in the territory of the former Union, but also beyond its borders. During the crisis, he was forced to flee the country, and sunny Mexico became his place of refuge.

History of the creation of the House of Trotsky

Trotsky’s fate in Mexico, although it was short, was very unfortunate for him; before the start of the Second World War, by order of the government of the Soviet Union, Trotsky was killed in Mexico by the NKVD. But his ideas, his name and the memory of it remained “alive”, and many Mexicans, especially the old generation, associate Russia with the name of Lev.

Trotsky's House became a museum in 1990. During his life, Trotsky was very careful, he knew very well that he was being watched in distant Mexico, so his house became a real castle, every day a police detachment guarded his house, the doors, windows and shutters were lined with iron structures. But all this did not save the poet from death.
