There was Jean van Heijenoort who was a faithful secretary Otto Schssler a German who had been in Prinkipo a Czechoslovak a man who when he left this house was curiously hired at the Czechoslovak embassy... It was a great family full of life full of activities. For a child like me it was very interesting to be here. At first we had picnics outside of Mexico City. We would go quite far to the state of to collect babies those cacti that look like hair and we would plant them in the garden of the house as if they were trophies... My grandfather was an active man very dynamic who spent most of his days writing at his desk. What was a typical day like for Leon Trotsky He got up very early and started working.
At night he would stop working and go feed the rabbits and chickens. It was a way to Russia Mobile Number List some physical activity. At night he gave great importance to the political training of his comrades. He often debated political issues at his desk after dinner. He received visits from comrades especially American comrades from the Socialist Workers Party SWP and journalists. When you came to Coyoacn were you able to walk freely through the streets Not at all. She couldnt get out. Did the garden look like it does today with the flowers the cacti and the hutches Yes. In fact the garden as it is today is an attempt to recreate the climate of the house as I knew it in my grandfathers time. Is it true that you communicated in French with your grandfather Yes there was no other language to communicate. My relationship with the Russian language is somewhat strange.
When I met my grandfather in Prinkipo I spoke Russian. Leon Davidovich wrote in his memoirs that I spoke very good Russian very melodious and with a Moscow accent. Then during my stay in Vienna I completely forgot about Russian. For me Russian today is like Mandarin. I dont speak a single word anymore except... vodka. Laughs Do you speak Spanish French English and maybe German Ein wenig . A bit. In fact when I was in Vienna I learned German. When he talks about his grandfather he always insists on his physical vitality and his sense of humor. Something that caught my attention since revolutionaries have a reputation for being serious people with little sense of humor. He had extraordinary vitality. If we talk about cinema the Russian series dedicated to my grandfather and broadcast on Netflix is scandalous absurd. It has nothing to do with reality.
