Lezi zindaba zimenyezelwe yiphephandaba laseMexico elithi "La Hornada", ebhekise esitatimendeni somndeni wakhe nabangane ezinkundleni zokuxhumana.
UVsevolod Volkov, ongumzukulu kaLev Trotsky - omunye wabahleli beNguquko ka-Okthoba ngo-1917, washona eneminyaka engu-97 eMexico, kubika iphephandaba laseMexico elithi "Hornada", ecaphuna izitatimende zomndeni nabangane bakhe ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. .
UVolkov wazalelwa ezweni elaliyiSoviet Union ngo-1926, kwathi ngo-1939, kanye nomkhulu wakhe uLeon Trotsky, bafika eMexico, lapho afunda khona i-chemistry. Ngo-1990, umzukulu waguqula ikhaya lomndeni enhloko-dolobha yaseMexico laba umnyuziyamu wendlu yaseTrotsky, ubhala ku-"Hornada". Leli phephandaba liphawula ukuthi uVolkov wayengufakazi wokugcina wokubulawa kukaTrotsky ngo-1940 eMexico.
Ngaphambi nje kokufa kukaLenin ngo-1924, umbango wangaphakathi wamandla waqala e-Leon Trotsky yaseRussia, lapho uLeon Trotsky anqotshwa khona. Ngo-November 1927 waxoshwa eqenjini, futhi ngo-1929 waxoshwa ezweni elaliyiSoviet Union. Ngo-1932, uTrotsky naye waphucwa ubuzwe bakhe baseSoviet ngaleso sikhathi, kukhumbula i-TASS.
Ngo-1937, uTrotsky wathola ukukhoseliswa kwezombusazwe eMexico, lapho agxeka khona kakhulu izinqubomgomo zikaStalin. Ngokushesha kwaziwa ukuthi ukubulawa kwakhe kwakulungiselelwa amanxusa obuhlakani beSoviet ngaleso sikhathi. NgoMeyi 24, 1940, umzamo wokuqala wokubulala wenziwa kuTrotsky, kodwa wasinda. Nokho, ngo-August 20, 1940, inxusa eliyimfihlo le-People's Commissariat of the Interior yangaleso sikhathi, uRamon Mercader, uKhomanisi waseSpain owayesekela uStalinist owayethulwe ngawo-1930 endaweni ayehlala kuyo, wamvakashela futhi wakwazi ukumbulala. emzini wakhe enhloko-dolobha yaseMexico.
UTrotsky wayazi ukuthi wayehlale ehlaselwa uStalin, nokuthi wayezozingelwa ngokuphindiselela. Wabikezela ukuthi kwakuzoba neminye imizamo yokuzibulala, futhi wayeqinisile. UTrotsky abengakulindele ukuthi umuntu ongajwayelekile ogama lakhe linguRamón Mercader, owayehlala ngaphansi kwegama elingelona iqiniso uJacques Mornard futhi owayejola noNobhala kaTrotsky uSylvia Ageloff, nguyena owayezombulala ekugcineni. I-Mercader yenza sengathi iyazwelana futhi isekela imibono kaTrotsky ukuze ingabonakali isolisa noma iphakamise noma yisiphi isizathu sokukhathazeka.
Ngomhla zingama-20 kuNcwaba, 1940, uTrotsky wayesebuyele endleleni yakhe yansuku zonke yokujabulela imvelo nokubhala ngepolitiki. UMercader wayecele ukuhlangana naye ngalobo busuku ukuze ambonise isihloko ngoJames Burnham noMax Shachtman. U-Trotsky unesibopho, nakuba u-Natalia ephawula ukuthi wayengathanda ukuhlala engadini, ondle onogwaja noma azishiye yena; UTrotsky wayehlale ethola ukuthi i-Mercader ivaliwe futhi iyacasula. UNatalia waphelezela la madoda amabili lapho beya esikoleni sikaTrotsky futhi wabashiya lapho. Wakuthola kuyinqaba ukuthi uMercader wayegqoke ijazi lemvula maphakathi nehlobo. Lapho embuza ukuthi kungani wayeyigqoke kanye nezicathulo zemvula, waphendula ngezwi eliphansi, (kanti kuNatalia, ngokungenangqondo), “ngoba lingase line.” Akekho owayazi ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi isikhali sokubulala, imbazo yeqhwa, sasifihlwe ngaphansi kwejazi lemvula. Kungakapheli nemizuzu emingaki, kwazwakala isililo esihlabayo nesithusayo sivela kwelinye igumbi.
