Russian Communist leader (1879–1940) who, with Lenin, organized the Bolshevik seizure of power during the October Revolution of 1917. In 1929, five years after Lenin’s death, Stalin defeated Trotsky for control of the Communist Party and banished him from Russia. Trotsky spent most of the remainder of his life in Mexico, where he was assassinated with a pickaxe by a Stalinist agent. DS in Cyrillic, signed in blue pencil “Trotsky,” one page, 8.5 x 7, September 2, 1919. Document from the Chief of the Train of Crmsr., People’s Commissar of War and Navy Affairs, in full: “The rapport of train’s doctor Shtaker is given and asking Your permission to satisfy this petition,” to which Trotsky responds, “Vacation to be given.” Scattered light creasing, a vertical crease running parallel to the left edge, a few staple marks along the same edge, which is reinforced by a strip of adhesive on the reverse, uniform toning with scattered areas of heavier toning and light spotting, and pencil and ink notations, the latter of which lightly affects the top of the signature, otherwise very good condition.
