Natalia Sedova

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Natalia Ivanovna Sedova (April 5, 1882 - January 23, 1962) is best known as the second wife of Leon Trotsky, the Russian revolutionary. She was, however, also an active revolutionary in her own right and wrote on cultural matters pertaining to Marxism. Her father was Ivan Sedov, a famous explorer of the Arctic. Her life was marked by the same tragedy as that of her lover, as she accompanied him into his final exile from Russia. Her son, Lev Sedov, was an active and leading member of the Bolshevik-Leninist movement that his father led and was almost certainly assassinated as a result of that. Her other son, Sergei Sedov, who was not politically active and remained in Russia, was almost certainly murdered by agents of Joseph Stalin.
