Burial place

edit

She's now buried in Coyoacan, Mexico, next to the ashes of her husband. Her name is also in the plate. A very recent picture of the monument will show her name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.93.16 (talk) 05:42, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Attempt to Rehabilitate Trotsky

edit

Didn't Natalia Sedova unsuccessfully appeal to Nikita Khrushchev to have Leon Trotsky rehabilated at the time of the De-Stalinization in the Soviet Union. User:Leon Trotsky 14:35 28 August 2005

Yes. This is mentioned in Wyndham & King's "Trotsky: A Documentary." Trotsky's granddaughter Yulia Akselrod also wrote to a few Soviet leaders making similar requests.
Not really. See http://marxists.org/archive/sedova-natalia/1961/11/09.htm. --85.212.10.10 19:13, 25 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Where did they meet?

edit

The article Aleksandra Sokolovskaya claims that Trotsky and Natalia met in Paris, is that correct? Or was it London? It also claims that the first marriage fell apart because of Natalia. Could someone please confirm with a reliable source and fill in these details? --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 00:50, 6 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Passport Image

edit

It's a picture of a woman in what possibly could be a Mexican passport (no evidence of that, either). I'll take the picture down tomorrow if no one comes up with any proof that it's Sedova. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madler (talkcontribs) 12:41, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Wrong picture?

edit
 
Natalia Sedova, early 1910s

The picture used in the article (right) may not be of Natalia Sedova. Here is a picture claimed to be her many years later. Even accounting aging, it does not seem to be the same person. If you have a reliable source, please check and either confirm or replace the picture. Thanks... --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 06:33, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
