Vienna Avenue is a noisy street with incessant traffic. Upon entering the building I was surprised by the calm that reigned there. The garden surrounding the house was resplendent there were trees flowers cacti and grass. Everything was peaceful and lush. The sky was azure blue the temperature at that time of day was still bearable and the birdsong drowned out the noises of the city. Looking up I noticed the height of the walls surrounding the property. They had been built after the first assassination attempt on May . The hutches were still there Trotsky himself fed the rabbits. Trotskys grave is located in the middle of the garden a rectangular tombstone with a simple inscription Leon Trotsky Below it a huge hammer and sickle.
