Lev Sedov - Life

Life

He lived separately from his parents after the October Revolution in order not to be seen as privileged. He married in 1925 at the age of 19, and had a son, Lev, the following year. He supported his father in the struggle against Joseph Stalin and became a leader of the Trotskyist movement in his own right.

Sedov accompanied his father into exile in 1928, and then moved to Berlin in 1931. Just before Hitler came to power in 1933, Sedov was able to move to Paris where he went to work as a Parisian laborer and became an important activist in the Trotskyist movement. He was frequently followed by agents of the Soviet NKVD.
