It wasn't Trotsky, it was Yezhov, the man in charge of NKVD during the worst of the purge. Fun fact: of all occupations/organizations NKVD officers were at the highest risk of a speedy trial and execution.
- mcv 4y agoI think there have been several people who have been erased from photos. I recall one photo that had been updated several times to remove more and more people until only 2 were left.
- jojobas 4y agoYou must be thinking about this one. https://izbrannoe.com/upload/sotbit.htmleditoraddition/bed/bed7f3f44471adf1259d32832a7560e2.jpg https://izbrannoe.com/upload/sotbit.htmleditoraddition/bed/b... Trotsky was indeed deleted from a couple of pics, but they are much more obscure.
- mcv 4y agoThat's another example, but not the one I was thinking of. I clearly remember the photo, and yet it seems impossible to find on the internet. Closest thing I could find is this one, but it's Mao instead of Stalin: https://11points.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/maofuneral.jpg https://11points.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/maofuneral.j... (From https://11points.com/11-famous-doctored-photos-dictators/ https://11points.com/11-famous-doctored-photos-dictators/) Perhaps I'm misremembering after all and it was always Mao instead of Stalin.
