Many legends surround the relationship of the painter Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky... In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach completes the story of their strange romance. 

On January 9, 1937, Trotsky and his wife Natalya landed in Veracruz.

Very quickly a relationship of friendship was forged between the painter Frida Kahlo and the Russian politician.

But is it a real love or a way for the artist to take revenge for the incessant deceptions of his companion?

In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach leads the investigation.
