How I stumbled onto the story of a secret agent waiting in Santa Fe to kill Trotsky in Mexico
Josif Grigulevich was a Soviet assassin, saboteur and master manipulator of the media and politics in Latin America, Spain, the United States and Italy, 1933 to 1953. During his stint in New Mexico, mid 1938 to early 1940, he laid low, hung out at two pharmacies near the Santa Fe Plaza and might have had a fling with the daughter of one of the owners.
