Leon Trotsky was assassinated on August 20, 1940, in Mexico City by Ramón Mercader, a Spanish communist and agent of the Soviet NKVD. Mercader attacked Trotsky with a ice pick, delivering a fatal blow to his head. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Trotsky succumbed to his injuries the following day. This assassination was part of Joseph Stalin's campaign to eliminate his political rivals.
