The death of Esteban Volkov, aged 97, in Mexico City :

An American comrade, Suzi Weissman reports :

I just learned that my dear friend Esteban (Sieva) Volkow died today. It is very sad news — I had planned to visit him in January, but my own illness and surgery intervened. I will post more about him in the days to come. Sieva lived his life in the tail of Trotsky’s comet, and what a life!”
