Excerpt: Jaime Ram n Mercader del R o Hern ndez (February 7, 1914 October 18, 1978) was a Spanish communist who became famous as the murderer of Leon Trotsky.

As a young man, he embraced Communism, working for leftist organizations in Spain during the mid-1930s.

He worked briefly as a Spanish tutor for George Orwell, who was in Barcelona for the Spanish Civil War. In 1938, while he was a student at the Sorbonne, Mercader befriended Sylvia Ageloff, a confidant of Trotsky in Paris, assuming the identity 'Jacques Mornard', son of a Belgian diplomat.
