Exile In Buyukada (2000) HD full movie

Revolutionary theorist Leon Trotsky was one of the leading figures in Russia's 1917 October Revolution, which brought the Bolsheviks to power and spawned the creation of the Soviet Union. However, in time Trotsky and Joseph Stalin became sharply divided on many issues, and after ill health edged Lenin out of power, Stalin forced Trotsky into exile in 1929. Until his death in 1940, Trotsky spent his time in exile searching for a safe place to write and plan new political strategies; one of the first places where he settled was in Buyukada, Istanbul, where he lived from 1929 to 1933.
Exile in Buyukada provides a fascinating account of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky's exiled years living in Istanbul. The narration by Vanessa Redgrave lends accessibility to this inflammatory historical figure's life, while the cinematography fills the screen with beautiful, epic-minded imagery.
Director: Turan Yavuz
Actors: Vanessa Redgrave (narrator), Victor Sergachev, Isik Yenersu, Tan Sagturk

Two thumbs up for the good work done by the Turkish team who put together this portion of the history that may otherwise be forgotten.

Thanks for this share! It really helped my research.

I saw this years ago, found it amazing and fascinating, especially pictures of White Russians who'd escaped the commies through the Crimea into Turkey. Sound is terrible on this version, though. I plan to buy new speakers and this would be a good time.

Sad that Vanessa Redgrave's beautiful daughter Natasha Richardson's daughter starred in The White Countess, an incredibly touching story of a beautiful countess who had escaped the Russian Revolution to Shanghai where she was reviled by her own relatives for working as a taxi dancer in a Chinese men's club and supported them all with her earnings. I just loved the movie, was so sorry when Natasha died in a ski accident, far too young.

Stop the movie a t22:24 for a look at some of the faces of displaced Russian aristocrats in Istanbul, holding their heads high while they could, not realizing they were doomed to a life of poverty, strife, and if they were lucky, hard work. A few got enough money out to go to Paris or New York and continue their wealthy lifestyles. Some went to San Francisco, where I ran into them decades ago, proud, upright, wearing decades old clothes, going to little Russian restaurants out on Geary Street where the fog never ends.
