From the memoirs of artist Yuri Annenkov:

"When the summer of 1923 a portrait of Trotsky was finally completed, the Revolutionary Military Council organized on this occasion a very solemn one day his show for the Red Army commanders.

Funny, loud crying gathering krepkotelyh fellows, mahorochnyh smokers, intoxicated by the recent victories: future generals and marshals of the USSR. Among those present were: Tukhachevsky (Commander of the 5 th Army and the Western Front, in the future - was shot by Stalin), Sokolniki, (commander of the 8 th Army and Turkfrontom, who was shot by Stalin); Smilga (member of the Revolutionary Military Council of the 5 th Army, who was shot by Stalin); Unshlikht (member of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic, was shot by Stalin), Raskolnikov (Commander of the Baltic and Caspian fleets. committed suicide in exile in France); Zof (commander of the naval forces of the republic, who was shot by Stalin); Muralov (head of the Moscow Military District, was shot by Stalin), an Antonov- Ovseenko (Chief Political Directorate of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic, was shot by Stalin), and others which I forgot and which are likely to expect the same fate. Five days later Tukhachevsky also posed for me for a pencil portrait in the possession of me.
Neither Trotsky nor his deputy Sklyansky this day was not in Moscow: they represented Vyacheslav Polonsky.

In the midst of these tragic heroes, I was photographed against a background of a portrait of Trotsky. However, in the same thick were Voroshilov and Budyonny, who managed to survive. "
