House of Trotsky, Political museum in Büyükada, Turkey.
The wooden Yanaros mansion stands within private grounds, featuring traditional Turkish residential architecture with a deteriorated structure and collapsed sections.
From 1929 to 1933, the residence became a sanctuary for Leon Trotsky during his exile from the Soviet Union after opposing Stalin's leadership.
The building represents a significant period of political exile, where Trotsky composed his autobiography and the comprehensive History of the Russian Revolution.
The mansion requires extensive renovation work estimated at £600,000 before opening to visitors, with current access restricted due to safety concerns.
A former lobster pool remains on the property, which served as a source of food during Trotsky's period of restricted movement on the island.
