Another shot from the same photo shoot: https://www.alamy.com/lenin-trotsky-celebrate-image7116797.html?imageid=F8C2D547-A8D0-4CA5-9BD8-5F11717F0277&p=181734&pn=1&searchId=9135f9ac320120f3da6df146b8245ed9&searchtype=0

I like how one of the image tags incorrectly labels the other guy as Trotsky
That does look a lot like Trotsky
Edit: This prompted me to read a little about Kamenev, who I was vaguely familiar with from reading about the Purges as a sort of wrecker Ice Climbers pair with Zinoviev, but not even enough to recognize him in that picture though his visage is quite obvious. The Wikipedia page is pretty much exactly as dire as one would expect (including the amazing claim that the “show trials” were the product of “months of rehearsal,” along with more grim and uncontestable things like several members of his family being executed). On the lighter side:
Huh, so it was a legit pic after all. Maybe my AI image sense is overtuned.
