Троцкий

Leon Trotsky (born Lev Davidovich Bronstein) was a Ukrainian-born Marxist revolutionary, theorist, and key figure in the 1917 Russian Revolution. As the founder and commander of the Red Army, he was instrumental in the Bolshevik victory during the Russian Civil War. Once considered Lenin’s natural successor, he was eventually outmaneuvered by Joseph Stalin, exiled, and assassinated in Mexico in 1940.
