Why did Trotsky not succeed in gaining power after Lenin?
Vladimir Lenin himself had wanted Trotsky to become his successor, mostly because he feared that Joseph Stalin had an "evil soul". After Lenin's death, it was a face-off between Leon Trotsky & Stalin. It seemed as if Trotsky would win because of his closer ties with Lenin. However, by manipulating Trotsky, Stalin managed to turn the people in the Communist party to dislike him. He stated that there were differences in their beliefs in Communism; one wanted a revolution across the world and the other believed in a revolution only within the Soviet Union. By deeming Trotsky's ideals as wrong and stray from the path of Lenin's, Stalin managed to have Troysky exiled to Mexico. There, he was killed by an assassin supposedly appointed by Stalin himself.

What were Trotsky's weaknesses?
Trotsky's weaknesses consisted of : - He was sick frequently and so always missing important committee meetings, Stalin exploited this making sure that important decisions were made whilst Trotsky was off getting treatment. - The fact that Trotsky was an ex-Menshevik was very important, the people saw him as a traitor and thought he only joined the Bolsheviks because he saw them as the group that was going to win. Stalin exploited this too. - There was still alot of anti-Jew feelings in Russia, and Trotsky was Jew. - Trotsky failed to take his opposition seriously, not seeing Stalin as a threat until it was too late because he was too arrogant and believed there was no threat. - It could be argued he was gullible. When Stalin told him that Trotsky would not be able to make Lenin's funeral - he believed him not checking with anyone else for confirmation - when infact he could easily have made it. -He was also too self confident which was a reason that led to his downfall. -He was unpopular in the Politburo due to the fact that he was a Jew and an ex-Menshevik.

How did Leon Trotsky rule Russia?
Trotsky never ruled Russia. After the revolution put Lenin and the Bolsheviks in power, Trotsky was considered the number two man behind Lenin.

Stalin had Trotsky expelled from the country, had ousted Zinoviev and Kamenev and took full power to himself by 1928. Thus, Trotsky never was in charge.
