Trotsky was a crucial figure in the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. He was a Marxist intellectual and the founder of the Politburo and the Red Army, and his ideas form the basis of Trotskyism. Following a legendary power struggle with Joseph Stalin in the 1920s, Trotsky was exiled. While in Mexico, he wrote books criticizing Stalinism for its repressive nature and betrayal of the working class, and he was later assassinated by a Soviet agent. From whom did he borrow the name "Trotsky"?
