Leon Trotsky, born Lev Davidovich Bronstein, is one of the most controversial figures in twentieth-century history. Along with Vladimir Lenin (1870–1924), he played a decisive role in the success of the 1917 October Revolution in Russia. A Marxist, a revolutionary and a talented writer, Trotsky was a principal commander of the Red Army and a major theoretician of world socialist revolution.
