Leon Trotsky (1879–1940) was part of the central leadership forged by Bolshevik party leader V.I. Lenin that organized the revolutionary conquest of power by workers and peasants in Russia in October 1917. Trotsky commanded the Red Army, which defeated counterrevolutionary troops and imperialist invaders during the 1918–20 Civil War. A founding leader of the Communist International, he led the communists in the Soviet Union and worldwide who fought to continue Lenin’s proletarian internationalist course. He continued that struggle from exile after being deported in 1929 by the anti-Leninist majority in the government of the USSR headed by Joseph Stalin. Together with the leadership of the Socialist Workers Party in the US, Trotsky submitted the program (often called “the Transitional Program”) that he had drafted for discussion and adoption by the 1938 founding conference of the world movement he led. Trotsky was murdered in Mexico by Stalin’s secret police.
