Best Answer

Lenin was more important by far. Lenin was the founder and leader of the Bolshevik Party, which eventually took over the country and set up the new socialist government. Trotsky was not even a member of the Bolshevik Party until shortly before the revolution. Trotsky became more of a right hand man to Lenin during the revolution and afterwords but he was never above Lenin in leadership.
