Leon Trotsky became a political enemy of Josef Stalin. Stalin's fear of any descent from his policies were tantamount to treason. Stalin believed that if one of the original Bolsheviks, such as a Trotsky, could gather strength, there could be a revolution against Stalin's regime. Therefore Stalin put a price on Trosky's head. Trotsky was murdered in Mexico.
