When Trotsky was falling ill in 1923 with malaria like infection Lenin was dying and Trotsky needed to be at his most active. In 1924 Lenin passed away and Trotsky was recovering from his illness. Trotsky telephoned Stalin to ask the date of when the funeral was, Stalin replied with 'On Saturday, you can't get back in time anyway so we advise you to carry on with your treatment'. This in fact was a lie and the funeral was on Sunday and Trotsky could have reached Moscow by then. Where as at the funeral it looked bad on Trotsky for not turning up and Stalin went as chief mourner. so Trotsky was tricked
