What were Leon Trotsky's goals for Russia?

Answer 1

What Trotsky wanted to see happen in Russia (leaving aside his goals regarding foreign policy and supporting revolutions elsewhere) was a collectivization of agriculture (though not in the way Stalin did it), industrialisation, the dismantling of the growing state bureaucracy and a reinvigoration of socialist democracy within the Communist Party and within Russian society as a whole. Essentially he wanted to begin "socialist construction within the USSR", though it should be noted that this idea was extremely different to Stalin's "socialism in one country", Trotsky did not think you could build socialism in an isolated country, that's why he wrote and spoke so much about supporting other revolutionary movements outside of Russia.
