Yes. As the All-Russian Commissar of War during the Russian Civil War, Trotsky led a ruthless campaign to purge the Red Army of many of its early commanders in order to transform it from a patchwork of independent detachments into a regular army. Hundreds of popular and charismatic leaders, who sprang up spontaneously from the ranks with the coming of the Revolution and who led the Red Guards and early Red Army regiments to victory in 1918 and the first half of 1919, were shot upon explicit orders of Trotsky in June and again in August 1919. Some of these, like Mykola Shchors of the 1st Soviet Ukrainian Division, were shot surreptitiously at the front lines, in order to make it look as if they were killed in battle with the enemy.
Yes, in several ways. Stalin had Trotsky expelled from the Communist Party, thrown out of the Soviet Union and assassinated in Mexico.
