Trotsky never ruled Russia. After the revolution put Lenin and the Bolsheviks in power, Trotsky was considered the number two man behind Lenin. Lenin died in 1924 and the country was then run by Joseph Stalin, Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev. Stalin had Trotsky expelled from the country, had ousted Zinoviev and Kamenev and took full power to himself by 1928. Thus, Trotsky never was in charge.
He was one of the most important members of the Bolsheviks. After they seized power in 1917, he was put in charge of the armed forces by Lenin. Trotsky helped transform the Red Army from a mess into a powerful and well-disciplined fighting force. He led them during the Civil War and helped them win a number of key battles. He also helped defeat a number of rebellions.
Trotsky became Commissar of War after the Russian Revolution. He organized and guided the Bolshevik Red Army in the Russian Civil War against the White Forces. He is generally considered most responsible for the Communists winning the Civil War in Russia.
Trotsky served as Commissar of Foreign Affairs then served as Commissar of War under the new government. He organized and led the Communist Red Army against the anti-revolutionary White Forces eventually defeating them.
