After Lenin's death, Stalin managed to oust Trotsky from membership in the Communist Party, then from the Soviet Union itself. Trotsky was forced into exile first to Turkey, then France, then Norway and finally to Mexico. In 1940, Stalin had a Russian agent named Ramon Mercader murder Trotsky with an ice axe.
