Trotsky was Lenin’s father.. there would have been no similar revolution based on Trotsky’s preaching had Lenin not had Trotsky .. so who was more successful?.. Lenin or Trotsky.. the instigator or the finisher?..

No, because he was never the legitimate "chairman" of the council that Lenin had established…and since he was Jewish in a very anti-Semitic country, he did not gain a whole lot of popular support.
