I can't come up with a good, succinct comment on these parallel universes, but there sure is something about seeing these side by side.

Trotsky is who Lenin wanted to take over the party after his death, but Stalin framed him as a power hungry authoritarian and took control of the party then forcing Trotsky to flee the USSR then had him murdered in Mexico to stop his criticisms of the USSR under Stalin's authoritarian reign.
