Leon Trotsky Leader of the Soviet Union?

What differences would we see in the Soviet Union, and outside it, if Trotsky had been the leader of the USSR rather than Stalin? How could one also achieve this?

It isn't possible, as I've seen repeatedly. Trotsky just doesn't have the charisma or political subterfuge to do it. He's a good debater, and perhaps general, but not a good politician. He'll always be a side guy, if he lasts in the Soviet Union.
