WI: Lenin's Testament Is Revealed at the XII Party Conference?

Lenin wanted the testament to be read out at the XII Party Conference in April 1923. Only weeks prior to the conference however, Lenin suffered his third stroke and was left paralyzed. The testament was never revealed to his fellow Bolsheviks as his loyal wife Krupskaya believed that her beloved husband and fellow revolutionary would eventually recover . As a consequence, Joseph Stalin, the man whom Lenin would loath the most during his final months, was able to suceed Lenin upon his death the following January.

Thus, this leads to the question, what if Krupskaya had indeed revealed her husband's testament to the Bolsheviks at the XII Party Conference. Would Leon Trotsky, despite his firm belief in the "permant revolution" suceed in the ensuing power struggle? And if so, how would Trotsky's leadership effect the course of not only Soviet but 20th century history? Or would Stalin, through his alliance with Kamenev and Zinoviev somehow prevail in height of Lenin's damning attack?
 
Well, Trotsky wasn't as insane as Stalin. He believed to some extent in democracy, IIRC, so we would have a slightly more liberalized Soviet Union.
 
The issue of how Trotsky would behave as leader of the Soviet Union is one of those famous PoDs that comes up often, but has never really been answered to anybody's satisfaction, particularly since everyone disagrees on to what extent he was a liberal Democratic Marxist who believed in capitalist investment in Russia, elected proletarian representative councils, and the competence of his peers, and to what extent he was a ruthless hardliner who believed stoutly in the World Revolution and using bullets to purge his army of labour.

Well, at least he wouldn't be anti-semitic!
 
It probably would have looked a lot like the Soviet Union did historically, a little more decentralized probably even more of a world pariah as a result of providing more support to international revolutionaries. While the lack of purges would probably strengthen the Soviet military the foreign adventures may weaken it more. The NEP would probably be abandoned and followed with collectivisation and forced industrialisation much as it was historically.
