Thank you for the concise answer!

Without over praising him either, I can see how such organizational changes could prove very beneficial during the first period of the Soviet government when facing threats from multiple sides

Trotsky was also an innovative commander

Could I have more information on this please? :)

I have been listening to the Proles Pod on the Stalin eras recently. They mentioned how Trotsky’s indecision during the conference for the treaty of Brest-Litovsk (indecision they attributed to Trotsky’s firm belief in world revolution which made him refuse to initially engage with imperialist powers) cost the Soviet government additional parts of Ukraine, Finland and Poland.

Because of that I was left with the impression that he was a bit ineffective lol but I actually don’t know that much about Trotsky’s military accomplishments truth be told
