Leon Trotsky was part of the Bolshevic party during the early years of the USSR. After Lenin (the previous leader of the USSR) died in the 1920's, Trotsky and Joseph Stalin both fought for the power of ruling the USSR. Stalin won, and then exiled Trotsky, afraid that he might organize a military coup to overthrow Stalin.

he left because he was expelled from the communist party. He was later assinated by an ice axe

Trotsky left Russia because he was ordered to. He had already been expelled from the Communist Party but it was not until later that he was ordered to get out of the country.

Trotsky was expelled from the country first to Turkey, then France, then Norway, finally to Mexico. In 1940 he was assassinated by KGB ordered by Stalin. A Russian agent plunged the pointed end of an ice ax into Trotsky's skull killing him. The assassin was able to reach Trotsky by pretending to be interested in some of the articles written by Trotsky.
