Most of these Trotsky questions are really based around 1917-1924 and then the debates with stalin

but in the one before they can even ask you things about him that are outside the time period! isnt that weird?

SOURCE:

Trotsky was loves a s a leader of the revolution, yet by the end of the 1920's his name had become a term of abuse. It took Stalin no more than five years to turn a hero into a pariah. Trotsky himself was partly responsible for this. His tragedy lay in the fact that in his tireless and passionate struggle with Stalin, he facilitated Stalin's seizure of power in the Party. It was Trotsky's own doing that allowed Stalin to surround him with a circle of scmismatics, heretics and otehr internal enemies. Paradoxically, it was Trotsky's furious fight against Stalin that helped Stalin to become a bloody dictator.
