References
In order to escape capture from Bolshevik guards, Ian Chesterton said he was sent to Ekaterinburg from Moscow by Vladimir Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky and that he knew what would happen to them in the future as a distraction. He told them how Trotsky would die, but then claimed to Makerenkov, his fellow escapee, that he made it up. (AUDIO: Last of the Romanovs)
Upon encountering the Ninth Doctor in 1924, Colonel Oblonsky suspected he was a Bolshevik agent sent by Lenin or Trotsky. (PROSE: The Clockwise Man)
Supporters of Trotsky were known as Trotskyists (PROSE: History 101) or Trotskyites. The Ministry of Defence had reservations about hiring Julian St Stephen because they suspected he could be a Trotskyite and supporter of socialism. (AUDIO: Artificial Intelligence)
