Snowball


Snowball represents Leon Trotsky, a Bolshevik revolutionary and Marxist theorist. He was a second in command to Lenin in the October Russian revolution, before rebelling against Lenin and losing. He was exiled first to Turkey before being allowed into France before being asked to leave France as well. From there he traveled to Norway and eventually Mexico, where he was murdered with a ice axe.
