    Since the Soviet focus gives them an intelligence mission in Mexico maybe you could prevent Trotsky's assassination by just maxing out passive defense and putting all your spies on counterintelligence.

    dude, dude, i did this with all dlc, its possible, ussr will try to do the kill trotsky spy mission always, you have to catch the soviet spy or prevent the AI from putting any spies in your country by maxing passive defense and having some spy with counterintelligence trait at home in the counterintelligence mission, being at war with the ussr might also help to target the soviet spies, go into your intelligence tab and take a look at your country shield, if its green then there is no soviet spy doing any missions there, ive gone past 1945 with trotsky still alive so its definitely possible

Or Spanish anarchists somehow create a fighting force to dominate the Earth. Or Italy tries to restore the Roman Empir- oh wait that happened.

    Stalin: "...this is the last time I'm going to explain this. I'm not cooperating with your government as long as you keep sheltering that annoying nerd!"
    "Oh, mia culpa, I meant to mention. That annoying nerd was touring the front in Arizona when he slipped off a cliff face and broke his neck. He's gone now."

    This achievement was an utter bitch for me. The fact that Trotsky getting assassinated is totally up to RNG is the biggest crock of sh*t Paradox has served us. Though I am of the belief that keeping spies on counter-surveillance or whatever it’s called does reduce the chance of him getting whacked by the Soviet Onion.
