He was not a random nobody, he had real and important roles within the party. But it is definitely fair to say that Westerners only know about him because he's the good version of Stalinapoleon from animal barn 1984. They don't know what he advocated for or anything of his place in Soviet history. People who tout "permanent revolution" never have any clue what permanent revolution actually meant.

Soviet History can be a little impenetrable because of all the dust that's been kicked up by various three-letter agencies. Unsolicited advice, but I would recommend that you avoid learning about events, figures, and policies in isolation of their counterparts. Concepts like "permanent revolution" don't make sense without "socialism in one country."
