Verb. To trotsky an image is to remove a person from an image through physical or digital manipulation, similar to how Stalin removed Leon Trotsky from several famous images of himself with other powerful Soviet leaders. The word can also be used to refer to manipulation of other media such as photos, videos, and music to wipe out imperfections, typically in the name of painting a more flattering picture, or to deceive the viewer.
