Vladimir Ilyich lenin (Ulyanov) was effectively removed from power in 1922 by the first of a series of strokes. Since he had failed to name a successor, the USSR was run by a "Committee of Three" including Grigory Zinovyev, Lev Kamenev and Joseph Stalin. Stalin held effective power at this time because he was already Party General Secretary. There is a little doubt as to what exactly happened from here on because many records were "corrected" to reflect the preferred political views of the time, but suffice to say that by the end of 1929, only Stalin was left of the "Committee of Three" and he had managed to get rid of the remainder of his potential competition from the party. Both Grigory Zinovyev and Lev Kamenev were executed in 1936. The rest is history and Stalin allegedly died of a stroke, possibly on the 5th of March 1953, thereby resigning his leadership of the USSR. Exact dates, even if they do exist, are not reliable.

∙ 14y agoStalin, pronounced STAH lihn, Joseph, was dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) from 1928 until 1953. He rose from bitter poverty to become ruler of a country that covered about a sixth of the world's land area. Stalin ruled by terror during most of his years as dictator. He allowed no one to oppose his decisions. Stalin executed or jailed most of those who had helped him rise to power because he feared they might threaten his rule.

The British monarch throughout the 1920s was George V, he died in 1936 and was succeded by his son Edward VIII. Edward abdicated before his coronation in favour of his brother George VI.

Who lead the USSR after Nikita Khrushchev died?
Short answer: Stalin Long answer: At the time of Lenin's death there were a few prominent party leaders that all could have potentially seized power. They are Stalin, Kamenev, Zinoviev and Trotsky. Lenin's final testament labeled Trotsky as his preferred successor, however this was never released to the public. Seeing Trotsky also as the most popular member (also with the army behind him), he was dubbed the biggest threat by Stalin and an alliance was formed between Stalin, Kamenev and Zinoviev to take down Trotsky. This was successful and Trotsky lost most power, his influence and eventually was exiled between 1928 - 1930 (just going off of memory). Stalin was the most adequate leader and maneuvered himself within the alliance of Kamenev and Zionoviev to become the prominent party member. Both of these men would later end up date, certainly at the behest of Stalin.
