WAS STALIN SUCCEEDED BY LENIN?

Lenin's death was premature, few expected this would happen. After Lenin's death, his group of top supporters such as Stalin and Trotsky, among the other leading Bolsheviks maneuvered themselves to take control of the "revolution". Stalin became the dictator of the Soviet Union. His grip on the Party and the nation was strong. Party members he thought were rivals or threats to his power, such as Trotsky, were exiled or executed.


What year did Stalin become leader in the Soviet Union?

Stalin's rise to power began when he gained control of Central Control Committee in the years between 1921 to 1923. After Lenin's death he began the so-call Lenin Levy which recruited thousands of new members to the Communist Party. He had the opportunity to hand pick people who supported him. Before Lenin's death he managed to isolate Lenin from other Party members. With the successful exile of Trotsky, many of Stalin's enemies "disappeared". For all practical purposes he was unopposed as the leader of the Soviet Union in 1929. He was cautious, however, and did not make himself the infallible Premier until 1931. Unfortunately the 1924 "Lenin's death" answer as to when Stalin was the dictator of the USSR is not correct.
