During World War II, the 'ruthless leader' of the Soviet Union was Joseph Stalin (1878-1953). Having achieved absolute power in the Communist nation during the 1920s, Stalin reigned throughout the 1930s, during the whole of World War II, and for a number of years beyond, until his death in 1953.
The question is disputable as there was no one leader of the USSR (A confederation of states including but not limited to Russia which was controlled in Moscow IE not just Russia.) During the 1920s due there was a power struggle which began after the death of Lenin in January 1924. Various candidates such as Trotsky, Stalin, Bukharin and others fought for party support - this struggle was eventually won by Stalin who gained enough popularity within the Communist Party to then become the leader of the USSR in 1928. Stalin's leadership was long, brutal but arguably successful only ending with his death in 1953. Tens of millions of Soviet citizens died for a large number of reasons while he stood at the helm; however Russia did advance at a huge pace from an obscure peasant society in the 1920s that was largely irrelevant to global affairs to a modern industrialised state and after his death ultimately the world's other superpower only matched by the United States.

You have to be more precise about the time period. Karl Marx was the original leader of the Communist party. That is why it is sometimes called Marxism. Lenin led the Communist Party at the time of the Russian Revolution, Russian Civil War, and into the 1920s. Stalin, Kruschev, and Breshnev all led the Communist Party at various times.
After Nazi Germany's attach on the Soviet Union in 1941, Joseph Stalin revived the Russian Orthodox Church to intensify patriotic support for the war effort. The main target of the anti-religious campaign in the 1920s and 1930s was the Russian Orthodox Church, which had the largest number of faithful. Nearly all of its clergy, and many of its believers, were shot or sent to labor camps. Theological schools were closed, and church publications were prohibited.

In the late 1920s, Stalin ruled the Soviet Union as one of a triumvirate of leaders along with Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev. During this time, however, Stalin also served as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. He used this position to consolidate his power by appointing allies and removing opponents to and from positions of authority in the Communist Party and Soviet government. After Lenin died in 1924, Stalin was engaged in a struggle for complete power with Leon Trotsky, Grigoty Zinoviev and Nokolai Bukharin. He out maneuvered all three one by one and became the sole power in the USSR in 1929.
