After Lenin died and for the rest of 1924, Russia was led by a trio of Joseph Stalin, Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev. Joseph Stalin was not the sole rule until much later.

Stalin never "joined the Soviet Union." Vladimir Lenin created it in 1922 when Stalin was one of several Commissars in Lenin's government. After Lenin died Stalin and others took over running the Soviet government. Later he had total control of it. Why did he take control over it. Stalin was always power hungry and controlling. He saw his chance at surviving Lenin after Lenin had his disabling strokes and stepped in to take that control of and exercise power over a country.
Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin were the names of the Two Russian leaders who launched and solidified the rule of communism in Russia.
Following the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1924, Joseph Stalin rose steadily into the position of supreme power in the Soviet Union. Gathering allies to his side while gradually eliminating his enemies, Stalin's rule was absolute by the early 1930s, and he would go on to rule as Marxist dictator until his death in 1953.
Russia under the rule of Joseph Stalin was the most powerful in its history.

Lenin and Stalin gave the Soviet Union an autocratic (Totalitarian) Communist Government. Stalin kills more people than Lenin did. (Because Stalin is even more cruel than Lenin, who is somewhat more humane and Stalin took place as leader of USSR for nearly 30 years while Lenin died within 5 years after assumed as leader of USSR.)
