What was Joseph Stalin role in late 1920?

Answer 1

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.
