Nikita Khrushchev

Immediately after Stalin's death, Georgy Malenkov became the Premier of the Soviet Union while Nikita Khrushchev became First Secretary of the Communist Party. Both were in a position to wield authority, so the two ruled together in an uneasy alliance. About 2 years later, Malenkov was forced to resign and Khrushchev was able to oust all other rivals for power and take it for himself until he was deposed.
