At first, Joseph Stalin fought Leon Trotsky for power in the new Soviet Union. Once Stalin eliminated Trotsky, he fought with Grigory Zinoviev, eliminated him then vied with Nikolai Bukharin for sole control of the government. He outmaneuvered Bukharin as well and by 1929, Stalin had sole control of the Communist Party and the government of the Soviet Union.
