There was a power struggle among the Soviet Communist Party elite to succeed Stalin after his death in 1953. Georgy Malenkov was nominally the next leader after Stalin, but only remained in sole power for about a week. The Troika (triumvirate) of Malenkov, Beria and Molotov ruled for the next six months.

Khrushchev plotted with other high ranking Party leaders to have Beria executed.

The leader who eventually emerged and held power for the next eleven years was Nikita Khrushchev.

Khrushchev cleverly out maneuvered other top Party officials, and built his own power base. He was successful and rooted out "hardliners" when he revealed Stalin's crimes against other communists and the Russian people in general. In this manner "Stalinist" style rivals for power were ousted from any positions that would hamper Khrushchev's leadership role that he created for himself.

Nobody replaced Gorbachev as the leader of the Soviet Union, as the Soviet Union ceased to exist under Gorbachev in 1991.

If you think of Russia as the successor to the Soviet Union politically, then Boris Yeltsin, the first President of Russia, is Gorbachev's political heir, but he certainly was not the leader of the Soviet Union.
