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.

∙ 13y agoA triumvirate of Joseph Stalin, Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kaminev ran the country after Lenin died. Stalin did not become the sole leader immediately on Lenin's death. Gradually, he eliminated Leon Trotsky as a potential ruler. Then he ousted his former partners Zinoviev and Kaminev from office and had them shot. He had sole power around 1929 but didn't become the dictator he eventually became until about 1932.
