Nikita Khrushchev became the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union after Stalin died. The General Secretary's position was the real seat of power in the Soviet Union at the time. In that sense only can it be logically said that Khrushchev "lead communism" after Stalin died. It would be incorrect to say that he "lead communism," because "communism" existed in several other countries and neither Stalin nor Khrushchev lead those countries. One could say that Nikita Khrushchev lead communism in the Soviet Union in particular, but not that he lead communism in general.

∙ 9y agoBased on the words of Nikita Khrushchev, there was confusion among the top Soviet leaders when Stalin died. Malenkov emerged as Prime Minister and First Secretary of the Communist Party with Beria second in the hierarchy. These two men were temporary political allies. On the other hand, Khrushchev, for a brief time went along with this situation. In less then a month, Malenkov was pressed into giving up his position as Secretary to Khrushchev, while maintaining his position of Prime Minister. Khrushchev officially became the Secretary within six months.

∙ 13y agoJoseph Stalin held the position of "General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party" before and after Lenin died in 1924. There was no such position as "General Secretary of the Soviet Union."
Lenin never served in the General Secretary's position. He created it in 1922 and gave it to Joseph Stalin, who held it until his death in 1953. At first the position was thought to be nothing more than spokesman for Lenin, since Lenin ran the Communist Party. When Lenin was unable to govern after his stroke in 1922, Stalin used his position to gain power by appointing his allies to important Party and governmental positions and transferring his opponents out of such positions.

What type of rulers were the Russian leaders what was their style of leadership?
You don't say what era you are talking about, but luckily it doesn't make much difference. The Russian Tsars were autocratic, all-powerful rulers. Although the Communist party from 1919 made much of a show of 'rule by the people', Communist leaders - in practice: the Secretary-General of the Communist Party - were all every bit as autocratic as the Tsars before them. Today, Russia in theory is a democracy without any ideological signature, but it is clear that Vladimir Putin has emerged as another autocratic ruler. Strange as it may seem to other nations, Russians actually like their rulers to be autocratic, take-control men with little regard for democratic institutions. Putin enjoys wide popularity and even Stalin is fondly remembered, as are the Tsars.
