Up until March 1953 this was Josef Stalin. After his death, a 'Collective Leadership' was established consisting of four statesmen- Georgi Malenkov, Nikolai Bulganin, Nikita Krushchev and Sergei Molotov. These four were meant to govern the USSR jointly as a team, and did so in the early months following Stalin's death. However, Kruschev was sickened and appalled at the crimes against humanity that the other three men had carried out when they were ministers under Stalin, and at their complicity in Stalin's crimes. He set about establishing himself as de facto leader of the USSR, ensuring that Bulganin, Molotov and Malenkov ended up serving under him as ministers, and in the end having Molotov executed. By 1957, Kruschev was overall head of the Soviet Union, a position that he maintained until '64.
