How do you explain stalin's rise to power?
I have tried to split this into two questions: How did Josef Stalin rise to power in the USSR and Why did Stalin rise to power in the USSR.I shall answer How did Josef Stalin rise to power in the USSR.In 1924, the leader of the USSR, Lenin died. Stalin held the post of General Secretary of the Communist Party. Leon Trotsky, a powerful Marxist was the Minister of War. Eventually the true Marxist Trotsky, was sent into exile by Stalin who had maneuvered himself into a powerful position within the rank and file of Party members.This process began in 1921 when Stalin and four of his supporters gained control of the Party Control Commission. The Commission was in charge of, among other issues, making sure that Party members were not violating any Party decrees. By 1923 the Commission had grown to be a powerful force in the affairs of the Party.After Lenin's death, Stalin created a mass enrollment of new Party members. These members were loyal to their sponsor Stalin.Now with his large support, he as Party Secretary General, was able to keep in close contact with local communist parties. In this manner he was able to reward his followers and punish his enemies.By 1927 Stalin had enough support to keep Communist dissenters out of Party politics and Stalin for lack of a better word was a dictator. His chief critic Trotsky was disposed of by sending him into exile.Stalin waited until 1940 to have himself declared Premier of the USSR. He destroyed all opposition based on his early control of Party Control Commission. He used terror, secret arrests of Party members, fake trials, mass executions and forced labor camps for Communist dissidents. Stalin had kidnapped the Communist-Marxist revolution and was the all powerful leader of the USSR.
What role did Stalin serve under Lenin?
Stalin had many roles under Lenin. In 1917, with Lenin in exile in Switzerland, Stalin (with Lev Kamenev) ran the Bolshevik Party until April when Lenin returned. Stalin also led the Party when Lenin was in hiding in Finland after the abortive attempted Bolshevik coup in July. He was one of five leaders of the Military Revolutionary Centre, which became the armed force that backed up the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution. Perhaps his most important position was as Peoples Commissar for Nationalities, which allowed him access to many Bolshevik leaders. He made many alliances which later helped him oust Leon Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev and Nikolai Bukharin as rivals for succession in leadership of the Communist Party after Lenin's death in 1924. In 1922 after the Eighth Party Congress, Stalin was appointed General Secretary of the Communist Party.
