Stalin became a Soviet Union's and a country's communist party leader in 1924, after death of V. Lenin. However, his actual Dictatorship began around 1930, after he banned all private businesses, eliminated opposition, and started 20+ years-long campaign of killing fellow countrymen by the millions. By some estimates as many as 50 million people were murdered or died in camps in the name of socialism/communism.
