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.
Lenin and Stalin gave the Soviet Union an autocratic (Totalitarian) Communist Government. Stalin kills more people than Lenin did. (Because Stalin is even more cruel than Lenin, who is somewhat more humane and Stalin took place as leader of USSR for nearly 30 years while Lenin died within 5 years after assumed as leader of USSR.)
After Lenin's death in 1924, Joseph Stalin emerged as the leader of the newly formed Soviet Union. He gradually consolidated power by outmaneuvering rivals, such as Leon Trotsky, and implemented policies that transformed the Soviet state. Stalin's leadership marked the beginning of a totalitarian regime characterized by extensive political repression and rapid industrialization.
