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.
