A "competition" for power ensued after Lenin's death. At first, Russia was ruled by a triumvirate of Joseph Stalin, Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev. The competition for power began among Leon Trotsky, Nikolai Bukharin, Zinoviev and Stalin. After some political manipulations Trotsky was made to leave USSR by Stalin and his allies Bukharin, Zinoviev and Kamenev. Thereafter, Stalin allied himself with Bukharin and eliminated Zinoviev. Once Zinoviev was gone, Stalin abandoned Bukharin and he was forced out of the Communist Party as well. Stalin wound up with the whole power of the Communist Party in his hands.
