Joseph Stalin triumphed in their rivalry. Stalin had political alliances with too many highly placed Communist Party officials (like Groiry Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev) for Trotsky to resist. Stalin first had Trotsky expelled from the Communist Party, then exiled from the Soviet Union, then murdered in Mexico in 1940. Stalin ruled the Soviet Union singlehandedly from about 1928 till his death in 1953.
