Vladimir Lenin was the first person to take control in the Soviet Union. Lenin was in power through January 1924 when he died. Although he was almost totally incapacitated from strokes in 1923 (he could not speak or write), he was still active when the Soviet Union was formed in December 1922.
Officially, Lenin ruled from about October 25, 1917 (Julian calendar) to his death on January 21, 1924. In fact after having a stroke in 1922, he was virtually incapable of governing practically throughout the entire year of 1923. He was wheelchair bound, could not speak and had lost virtually all political power within the Communist Party.
