Both supported a state-capitalist Dictatorship by a small number of people. That’s to say, a form of capitalism where the means means of production are owned by the state, but the vast majority of people still have to work for wages.

Stalin wanted to build Lenin's memory up as almost god-like pretty much so that he could be perceived that way too when he took over from Lenin.
Vladimir Lenin, then Joseph Stalin
He was adverse to Stalin taking over, so he probably wanted Trotsky to come to power.
At first, lenin... then lenin died and Stalin screwed with the succession and seized power.
Stalin's chief was Vladimir Lenin during the years before the Russian Revolution and until Lenin's death.
I think Lenin was succeeded by Stalin.

Stalin was Lenin's successor, even though Lenin didn't actually like Stalin much. Before that, Stalin had been in charge of the Communist Party's administration.

Josef Stalin replaced Lenin in 1924
Stalin took over after Lenin died, in spite of Lenin's warning not to let him do so.
The cult of Lenin made Stalin look like Lenin's successor. Stalin forged pictures of himself and Lenin, which made them look like comrades, when in fact Lenin couldn't stand Stalin, as he revealed in his Testament. By exploiting his supposed relationship with Lenin Stalin was able to gather support, as Lenin was loved throughout Russia. One of the major vents involving Stalin's manipulation of his relationship with Lenin was at Lenin's funeral. lenin had wanted a small, quiet funeral, however Stalin had made it into a big public affair. Stalin had the proceeded to persuade Trotsky, his biggest competitor in the power struggle, to not come. This made Stalin look really good and Trotsky really bad.
