Joseph Stalin gained more power than any other person after Lenin died. In the last year of Lenin's life, Stalin led Russia along with Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev. Then Stalin gradually ousted Leon Trotsky, Nikolai Bukharin, Zinoviev and Kamenev from consideration as Lenin's sole successor. In 1929, Stalin became the sole power in the Soviet Union.
