What role did Stalin serve under Lenin?
Stalin had many roles under Lenin. In 1917, with Lenin in exile in Switzerland, Stalin (with Lev Kamenev) ran the Bolshevik Party until April when Lenin returned. Stalin also led the Party when Lenin was in hiding in Finland after the abortive attempted Bolshevik coup in July. He was one of five leaders of the Military Revolutionary Centre, which became the armed force that backed up the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution. Perhaps his most important position was as Peoples Commissar for Nationalities, which allowed him access to many Bolshevik leaders. He made many alliances which later helped him oust Leon Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev and Nikolai Bukharin as rivals for succession in leadership of the Communist Party after Lenin's death in 1924. In 1922 after the Eighth Party Congress, Stalin was appointed General Secretary of the Communist Party.
