A troika of Joseph Stalin, Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev took power over Russia and the whole Soviet Union after Lenin died. Gradually, Stalin ousted all potential successors to Lenin one by one: Leon Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev, Nikolai Bukharin and Lev Kamenev until he was the only one left. Not until 1929 did Stalin have sole control over the Soviet Union.

The Russian Provisional Government headed by Prince Georgy Lvov and later by Alexander Kerensky ruled after the tsar abdicated in March 1917. In October 1917, the Provisional Government was overthrown and Vladimir Lenin and the Bolshevik Party took over.
