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.
