The main struggle for control was between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. However Grigory Zinoviev and Nikolai Bukharin were also high enough in the ruling party that they could also vie for control. Stalin allied himself with Zinoviev to oust Trotsky. Then allied himself with Bukharin to eliminate Zinoviev.
