Trotsky ?

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. By then Stalin was so entrenched in the party that he cut ties with Bukharin and simply assumed power in the absence of meaningful opposition.
