Joseph Stalin was the "totalitarian" leader of the Soviet Union after Lenin, however he did not have dictatorial powers immediately after Lenin's death in 1924. It took Stalin until the mid 1930's before he had eliminated almost all of his equals in the Communist Party and installed people loyal to him personally in positions of power. Once he had done that he became the totalitarian leader that history remembers him as.
