Vladimir Lenin, then Joseph Stalin
Stalin was Lenin's successor, even though Lenin didn't actually like Stalin much. Before that, Stalin had been in charge of the Communist Party's administration.

At first, lenin... then lenin died and Stalin screwed with the succession and seized power.
Josef Stalin replaced Lenin in 1924
Stalin took over after Lenin died, in spite of Lenin's warning not to let him do so.
The cult of Lenin made Stalin look like Lenin's successor. Stalin forged pictures of himself and Lenin, which made them look like comrades, when in fact Lenin couldn't stand Stalin, as he revealed in his Testament. By exploiting his supposed relationship with Lenin Stalin was able to gather support, as Lenin was loved throughout Russia. One of the major vents involving Stalin's manipulation of his relationship with Lenin was at Lenin's funeral. lenin had wanted a small, quiet funeral, however Stalin had made it into a big public affair. Stalin had the proceeded to persuade Trotsky, his biggest competitor in the power struggle, to not come. This made Stalin look really good and Trotsky really bad.
