How Stalin Became a Leader of Russia

How and why did Stalin win to be the loss attractor of Russia? Stalins manipulative nature Joseph Stalin was known to have a manipulative personality. He was persuasive, educated, determined unless also arrogant (due to his role as ecumenical sectarian). Also Lenin is gross as Lenin said in his testament Stalin is alike rude. later Lenin died during the struggle for power Stalin was reasonably quiet at the beginning. This makes him sly and surreptitious beca practice we get the impression he is up to no rock-steady. Stalin also be about the date of Lenins funeral to Trotsky.This meant that Trotsky didnt ttend the funeral which do Trotsky look really bad and disrespectful. prevarication about the funeral date makes Stalin look cunning and his personality doesnt seem manage a nice person. However these factors aided him to become future leader of Russia. Stalins choices of policies (NEP and socialism in one country) During the beginning of the struggle for power afterw ard Lenin died Stalin formed an alliance with Zinoviev and Kamenev in 1923, this was purely to keep Trotsky out of power.However in early 1925 Zinoviev and Kamenev split from Stalin, he Joined with Bukharin instead because Stalin said he was in favour of NEP. Zinoviev and Kamenev were removed from the party because they were against NEP. However in 1928 Stalin finish his alliance with Bukharin and rejected NEP he had more than communistic ideas which appealed to young communist chase which helped him win the take in 1929 which meant he won and became the leader of Russia.During the beginning of the struggle for power he was neither left over(p) non right wing (of communist ideas, all members of communism were left wing) Stalin stayed in the middle. By doing this he didnt seem like a threat to anyone as he slowly crept up to have power. Stalins use of General sectarian Stalin being General Sectary he was able to promote his followers notwithstanding also demote and even fir e raft who debate him. In my opinion without his General Sectary get off many of his rivals who were in the power struggle wouldVe defeated Stalin early on.He allied himself with whoever seemed strongest at that power point and because he was General Sectary he had authority to spy on people use secret police and a nonher strike not Just the person who had opposed him, but also their whole family. Lenin about predicted that Stalins role of General Sectary is a bad thing because he has too much power Stalin has unlimited authority concentrated in his ands Also as he was General Sectary this made him prevalent with the communist followers because he had a big role in the communist party.Stalins use of Lenins legacy Betore Lenin died ne nad written a testament about Stalin, Trotsky, Bukharin, Zinoviev and Kamenev. In the testament Lenin hadnt said any good things about Stalin. Lenin said negative things such as l am not sure whether Stalin w affliction always be capable of usin g that authority with sufficient caution and as seen in future events Stalin didnt use his role of General Sectary properly, he used it to promote his followers and fire his opponents. He also used it as an excuse to murder which isnt acceptable. l suggest the comrades think about a way of removing Stalin from that post and appointing another man in his stead being more tolerant, more loyal, more polite, and more considerate to the comrades Lenin suggested that Stalin should be removed from his General Sectary post, if he was he may have not become leader of Russia at all? However Stalin kept his post as General Sectary. All of the members of the communist party decided to keep Lenins testament a secret because Lenin had said bad things about all of them so it would be a better idea not to tell the public.At Lenins funeral Stalin spoke about Lenin which is strange, because Lenin and Stalin never got along. Stalin had an argument with Lenins wife before Lenin had died. Because Stalin had spoken at Lenins funeral this makes people respect Stalin more, and he gained more generality. Stalins opponents weaknesses TROTSKY In Lenins testament Lenin described Trotsky with heavy(p) ability, very able and intelligent. However he was very arrogant and on that point was an element of mistrust. Trotsky decided to stay on his own during 1923-24 which also made him weaker.He ecame an enemy of Stalin and Stalin lied to him about the date of Lenins funeral which then meant Trotsky was unable to moment up which made him very unpopular. He was also very ill which meant that he missed important meetings. BUKHARIN Lenin described Bukharin as very popular and likeable. However he wasnt fully communist and his commitment must be questioned. During 1923-24 Bukharin was in the right wing (of communist ideas) but he didnt turn tail a big role in the struggle for power. However he teamed up with Stalin during 1925. Bukharin became an enemy of Stalin in 1928 and delayed Bukharins pl ane so he missed an important meeting.However he was still considered the favourite of the party until he arranged a secret meeting with Zinoviev and Kamenev, Stalin found out and told everyone so Bukharin became unpopular because people couldnt trust him which weakened him greatly. ZINOVIEV AND KAMENEV Zinoviev and Kamenev were described as too cautious because they didnt play a big role in the October revolution. This marrow that their commitment must be questioned. They allied with Stalin very early on in 1923 however they ended their alliance with Stalin at the end of 1924 because they no longer wanted NEP and ntended to become more industrialised.However they became unpopular because they challenged Bukharins authority in 1927 (this is when Stalin and Bukharin were together). A vote proved this which made them weaker. They were never re-elected after that vote and feared Stalin and Bukharin more than Trotsky. However they made an alliance with Trotsky and were in favour of lef t wing communism (world revolution). Because of this the three of them were expelled from the party. This weakened them the most, they were re-admitted after they publicly apologised but Stalin only used Zinoviev and Kamenev for their tactics.
