3 © Anglican High School Humanities Department 2022 2273/02/S3/EOY/22 Stalin’s rise to power BACKGROUND INFORMATION Read this carefully. It may help you to answer some of the questions. Vladimir Lenin founded the Soviet Union in 1922. Upon his death in 1924, a power struggle took place among potential successors - Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Alexei Rykov, Nikolai Bukharin, Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev. In the midst of the power struggle, Trotsky was removed as Head of the Red Army in January 1925. Even though Stalin still paled in comparison to his remaining political rivals in his status and authority, he emerged as the leader of Soviet Union by 1929. Did Stalin rise to power due to his own abilities? Source A: An extract taken from Lenin’s Testament, 1922. Source B: A Soviet poster with the caption “With the banner of Lenin, we won in the battle for the October Revolution. - Stalin”, published in 1934. Comrade Trotsky, in his struggle on his differences with the Central Committee , has already proved his outstanding ability. He is personally perhaps the most capable man in the present Central Committee – but he has displayed excessive self -confidence and preoccupation with the purely administrative side of the work.

4 © Anglican High School Humanities Department 2022 2273/02/S3/EOY/22 Source C: An extract from an article titled “Stalin versus Trotsky”. When Lenin became temporarily incapacitated after a stroke in May 1922, the unity of the Politburo fractured, and a troika (triumv irate) formed by Stalin, Kamenev, and Zinoviev assumed leadership in opposition to Trotsky. The troika successfully maneuvered against Trotsky and engineered his removal as head of Red Army in January 1925. Soon, however, Kamenev and Zinoviev became apprehensive about Stalin's growing power. Stalin then broke up the triumvirate by refusing to consult his partners or discuss with them his moves before the sessions of the Politburo . Stalin gradually consolidated his power base and, with this support, he ousted Kamenev and Zinoviev by 1927. Source D: An extract from an interview, published in a history textbook, 1992. Nobody felt that Stalin represented any danger. For example, Zinoviev and Kamenev would not have liked to see Bukharin having the role of general -secretary, and Bukharin would not have liked to see Zinoviev having that post. All of them agreed that they were afraid of Trotsky, but nobody seemed particularly opposed to the idea of Stalin having the post. That is how it happened in the end; and Stalin got his hands on such a huge amount of power that worked in his favour. Source E An extract from Stalin’s speech at a meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, 17 January 1925. The Party makes two main charges against Trotsky. First, he is trying to revise Leninism, and second, he is trying to bring about a change in the Party leadership. Trotsky has not said anything in his own defence against these charges. The usual explanation is that he has fallen ill and not been able to defend himself. But it is not the Party’s fault if Trotsky begins to get a high temperature after every attack he makes on the Party. Now he says he said nothing because he did not want to make matters worse. Personally, I do not think it is convincing. Trotsky evidently lacks the courage to frankly admit his mistakes. Source F: A university history professor’s view on Stalin, 2008. Trotsky insisted that Stalin won not because of his ideas on Communism, but because Stalin was Party General Secretary, and the General Secretary had the power to appoint all top Party officials. Stalin had stacked the Party with officials who were personally loyal to him, people who support him regardless of the policy options.
