Stalin's efficiency as the head of the communist party in Russia has been questioned quite extensively until today. When Stalin was elected general secretary of the Communist party in 1922 a base for his political influence was founded from which he would gain power and take over as the sole dictator of Russia in 1930.

He was later accused on false charges of organizing a terrorist organization and he was convicted and shot. Trotsky, who Stalin also saw as a great threat to his power, was later assassinated in Mexico.
