Best Answer

Stalin was in power as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and ruled as part of a three party committee with Grigori Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev in 1923 while Lenin was incapacitated by strokes and after Lenin died. Over the next several years he ousted Zinoviev and Kamenev and took sole power in 1929. He did not assume the title of Premier until 1941 and continued to wield the sole power in the Soviet Union until his death in 1953.

Joseph Stalin gained his power as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952, People's Commissar for the Defense of the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1946, and Chairman of the Council of Ministers from 1941 to 1953.

Regardless of the titles he held, Joseph Stalin consolidated his power and eliminated all opposition following the death of Stalin in 1924 and functioned as the head of state and dictator until his own death in 1953.
