| In 1922, when Stalin became General Secretary of the Communist Party, he put his own people in power. | |

 |
| | |
| Sounds like Stalin was planning ahead. | |

| Definitely. Stalin's planning paid off when Lenin had a stroke. That gave Stalin the chance to take more and more power. | |

|
| | |
| Didn't anyone try to stop him? | |

| | |
| Some tried, but like his greatest rival, Trotsky, they ended up dead. | |
| | |
|
|

| Maybe Stalin just needed a hug. | |
