Georgy Malenko came after Joseph Stalin but was only in power for about a week. The Troika ruled for 6 months after Malenko. Then Nikita Khruschev was in power for 11 years.

Joseph Stalin led the Soviet Union. Stalin took over after Lenin died. Stalin was not Lenin's choice as a successor but Stalin schemed and came into power, basically he stole the title. He was in power before and after WW11. He died in 1953. In WW2 he had signed a non-agression pact with Hitler, but ultimately became allied with France, Great Britain, the United States and the other Allied countries.
