Lenin+dies+in+1924



Lenin died in 1924 after having multiple strokes. Russia was not prepared for that so they went through a power struggle. A power struggle is when a country does not have someone ready to rule a country or be president if the ruler at the time passes. Many powerful communists wanted to become as powerful as Lenin. But the two most powerful communists were Trotsky vs. Stalin. Stalin won by getting many people on his side even though he betrayed and killed them.
