1. Who ruled the Soviet Union from the late 1920s until his death in 1953?

Your Answer: [No Answer]

The correct answer was Stalin

After Lenin's death in 1924 there was a power struggle in the leadership of the
Soviet Union. Stalin became the dictator of the USSR by 1927-28. Brezhnev and
Krushchev were not on the political scene at that point. Trotsky was exiled to
Kazakhstan in 1928 and expelled from the Soviet Union in 1929 by Stalin. By 1928
Stalin was firmly in control and at the very beginning of 1929 he ordered that the
five-year plan was to be completed one year early.

2. Following Stalin's death in 1953, who was the next premier of the U.S.S.R.?

Your Answer: Krushchev

The correct answer was Malenkov

Stalin died in 1953, leaving a sort of power vacuum. The group close to the center
of power began by having Lavrenti Beria, the much feared head of the secret police
since 1939 and would-be successor, shot. Georgi M. Malenkov became the leader for a
period, while Krushchev was the leader of the Communist Party. Krushchev actually
became premier following Bulganin. So the proper order is Stalin, Malenkov,
Bulganin, then Krushchev in 1958.
