Initiated by the main masterminds of the infighting and the Leningrad case:
Georgy Maksimilianovich Malenkov.
He had been on the side of Stalin and the Stalinists since the university, against Trotsky and the Trotskyists, he was on the right side of the "faction" and he had a powerful support for Stalin's exploits, his leadership, his iron-fisted policy of purging, he was a murderer, and if there were anti-Stalinists he would be shot immediately, and both the people and the top would die.
He devoted all his energies to Stalin's exploits. and expelled all opponents of Stalin from the party and removed them from all posts. And secretly executed, even their families were not spared.
After Stalin's sudden cardiac death, he was put in the highest position of power and was also the best person in Stalin's mind.
The other is that the second person in the Soviet Union, the chairman of the KGB, once joined forces with Malenkov to create the Leningrad case and clean out all those who threatened his rights and throne.
His name was, Beria.
He is known as the Red Devil, who has killed countless people and is brutal and cruel. It was Stalin's savior. But ruthless. The maintenance of Stalin's dominance was also so that he could also ascend to the throne after Stalin's death. As the head of the KGB secret police in the Soviet Union, he killed countless anti-Stalinists at a young age. And secretly operated ** Trotsky and others, and in the Great Purge from Stalin's coming to power until Stalin's death. Played the role of the adversary. In addition to killing countless people, he also shows his privilege and uses other people's softness to control others.
Stalin may have doubted anyone, but he could never have doubted him, and he considered himself 100% ** after Stalin's death. This view is exactly the same as that of Trotsky before him.
In another. It was the petty husband and the leader of the critics after Stalin's death.
Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev.
He was also a killer, he was also on the side of Stalin, and he killed many people in the past. He trumpeted what Stalin had done, and the great things encouraged the leader. He worshipped Stalin as ***. But after the death of Stalin himself, he opposed ***ism. He once said that Stalin was his reborn parents, and this was very much like what Malenkov said, and meeting Stalin was like meeting his own parents. Both of them are root-holders.
In the struggle for power, Malinkev decisively chose to side with Khrushchev and secretly executed Beria.
But in the end, what Malenkov did could not be concealed.
With the support of Mikoyang and Bulganin and others, Khrushchev ascended the throne.
