With the amount of control Stalin was able to continuously have in the USSR and taking over the baltic states it made him a very strong leader. With being a strong leader he took advantage of his power to kill any of his opponents so he could stay in power for as long as he wanted. In addition, the USSR was able to join the League of Nations so they also had a say in international relations which made them untouchable in a way that nobody would stop them from doing anything. The only country that would stop the USSR is the United States but because the US was not in the League of Nations and for the fact they did not want to get involved they did not interfere with the USSR ongoings.
