This is because it was the root cause of his rise to power, and if Lenin's Testament was revealed to the public, Stalin would have been rid of any chance to rise to power. If it was public, Stalin would remain as Secretary General, and still had the authority to place his allies in the Party, which aided his rise to leadership.]]> 2017-04-06 01:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027331 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027357 The most important reason for the rise of Stalin is non-disclosure of Lenin's testament. This is because if Lenin's Testament was made public, Trotsky would have been the successor of Lenin rather than Stalin due to the negative comments made by Lenin. Even though the non-disclosure of the testament felt like the only right decision at that point of time, it was a successful stepping stone for Stalin because this benefited Stalin as he would then have equal opportunities as other potential successors of Lenin, which then he eliminated these political opponents to rise to power.

This was because if Trotsky was popular amongst the other Party Members, Stalin would not have had the chance to undercut him in the first place since Trotsky would have been well loved amongst the party members. However since Trotsky was disliked and even hated by other members of the Politburo, Stalin was able to take advantage and push for his resignation which would allow him to eliminate his biggest rival as Lenin's successor. This had a long term impact on Stalins rise to being supreme leader since he was able to reach a higher end of power. As a result, other party memembers voted and supported for Stalin instead which brought him closer to supreme leader. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027366 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027372 In my opinion, the most important reason for the rise of Josef Stalin would be his manipulations. Even though the Politburo did not disclose Lenin's testament and Trotsky's unpopularity, without Stalin's manipulations, he would not have been able to establish himself as supreme leader. Stalin pretended to be close to Lenin, so that it seemed that he was Lenin's potential successor. He too was in a position where he could influence his party members, for example, he was the Secretary General of the Communist Party, which gave him considerable power to appoint his supporters to importany posts. Furthermore, he exploited the ideological divisions by allying himself with both sides at different times, to eliminate his competition. By doing so, he managed to con and cheat the people closest to him in order to get the position of supreme leader of Russia. Therefore, I feel that the most important reason for the rise of Josef Stalin would be his manipulations.]]> 2017-04-06 01:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027372 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027388 The most inportant reason for the rise of Stalin is Stalin's manipulation.This was because it was the root cause for his rise of power. Before Lenin's death, Stalin had already started manipulation and often went near to Lenin. Without Stalin's manipulation, even if Trotsky was unpopular or non-disclosure of Lenin's testament would be useless as it will only benefits the others.]]> 2017-04-06 01:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027388 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027858 The most important reason for the rise of Stalin is Trotsky's Unpopularity. This is because it was the trigger cause for his rise in power. Without Trotsky unpopularity, even if its Stalin's manipulations or non disclosure of Lenin's testament would be useless. If Trotsky wasn't unpopular, other members would have liked him and made him the leader instead of Stalin. However, since Trotsky was unpopular in the Politburo, Stalin took the chance to manipulate the Politburo with his position and thus making him the leader. Trotsky Unpopularity made him a hated member in the Politburo, thus he wasn't made the leader and Stalin rise to power becoming the leader instead.]]> 2017-04-06 01:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027858 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027863 The most important reason for the rise of Stalin was Stalin's manipulations because it was the trigger cause. Even though the non-disclosure of Lenin's testament and Trotsky's unpopularity in the Politburo did shape the way for Stalin's success, it was Stalin's own manipulative strategies that pushed him to become the supreme leader of the Soviet Union. Stalin pretended to have been close to Lenin to fool the party members in the Politburo that Lenin favoured him. His position as the Secretary General gave him an advantage over the others to remove and replace their allies with his own. This helped boost Stalin's support in the party and also shrank the support base of Leon Trotsky, Stalin's major competitor for leader of the Soviet Union. Stalin was so strategic and manipulative in slowly taking down his opponents that that led to his rise in power in the Soviet Union. Thus, Stalin's manipulations was the most important reason for his rise in power as that was the deciding factor. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027863 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027945 The most important reason for the rise of Josef Stalin is Stalin's manipulations. This is because if he did not manipulate the other members of the politburo, he would never be able to rise to power and he would not have been seen as being close with Lenin to make other people believe that he was the obvious successor to Lenin. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027945 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027961 The most important reason for the rise of Josef Stalin is Stalin's manipulation. This is because it is a trigger cause. If Stalin didn't use manipulation, he would not have seemed close to Lenin, which was a factor that made people believe he was the next successor of Lenin. Even if Lenin's testaments were not disclosed, or even if Trotsky was not popular, it was ultimately Stalin's manipulation that got him what he wanted, by killing off his competitiors and making himself seem close to Lenin. Hence, I feel that Stalin's manipulation was the most important factor that made Stalin rose to power.

By appearing close to Lenin he made it seem that he was the rightful heir to Lenin's Throne Trotsky's unpopularity in the Politburo was a contributing factor to Stalin's rise as he was exploiting Trotsky's differences in thoughts and thus Trotsky's unpopularity was only a catalyst for Stalin's rise. The non disclosure of lenins testament also acted as a catalyst for Stalin's rise to power as no one was able to see Stalin's true intentions as the testament was not revealed to the general public.Therefore although both Trotsky's unpopularity and the non disclosure of Lenin's testament were major reasons for Stalin's rise to power they were merely catalysts to his rise To power. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027971 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027975 The most important reason for the rise of Josef Stalin is Trotsky's unpopularity in the Politburo. This is because Lenin's potential successors all feared that Trotsky is the most serious threat to their power. He was Lenin's right hand man and was the head of the Red Army, which lead the Army to victory in the civil war against the Whites and support from the Red Army made him powerful.
As Trotsky believed in other ideas of running the country, such as "permanent revolution", Trotsky was seen as straying away from the Party's decisions. Stalin was able to use Trotsky's unpopularity to resign and expel him from the Party. Stalin gained support from other members of the Party as he had removed their greatest rival. Thus, Trotsky's unpopularity in the Politburo was the root cause that pushed Stalin to rise up to power. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165027975 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165028040 The most important reason for the rise of stalin is because of Stalin's manipulations. He pretended to be close to Lenin, making frequent visits to him, giving the impression that he was Lenin's. Furthermore, during Lenin's death, he organised Lenin's funeral, making it a grand affair. He gave a funeral speech and established himself as the chief mourner, showing to be deeply sorrowful over the loss of Lenin. He even ordered Lenin's body to be embalmed and displayed in Red Square]]> 2017-04-06 01:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165028040 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165028977 The most important reason for the rise of stlain is trostky's unopularity in the politburo. He was regarded as lenin's right hand man. If he was nort unpopular in the politburo he would have succeded lenin and stalin would not be able to take power]]> 2017-04-06 01:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165028977 https://padlet.com/naixela/riseofstalin/wish/165489238 The most important reason for the rise of Josef Stalin is Stalin's manipulations. Stalin tried to suppress Lenin's testament by giving people the impression that he and Lenin were very close and that Lenin and favoured and trusted Stalin. Stalin took advantage of Trotsky's illness and gave him the wrong date to Lenin's funeral causing him not to be able to attend and made people angry as they felt that Trotsky disrespected Lenin. If Trotsky was not ill, he would have been able to attend Lenin's funeral and people would not have been able to say the Trotsky was disrespectful.
