J. V. Stalin against Y. M. Sverdlov. Autumn 1918

Summary/Abstract: In the article based on the published and unpublished sources were defined activities of a member of the Central Committee of the RCP(b), Commissar for Nationalities, the future Secretary-General of the Central Committee of the RCP(b) J. V. Stalin after being wounded leader of the world revolution V. I. Lenin (August 30, 1918). At the head of the party-state mechanism appeared Chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the Council, the first Soviet parliament, and the head of the Secretariat of the Bolshevik’s Central Committee Y. M. Sverdlov, called himself “the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party” and the chairman of Military Heist Council — Military Revolutionary Council of the Republic L. D. Trotsky. J. V. Stalin quarreled with Y. M. Sverdlov long before the October Revolution — in the period of reference in the joint Turukhansk region, and recent actions in Tsaritsyn finally alienated L. D. Trotsky. So coming to power Y. M. Sverdlov and L. D. Trotsky led to J. V. Stalin’s loss of a sufficiently high status in the Bolshevik Party. J. V. Stalin uninvited appeared at the center, not failing to make fun of the old comrades in exile. The charges stemmed from a policy Y. M. Sverdlov against the Cossacks, one of the first steps to a massive red terror against the Cossacks, announced by the Organising Bureau of the Central Committee of RCP(b) in 1919. Appearing in the center, J. V. Stalin did everything to neutralize the powerful tandem and return full power to the leader of the world revolution. Without an understanding of these events it is impossible to study inner-party struggle in the RCP(b) in the second half of 1918 – beginning of 1919.
