Stalin as General Secretary (1922–29)

On the Stalin’s Soviet Union map as “The Secretariat”

1922–1929 — The General Secretary’s staff worked from the Central Committee’s offices in Moscow, appointing and moving party officials throughout the Union. Those appointments mattered when the party met: local secretaries owed Stalin their positions and voted with him at congresses. A job that seemed the dullest in the leadership became the deciding one.
