Transcript	discovered, he destroys them in cold blood and with complete un- scrupulousness. It is Stalin who draws up the list of members of the Political Bureau and the members of the Central Committee. It is Stalin who designates the all-powerful governors of the provinces and the large cities—that is, the secretaries of the Party committees. It is Stalin who names the Commissars of the People and all the high functionaries of the State, each of whom is a master in his own sphere, each of whom designates, in his turn, devoted directors in the secondary spheres. In this hierarchy, appointed and controlled from top to bottom, resides the incomparable homogeneity of the Party and the Soviet regime. Many books have been written about the man who thus holds centralized in his hands the most formidable power in history. We know of only one serious book on the subject: Stalin by Boris Souvarine, a former important member of the Hid International. This book, unequalled in any language, summarizes and clarifies an immense amount of documentation on the entire Russian Revolution. STALIN Stalin, a native of Georgia, was a student in a religious seminary. After receiving a religious education up to the age of 17, he joined the socialist movement when the first social-democratic groups were being formed in Georgia. In the course of his activity, he received several sentences and was deported to Siberia between the first and second revolution. He is one of the very few Bolshevik leaders who were never abroad.

His position as the supreme Party secretary made him master of the files of the Central Committee. He knew how to use it to prepare the "very spicy dish" that Lenin foresaw. While his rivals tried to win by means of their talents as polemicists, orators or writers, Stalin contented himself with manipulating the Party file. He created positions. He placed his henchmen at strategic points. One way or another, Party functionaries became his men. As a result of favors, displacements and promotions, he won for himself the Party machinery. Stalin became the master. This termite's labor lasted years. After Lenin's death, the great Bolshevik leaders, who were to divide Lenin's succession, were Zinoviev, Trotskv. Boukharin, Kameniev, Rykov, Tomsky. To begin with, all formed a coalition against Trotsky, the strongest. Trotsky was defeated in 1924- 1925. The victors then divided themselves into two opposing camps: the 56
