Answer 2

Answer: The answer is B) as general seceretary of the communist party, he led the party after his death.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stalin held two ministerial posts in the new Bolshevik government, being commissar for nationalities (1917–23) and for state control (or workers’ and peasants’ inspection; 1919–23). But it was his position as secretary general of the party’s Central Committee, from 1922 until his death, that was the power base for his dictatorship.
