During the past twelve-month he has demonstrated his control of the Communist Party and the Government by reducing to political vassalage or inconsequence no less than six of Lenin's most potent disciples: Trotsky, Zinoviev, Radek, Sokolnikov, Lashe-vich and Kamenev. The "new triumvirate" are: 1) Joseph Dzhugashvili "Stalin"- political "boss" par excellence, nominally only Secretary General of the Communist Party; 2) Alexei Ivanovitch Rykov, President of the Council of People's Commissars (i. e.
