↑ A Short History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Encyclopædia Britannica, citation "It is Joseph Stalin who codified the body of ideas that, under the name of Marxism-Leninism, constituted the official doctrine of the Soviet and eastern European communist parties. Stalin was a man of action in a slightly different sense than was Lenin. Gradually taking over power after Lenin’s death in 1924, he pursued the development of the Soviet Union with great vigour. By practicing Marxism, he assimilated it, at the same time simplifying it... Stalin’s materialist and historical dialectic differs sharply from the perspective of Karl Marx."
