Getty says that the common story where Stalin's rise to power goes hand in hand with an idea that he centralized power over the party personnel system simply isn't true due to the calls to centralize it were lead by the opposition. Getty's Yezhov Biography, page 72 (screenshot)

Trotsky's narrative where Stalin centralized the party personnel system to transform the Soviet apparatus into a bureaucracy of patronage defending a circular system of accession to power is false as it was the opposition that fought for centralization & central appointments declined w/Stalin's rise

a Perestroika era soviet mug coaster showing khrushchev wearing a drab beige blazer decorated with his three Hero of the USSR medals over his heart and what appears to be an Order of Lenin medal over his left breast , holding his fist in the air with the American flag waving behind him, composited against a city (unclear which). Above and below there is cyrilic text in yellow on a read background, translation needed.
