Communist Party of the Soviet Union

The Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) was a far-left political party founded by Vladimir Lenin that was the sole party within the Soviet Union from 1918 to 1991. The leader of the CPSU is referred to as General Secretary, and is also generally the leader of the Soviet Union itself. 
Disillusionment with communism within the USSR eventually resulted in the CPSU being banned in 1991 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and founding of the Russian Federation.
