The USSR was already a one party dictatorship at that point, so I don't know if that's a relevant example.

Yes, it was a single party government, but not consolidated under a dictator until Stalin. Even Lenin, until he basically retired (was very sick and died soon thereafter), didn't have the iron grip on the government that Stalin did.
