Lenin Asasinated

I would say the Leo Trotsky would take over but I don't know how effective a leader he would be, perhaps Stalin would lead the charge against the Whites?

Fanya Kaplan put three bullets into Lenin on 30 August 1918.
In OTL Stalin proposed to Lenin and the other Bolshevik leaders what he termed “Open and systematic mass terror” which was carried out by Felix Dzerzhinsky and came to be called “The Red terror”.
If in ATL Lenin died from his wounds that day the big question as I see it isn’t would the Bolshevik’s keep control, the already were firmly in control, but who would succeed Lenin.
Did Stalin have the Authority by that time or would there have been a stronger internal power struggle.
