Since the USSR didn't really have a democratic process, and the army seems to have more or less stayed out of politics, how did the top leadership actually battle over power? What were the mechanisms that people used to try to climb to the top? How much was the KGB involved?

>how did the top leadership actually battle over power?
Bysanthical bureaucratism and/or political cliques ganging up to take out one perceived enemy only to reform into different factions later.

Just like everywhere else.

It was like IRL version of Gay of Thrones. Nothing but backstabbery, murders, show trials, intrigues, etc.
