Josef Stalin lives for another year or so, long enough to begin another Purge. Laventry Beria, Leonid Brezhnev, and Vyacheslav Molotov were a few of the hundreds of Party officials who were sent to the gulag or just outright shot. In February of 1954, Nikita Kruschev, Sergei Kruglov, and Georgi Zhukov staged a coup against the increasingly paranoid and (honestly) senile Stalin. The TL was named after the last words Stalin supposedly said. The TL includes all this in its first update, though later updates focus on the Troika Era of the Soviet Politics, as the Zhukov/Kruschev/Kruglov triumvirate shakily guides the USSR through the 50s and 60s.

The timeline begins with the birth of his son Traugott in 1777 and tells the history of the playwright dynasty Lessing over ten generations.
