Soviet Collapse 1945

[Wendell]

So we get a unified Vietnam under Ho? Mmm. Doesn't seem that nice.

Could have been worse.

Sure; twas temporary OTL after all.

Seems to have been fairly permanent IMO.

But what's the body count for Communist Rule in Eastern Europe vs. the body count for the 2nd Russian Civil War and the Polish dictatorship?

It's not that simple.

It's not that simple.

No, it's not.

How is the USSR collapsing? How does the war end? Etc. etc .

I realize it sounds kinda dickish, but if Germany is victorious in the east and falls under a rain of atomic weapons, that's a different outcome than the allies beating the Red Army to Berlin.

I'm not sure what precisely causes the Soviets to collspse. I did not sart this thread. My guess would be that denying Lend-lease aid to Stalin would be part of this scenario.
