Your choice today is between Vyacheslav Molotov and Lavrenti Beria. Who shall succeed Stalin?
Molotov is an old-guard Stalinist, mostly satisfied with the policies of Stalin. A smooth diplomat, he nonetheless has worrying ideas about the conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States. His aggressive foreign policy is certain to sound good following the first American victory in the Cold War- Korea.
Beria, meanwhile, is a reformist, a Party dissident..... and a secret policeman. His policies, a radical departure from Stalin, find little support in the Party- but he doesn't need them now does he? He has the secret police behind him, and that might be all one needs. And then, there is the matter of his private life, which holds sick details.
So, debate, discuss and vote on this matter. Who shall succeed Stalin?
