I was overlooking the thread about the USSR collapsing in 1941, and it got me thinking of something I heard awhile ago, and this too may be implausible or the consequence of someone repeating a myth to me, without my realizing it was inaccurate. If so I apologize if what follows is ASB level unlikely. In any case, early in the war period, Stalin feared that he was to be ousted for incompetence, and as a result, he briefly contemplated suicide. So, lets say he goes through with it, and kills himself in the summer of 1941 before he can be convinced that he is not going to be removed for incompetence. What happens next? Once again I apologize if the POD is somewhat unlikely
