I know this likely requires a different regime to the nazis, which in turn makes Barbarossa nigh impossible because only the Nazis were willing to push things so far, but ignoring all those specifics.

How do you think a Barbarossa (by whatever alt-german hypothetical regime intitiates it) that is sold as an anti-Stalin revolution to liberate Soviet people from Stalin would work? The objective of this would be rather than an outright conquest of the USSR to achieve separate governments (like an independent Ukraine) that would fall within Germany's economic sphere of influence.

Obviously this would require different preparation and supplies to be able to treat the soviet population in a human way rather than starve them to death.

Do you think such an operation could succeed in toppling Stalin and the Communist Party?
