Ioseb Djugashvili stands as one of the most famous religious leaders in history. But the seminary he attended was notorious for producing radicals - especially Marxists.

What if he had become a Marxist?
 
He wouldn’t have become the Supreme Patriarch of All-Russias. Had his theocratic regime never existed, millions is Muslims would still exist in the Caucasus and Central Asia.
 
Perhaps then the Russian Revolution would have succeeded. He was a very canny political leader. I'm sure he would bring much required competence to the Bolshevik cause
 
The SORR (Slavonic and Orthodox Republic of Russia) would never have been founded by the military junta and Djugashvili. Poles would be less xenophobic without the Moscow regime's attempts at mass conversions. And there would not have been the Constantinople crisis between the SORR and Greece
on one side and France and Great Britain on the other.
