Just finished watching a documentary on the the history of East Germany. After WWII Stalin broke his promise of free elections in the "liberated" areas and instead enforced stalinism on the soviet part of Germany and on the rest of Eastern Europe.
But what if Stalin suddenly dies in the summer of 1945, after the end of war in Europe? How would that effect the development of the East bloc? I suppose it´s forming was unavoidable, but how would it be without Stalin´s leadership?
