Lazar Kaganovich takes over after Stalin's death

Is there any way Lazar Kaganovich can take over after Stalin dies? What kind of consequences could this have? I can see the European Defence Community being ratified by the French Parliament, (it was only rejected very narrowly in OTL) since a Stalinist still rules the Soviet Union.

Perhaps one way for Kaganovich to take is that Stalin dies earlier. I can also see Kaganovich being a Soviet McCarthy, he would launch one ruthless purge after another and then he'll probably be purged himself.

The problem with the EDC for the French wasn't the nature of the Soviets, but the fact that Germany was getting rearmed as a consequence of it (the EDC).
