Man of Steel, killed during WW2.

Whe have had several Good TL's involving the Success of various attempts on Hitler.
However I don't remember many Threads dealing with the Results of a successful assignation of Stalin During the War.

?Any Ideas on the results of a early Assignation vs His being killed near the end?
 
I think it really depends on the exact time. If it was prior to the German invasion Russia would have likely fallen into another civil war. If after the invasion you could easily see the USSR sliding towards military rule, at least temporarily.
 
Apparently there were plans for a military coup if Stalin refused to stop meddling with military plans and operations.He historically agreed but apparently at one meeting Zhukov was ready to shoot him.

This would be an interesting POD.
 
For some reason I thought this was going to be a Superman WI.
No -- While the early 40's Superman could have been killed, by WW2 Artillery, I mean the Real Life Man Of Steel. Anyway Superman would be under the Books thread.
I think it really depends on the exact time.
Why I asked about the difference between an early and a late in the war death.
