Assuming that, for whatever reason, Germany defeated the Soviet Union in WWII, what would become of the territories under Soviet control? How far could the Germans feasibly go into Russia? I can't imagine the Germans occupying all of the SU, but it also seems unlikely that they'd withdraw from any territory they did seize. This being the case, there would have to be some kind of rump Soviet state, probably still the largest nation on earth, but missing most of its more heavily populated, valuable territories. What would become of this state? I doubt anyone would be eager to help the remnant so long as it remains communist, but could it survive on its own?

Sorry for the ramble of questions, but this seems like a subject given surprisingly little attention given how many Nazi victory timelines there are out there.
