So, Germany wins in WW2, the USSR is pushed to the other side of the Volga and, though they face some seriously hard times (an uprising in Turkestan and a general collapse of authority, think China in Warlord Era), the Soviets manage to somewhat stabilise, largely thanks to Western supplies coming in from Archangel (which, due to never falling to the germans, they managed to retain).
So, in this scenario, with a weak (but not outright inexistent) authority over it's territory, what would happen to the Volga Germans? They were expelled in 1941 to Kazakhstan. Would they rise against the soviets? Would the USSR try to extermine them like the germans did with the slavs, or would they leave them alone? Could the Volga Germans try to go back to their original lands, now (partly) under german control?
