John Heinrich Detlef Rabe, the German Empire’s ambassador to the Republic of China (1945-1950). Formerly a plant manager for the German industrial giant Siemens Aktiengesellschaft/Siemens AG, Rabe used his nation’s good post-Great War relations with the Empire of Japan to establish an International Safety Zone as a safe haven for Chinese civilians.
​
His efforts, and that of other Westerners, helped save the lives of 250,000 people. After Japanese troops stormed various European consulates in Hong Kong on 20 December 1940 (after the Fall of Hong Kong on the 17th) and massacred European & Chinese civilians for the consulates’ suspected harbouring of Chinese soldiers, the German Empire, the Restored Kingdom of France (under Henry VI of House Bourbon), & the British Empire all declared war on Japan.

The ensuing war, known as “the Asia War”, would last from 1941 to 1945 and end with the capture of Tokyo and removal of Emperor Chichibu and his subsequent replacement with his younger brother, Hirohito. After the Asia War, Rabe would be made the German ambassador to China (a position he’d hold until his death on January 5, 1950).

Joseph Stalin, general secretary of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1951. While Soviet authorities consider the date of his death the official end of his government, western historians believe that since his heart attack in 1947, he was reduced to a mere vegetable and simply kept as figurhead by the Soviet Troika to legitimate its authority .

Lazar' Moiseevič Kaganovič (left), Vjačeslav Michajlovič Molotov (center) and Viktor Abakumov (right), the members of the so-called "Soviet Troika", that secretly ruled the Soviet Union from 1947 to 1951.
Formed after Stalin's heart attack, the Troika was ultimately responsable for the purge of at least 350 members of the soviet government who were considered a threath to either their power or to Stalinism in general.
The Troika didn't outlive Stalin for long, soon collapsing in infighting, with Molotov winning the struggle and officially becoming leader of the URSS in 1952.

Already working as Stalin's body double since 1942, Felix Dadaev's importance grew significantly under the Soviet Troika's rule: with the need to hide Stalin's condition from the general pubblic, the Troika started using him as replacent for the real Stalin in most pubblic occasions, very often having him pubblically endorsing the various political decisions taken by either Molotov, Malenkov or Kaganovich.
After Stalin's ultimate death, he managed to escape to the United States throught the Repubblic of Korea.

I editted my post ,replacing Malenkov with Viktor Abakumov ( in OTL minister of state security from 1946 to 1951). In 1947 Malenkov was simply too weak and didn't have realistic chance of grabbing power for himself.

A photo taken in 1950 during Molotov's (in)famous "Socialist Brotherhood" speech, where he openly denounced NATO's intervention in the Korean War as "an act of imperialism against the will of the Korean people" and declared that Soviet and Chinese forces would act in support of North Korea.

U.S troops during the landings on Creta (September 1943), the axis defence was furious. The island was pacified only in January 1944 and was used as a giant base for the allied landings on Greece and Yugoslavia in the spring 1944.
