What would the USSR be like if Nikolai Bukharin won the Leadership contest after Lenin died? What kind of POD(s) would we need to help him achieve this?
To list his positives, he was very popular with the members of the Politburo. He was skilled at administration, and was described by Lenin as 'the Golden Boy' of the party. He became editor of Pravda in 1924, thus giving him a large chunk of the Soviet infromation machine. However, even with all this helping him, we need a big POD for him to beat Stalin and Trotsky.
