If Stalin were to suddenly die sometime after the start of WW2 but before 1941 would the Soviet Union have degenerated into civil war? I have no idea what the factions of power blocs of the Soviet regime of the time were like, other than everything revolved around The Boss, so if he died would the resulting race for power turn into an open civil war? Would Trotsky still have enough support to make a return?
