Stalin died a day before announcing his successor Pomorenko, he never had the oppertunity to as he died under suspicious circumstances without autopsy with claim of a stroke by the zinovievists/trotskyists/khurshevites and Pomorenko was consistently demoted until he became the soviet ambassador to Nepal.
What if stalin died 2 days later and announced that Pomorenko is his preferred successor which would sway the soviet congress and the party into electing him next. There were plans for a 1952 purge to get rid of khruschov his lot and some remaining trotskyites so thats how he lived.
So the year is 1953 and stalin has died; Pomorenko is now the Premier of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. What does his reign look like? (He lives until 1984)
