Hmm, the page it links to says:
"If a page was recently created here, it may not yet be visible because of a delay in updating the database; wait a few minutes and try the purge function."
Hmm, the page it links to says:
Molotov won't exercise as much control over the Soviet State because he wasn't as politically astute or as sensitive as Stalin was. Molotov was the bureaucrat par excellence, which does not lend itself to attracting a highly devoted clique or terrifying people into submission.How much control would be be able to exercise over the Soviet State vs Stalin and how much support within the party would he have?
Probably not. The Purges were entirely of Stalin's making. They did spin out of control at the bottom, but he was responsible for them.Would we see a ( likely vastly more limited ) Molotov purge?
Probably not. Again, that was Stalin's idea. Molotov was very devoted to Marxist-Leninist ideology, whereas Stalin was almost unbelievably cynical and ruthlessly (often brutally) pragmatic.Would Molotov still cut a deal similar to Stalin with the nazis to expand Russia's territory? Or would he have taken a less expansionist course than Stalin did?
Could you be a little bit more clear on what you're asking? If by "Stalinist" you mean the economic system and the hyper-centralization, then yes.Would Molotov stay with his old Stalinist line in most issues or would he moderate with his old boss gone?
Without Stalin around, Molotov will probably keep up the popular front strategy and work his hardest to undermine and isolate Poland while at the same time staunchly opposing the Nazis in all things.
Yes, in general that is what I meant.Could you be a little bit more clear on what you're asking? If by "Stalinist" you mean the economic system and the hyper-centralization, then yes.
And if Molotov dies the USSR has a hammer shortage?With Stalin dead the USSR would suffer from a lack of Steel
