As it says on the tin...what if after Germany invades the USSR in June 1941, Stalin casts his lot in with the Allies fully? This would mean the USSR declares war on Japan in December 1941.

Personally, I can't see Stalin doing this, but let's say he does? I know the USSR has a decent army in the Soviet Far East in 1941 that was not withdrawn to fight the Nazis (as the Siberians were). Could they take on the Kwantung Army in 1941? How much would the shutting down of Vladivostok affect Lend Lease?
