Apologies if this has been done before but I've always wondered what the world would be like if Joseph Stalin lived longer. It's perfectly possible that if he abstained from smoking and drinking and pursued a healthier lifestyle throughout his life. He could have lived up to 1960, but maybe 1970.

Would this make a difference in the Sino-soviet split? Would that have happened at all with Stalin living longer? Stalin may have even purged Khrushchev and had his successor be just as brutal as him.

Another point of interest would be the Cuban Missile Crisis? Would Stalin let it boil over into war or would he follow the same route as reality? Would the Americans back down?
