EDIT: Fuck... didn't realise the many other threads like this.
Was there any way that Germany could have become Communist before WW2? Would there have even been a war? Perhaps Hitler would have been more interested in siding with Communism if he passed art school? Or if he returned to Vienna and there had been a Communist uprising? Or the Communist Party of Germany goes without Hitler and wins over Nazi Germany?
As for a fascist Russia... hmmm...
AFAIK The developing Soviet government was on the brink by around 1918; the Cheka was formed to fight the emergent counterrevolution, which was bolstered by foreign support primarily from the British who had agents operating within the British Embassy.
Cromie favoured a military dictatorship or a restored Czarist monarchy and, prior to the PCheka raid on the British Embassy, he was plotting with domestic counterrevolutionaries.
Maybe Moscow and Petrograd would be open to the Whites if the Soviet power collapses?
