WI; Lavrenty Beria becomes leader of the Soviet Union?

Otl answered it for us...Khrushev
Khrushchev only got where he was because Stalin liked him and because he was smart enough to sway everyone over. By 1945, Khrushchev assuming Stalin dies around December, simply doesn't have the influence to get into a position of power. He was only put into a position where he could get power by Stalin himself in 1949, when he was recalled to Moscow and given increasing control over the Politburo as Stalin began to age and cede more and more control over the country.
