The Danish island of Bornholm was controlled by the Soviet Union from 1945 to 1946.

What if the Soviets don't hand the island back to Denmark and either:

-incorporate it into the USSR as part of the RSFSR
-hand it over to Poland
-or create a puppet state on Bornholm called the "People's Republic of Denmark" or something like that.

I presume this would lead to an earlier deterioration in relations between the Soviets and the Western Allies. What other impacts would it have?
