As you know Stalin died on March 5th 1953. We can speculate about wether or not he was murdered or really died of a stroke. What if the old bastard had liveduntil 1963/1964ish by which time he would have been 85? How much will this effect the USSR. Will it be positive or negative. Will the USSR collapse earlier or later? I assume that with a Stalinist USSR, the Sino-Soviet split might not occur since Mao respected Stalin. Would Stalin also do something like the Cuban missile crisis and would he back down like Kruschev did or would he go for war figuring that he's got nothing to lose (he ain't getting any younger after all)?
