My brothers Keeper, an SI as the twin brother of Stalin (Reworked)

What are the chances that Uncle Joe will be chill after this?

Well, chiller, more relaxed. Not chill. We are talking about Joseph fking Stalin here. He'd still be paranoid, but I hope the future would be less bleak after his... what is the word? Catharsis?

I Honestly think he will be much less purgey than OTL. He'll still purge but it won't be nearly as ridiculous as it was… at least I hope so.

You know what would be interesting? If Mika gets involved in the Comintern, goes to China to help out Mao, becomes friends with Mao, and continues a good relationship without a Sino-Soviet Split. (Not purging scientists and doctors, saving Stalin, and him ruling longer would also deal with that.)

Another one would be giving the European Communist Countries a bit more autonomy, in terms of self-governance. This would help a lot for later when the market socialist reforms happen.
(Of course still monitor whether there are pro-west leaning cadres, and inform the Parties.)

Also let's hope Mika can save Bukharin, because without him the Soviet Union missed a lot of chances to have a China-style socialist market economy. While this would be a problem for the hardliners and ideological purists, Lenin himself created the foundation with the NEP so hopefully they can either be persuaded, and if not, sidelined for Party loyalists.
