[quote=Maxwell500] That would be lovely, all depends on the month we start I guess, I mean the leading theory is that Beria poisoned him. But I guess if he is dead you could still maintain Stalinism by having Molotov clutch the leadership, or alternatively you could make things really interesting and have Beria take power...it'd be hard with the latter, but I mean if he moved quickly with the NKVD against individuals such as Khrushchev, Molotov & Zhukov then he has a shot. [/quote] There's also a theory that Tito poisoned him, lol. It seems people like this theory about Stalin being poisoned. I [personally think it was possible, but there's really little proof for it. For the sake of RP though I might still retain that he was poisoned if I decide to go the Beria route. Maybe he can stage a coup within the party. Also, I suppose I should choose a month. I want January since it's a chance to start things fresh for a new year.
