Forum:Reformed Imperial Russia

What would the circumstances be to prevent Stalin's rise? Or if that's not possible, Stalin's assassination?

If Stalin is done away with (in both senses), I'm pretty sure Trotsky would've become Premier, President or whatever the top post in the Soviet republics was after Lenin's death. I also know that both Lenin and Trotsky were opposed to the creation of the USSR, so perhaps it would stay as a bunch of independent nations.
