is an alternate reality really. In my opinion without the likes of Lenin and Trotsky the Stalinists (to give them their correct term rather than Communists) had no real intentions of winning the Cold War. Stalin only ever believed in Mother Russia and it's dictatorship, rather like Hitler believed in the dictatorship of Germany over the world, and like all dictatorships they either self destruct or the people overthrow the dictators.
