Yes. I mean Stalin was awful and the USSR deserves its reputation but we did the right thing first with Lend Lease then fighting the Nazis. And for sure, there would have been no Cold War with the Nazis. The Soviets to their credit had much more pragmatic leaders.

Ever read Robert Harris’ Archangel? It’s alternative historical fiction (what would have happened if….). Archangel is a re-imagining of post-Soviet Union Russia in the ‘90’s.

In the same vein, Fatherland is Harris’ reimagining of WWII if the Nazis had won. Both are pretty good.
