My brothers keeper, an OC/SI as the twin of Stalin

I personally like flash forwards, get me curious about future Russia
 
If he's going for a full split between church and state he can pull talent that would ignored or discrimination against in their country of birth. Bringing religious, racial and sexual minorities grants the future Soviet a workforce that is grateful to be there
 
Mikheil actually has turned his minders into assets simply from trusting them always acting out his orders he can explain to Lenin as a collar he willingly puts on while making enough rope for his brother Stalin to come from outside then untie any knots MIkheil makes on his potential Noose.
 
Oh fuck now there's always going to be that one intrusive thought in his family's thoughts Did he Intentionally make Aleksandra a human shield.
 
I honestly should have guess it from the start. It's not an Alenco fic if the MC doesn't lose the love of their life in one way or another, which then change their decline towards insanity from a steady fall to a nosedive. Here's to hoping that Mikhail would atleast still be some what of a good father for his kids and nephew

Probably. This showed him his family is vulnerable so he'll be paranoid about losing them next.
 
Thanks for the chapter, wordsmith.

Goddamit Makarov, you were supposed to make it so Stalin wouldn't purge everyone, not become him!
Nah nah. Just as usual for Russia, it will get worse before it could go any better (seemingly). Then, after reaching the mythical 'better', Russia will go off the cliff, going way, way worse.
We will stop seeing Mikheil doing casual purge from now on. He will be going for ranked purge competition with Stalin, Mao, and the worst of them.
 
The leadership is going to be reevaluating Mikheils usefulness and decisions now that he's suffering from grief shortening the usual rope he has probably mid way through Ukraine
Mikheil is still alive in the 1937 Spanish Civil War as a Field Marshal so he 'recovered' somewhat....probably.
 
Funny and better than the Mussolini one, not sure if if it's natural improvement or did you listen to advice.
There's less repetition, but still some. For example, in the early chaps SI kept listing the books he reads, I think he did it 3 times in a single chapter.

There's less song references, but ideally there should be none or counted on fingers...
Still no one cares about your music taste, even if we like it, it's pointless.
And realistically, there's no way SI would remember lyrics of dozens of songs, decades after hearing them last. Maybe if he wrote them down when he was 3-5, but he didn't.

I like the future excerpts the most, and looking forward to the revolution's end, so we can move to the reforms and building.
 
Since the Start of Stalin's rule,
Now this is a loaded statement for me as with no mention of year it could be years after someone else besides Lenin and go vastly differently then IRL

Wonder what the rest of the party thinks of Mikeheil tossing Revolutionary guards at them and their families for protection is it good or bad that they are now within purge radius for their protection.
 
I need a different perspective of Mikail from the angle of other nations or from the opposite side or from the angle of the people.
That will come, the problem in the Mussolini fic was it was repetitive bunch of talks going welp we can't do anything about that bastard.

The problem now is it seems like the central commitee is not doing anything, everything is done by SI. We know it isn't so, though he clearly is the most important, but there is a lack of perspective as it's only the SI talking and others reacting.

There's also a couple missing scenes. The Kornilev's defeat was just implied, never shown or explained, felt like I missed a chap.
Then the falling out with Trostsky. One chapter MC says to Stalin, we'll be great friends or I'll have to kill him. The next chap, he keeps dissing him in the commitee meetings.

It's implied that Trotsky proved too ideological and inflexible, but there wasn't a transition, or MC talking with Stalin where they decided to go against Trotsky.
