War had already broken out by the time Germany stabbed the Soviets in the back. And in return Stalin marched 20 million of his own people to their deaths, and sent the remaining soldiers to labor camps in Siberia.

Furthermore, Turkey is still in NATO, almost all of Russia's former allies have switched sides or no longer exist, and Putin is struggling to hold on to a tiny slice of land in Ukraine, right on his front doorstep.

Outside of them taking the nuclear route, history will not repeat itself.
