That could be interesting to play with though. But you are right, it’s probably for the best that Malenkov doesn’t gain the Premiership in that case, will be changing my vote to Voroshilov.

1) C.

Oh guys I just realized that by this time the red scare was going on in the USA and it’s only will be one year before it stops by 1954 so expect a lot of anti communism blowback from the people as their president was friends with Zhukov and that means to them he’s a COMMUNIST
The post of General Secretary was abandoned in 1932, as the new Party statute was adopted. Since then Stalin was not General Secretary, but "a" Secretary, one of several Secretaries of the Central Committee. Khrushchev had to reintroduce the post in 1953 (renamed "First Secretary"), as a counterbalance to Premier powers.

That'd be cool. Leftist unity and all that. Though I'm not sure how many syndicalist movements are around at that time. Might still be some reminanta of the CNT-FAI but event thats a fleeting doubt.
I like where this is headed. Zhukov wouldve been my vote for storylines sake. In reality though I doubt he'd be considered by the political elite of the party, fear of potential Bonapartism and all. Regardless he has the admiration (love?) of the entire Red Army at his disposal. With the political backing of the Central committee, this TL's USSR has quite the monster on its hands.
My prediction: This game's Zhukov eventually coups the government and goes on a conquest spree
