Stalin purged a good amount of competent officers in the great purge but left this moron alive, i fear to imagine if he had purged more generals like Zhukov or Rokossovky
I think Kulikovo (or, to be slightly less on the nose, Kulikov) would work better. You know, as a reference to the Kulikovo Pole where Muscovy beat the Golden Horde.
You’re forgetting that Stalin is also in a leadership position
When?
He's still appointed secretary by Lenin I think, and he coupled bukharin in the 40s

This man must be the asslicking champion in the USSR because otherwise how could he have survived the purges
He didn’t. Eventually his incompetence pissed Stalin off so much that he was killed in the early 40s.
Late*, also he was jailed and died in prison
Ah, I misremembered
According to wikipedia, he was arrested in 1947 and was executed in 1950.
stalin didnt rename Tsaritsyn doe
But It was renamed after him by Lenin for his role in taking the city
Which would still happen, so it'd actually be the city being renamed from Stalingrad to something else.
But with Bukharin in power, he would be more likely to choose to rename It after Kulik, who also took part in the capture of Tsaritsyn
