Support The status quo was stable and is a good starting point for any future development including possible future split If we re going to split the article I can offer two possible ways we could split off Nazi occupation in 1941 1944 into an article of its own or we could split the Stalin s era of 1940 1953 from the 1953 1991 Both are reasonably well supported by available literature and are independent of each other I m unconvinced that split is needed but I think I can support either or both of these splits if the consensus arises naturally
