How can we get it so the Soviets actually make a serious attempt to use genetic engineering to create a new species or subspecies of humanity that would be more amenable to Communism?
I'm thinking more group-oriented, less individualistic, and, if you really want to push it, perhaps the ability to form a hive mind in large enough groups.
The only idea I've got for it is to get rid of Lysenkoism, since that hobbled Soviet genetic science (including germ-warfare research) for years.
