Description of issue
No checks for Ideology

Game Version
1.11.x

Enabled DLC


Do you have mods enabled?
No

Description
Beria and Kerensky can get Stalin's traits via cheesing because there isn't an ideology check for the starter focus "Path of Marxism and Lenin"

See these Reddit post for further information and results of this non-check:

https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4/comments/r15khd
https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4/comments/r11131
Steps to Reproduce
For Beryia:

1) Start off going down the Soviet Opposition (It doesn't matter if its left or right)
2) Intentionally lose the Civil War
3) Get to the traits at the bottom and bam!
I believe that this may have already been fixed, but would like to note that it can also be down for Kerensky as well

For Kerensky:

1) Start a war with a democratic nation, while going down the Stalinist branch
2) Deliberately capitulate/lose to them
3) Pray to RNGesus that they puppet you and don't annex you
4) If you're still alive, continue with Kerensky to Stalin's traits
5) Boom Kerensky is a god-tier leader

I believe it's fixed in 1.11.4 Beta Patch

- Beriya is not Stalin, therefore he can no longer access Stalin's Cult of Personality.
