The failure of OP Barbarossa is partially due to the genocidal policies of the Nazis against the locals.
However, anti-Slavism was not always part of Nazi ideology.
In fact, before the Munich Putsch, White Russian emigres were some of the Nazi Party's donors and allies.
Max von Schuebner Richter, a Baltic German, Nazi Party treasurer and one of Hitler's close friends, was instrumental in making connection for the Nazi Party with these White Russians.
Had he not been killed in the Putsch (Goering dies instead because he will ruin the Luftwaffe), anti-Slavism would not have been a part of Nazi ideology and the Nazis would have the support of White Russian emigres during OP Barbarossa.
Among the changes would be large numbers of Cossacks going over to the German side; a large anti-partisan force that can handle the Soviet partisans that arise in the occupied territories.
Another major change would be the use of "reliable" Red Army PoWs to farm the newly captured territory, change the Soviet railway to standard gauge, and perform general labor for the Germans. Any communists (NKVD, commissars, etc.) would still be executed.
