There's always the opposite possibility: Stalin says the Allies have Hitler, plants false trails of human remains evidence, ergo Hitler was in the USSR, not North or South America. My hunch is this isn't true though. If he escaped he went west.
As for why now, I have no idea, is it really now? People have been talking about his survival since 1945, trying to track down leads and witnesses. The shockumentary I happened to catch was on Nat Geo or one of those channels, and seemed to be at least a few years old. They showed the skull fragment in Moscow. They didn't appear to have any scientists or forensics experts with the crew. They didn't question its authenticity per se, although they did present some of the anomalies and questions surrounding the official story.
I have noticed there is a new effort coming out of Russia to rehabilitate Stalin once again. The latest initiative seems to be only a few months old.
I have a collection of FOI docs that come from the CIA and touch on Project Paperclip. A bunch of it is some kind of anniversary celebration document from the German BND translated to English and talks about Gehlen a lot. There are about 30 of these PDFs, they're small, but I'm not sure where to put them, they're not entirely on topic and there are too many of the critters. If anyone wants them, let me know.
