Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire

[Gian]

Welcome back.

 

[MERRICA]

Welcome back,sir. Welcome back.

 

[St. Just]

Welcome back -- so good to see it continue!

 

[Lost Freeway]

Awesome.

Welcome back. So are you going to bring us up to date on the post-Zhirinovsky world?

 

[James G]

Fantastic return!

I should say that when I read this TL back in the day - it feels so long ago - I was inspired by it for my own then TL. I used Lebed and Putin both against each other in that one and will be doing that again in my current one soon enough. Your take on them both was far more detailed than mine but the inspiration was there.

Spoils below! Presidential elections for the United States in Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire.

Edit: some corrections made, more comments always welcome.

You made a mistake with the 2000 election. Ralph Nader got 5 percent, and Gore won Tennessee, Missouri, and Michigan, but lost Wisconsin, Nevada, and New Hampshire.

Thanks. I'll need to get around to fixing that.

I'd post up the Russian National Anthem, but...I don't think it was ever mentioned in the TL what the UIS' anthem was? Did they keep the old Soviet melody with new words, or get something new?

Anyway, in lieu of that...

The old East German national anthem could be used (after of course getting Russified). The tune is amazing and the lyrics are already non-communist/generic.

Alternatively, this could be used (after re-wording):

It'll be something Russian -- maybe Bozhe Tsarye Khrani reworded, maybe the USSR anthem reworded, maybe Patriocheskya Pesnya, maybe Nasha Derzhava

Welcome back, Pellegrino! I read through this TL in your absence and it became one of my favourites on the site. I'm excited to see it continue!

Perhaps some of these Russian songs:

Oh my goodness . . . I read this back when I was a lurker, and it was amazing. Now it's coming back? Consider me in

 

[Alex1guy]

HE's BACK!!!

Somehow our world has managed to be madder than yours in your absence, but let's see what you've got!

This TL is amazing. It served as one the inspirations and guides for the writing of my book. Thank you for the great story!

 

[Pellegrino]

I know it's a pain in the ass, but if you could threadmark the whole story that would be wonderful.

I'll work on it. It will be a time consuming process but I am trying to clean up the thread as well. I noticed that since it moved over to this new format the text is a lot smaller as well.

Thanks Konrad! Look forward to starting it back up again! I just hope I don't Phantom Menace this TL.
