Not sure, post-ww2 British migrants in Rhodesia quickly got the racist attitudes of the pre-existing urban population, I'm not sure about all post ww2 Migrants in South Africa, but I know that Portuguese Mozambican "retornados" (can they be called like that if they didn't return to portugal?) who went to South Africa after the carnation revolution were among the staunchest supporter of Apartheid and of the National Party in the 80s.

Tatarstan and Bashkorstan are entirely surrounded by Russian territory. Even if they're nominally independent, I imagine Russia will still have substantial influence on them.
I'm a little surprised there is so much Russian emigration to Rhodesia and South Africa, given how different the climate is.

Fair point, but remember, there were South African whites opposed to majority rule, like Harry Schwartz and Helen Suzman.
The new migrants just want a decent life where they can get it, and may not hold not of the hardcore racism of the Arikaner nationalists.
Great chapter; fun to see Malenkov being portrayed very differently from the inept depiction in Death of Stalin.
So are they joining the ITO or remaining non-aligned?
What a marvellous update!! Also Malenkov is the hero that the former USSR needed!!! Three cheers for Malenkov!!
Anyone else curious about the percentage of whites in Rhodesia/SA after the previously mentioned immigration boom? Also, curious about percentiles in Angola/Mozambique, and why Britain seems to be hanging onto a narrow strip of Cameroon in perpetuity.
Aside from that, I just know that evangelicals in the US - probably related to the Lebanon Lobby - are going to be using Malenkov's conversion, saving of Russia and nuclear dismantling as propaganda for years to come.

So the evangelicals will be endorsing Christian Socialism you think?
Speaking of which I wonder how the Orthodox will will be affected by a powerful socialist Russian Orthodox Church bursting onto the scene?
Not Sorairo, but in an earlier comment he stated that the white populations of Angola and Mozambique lay at 35% and 22%, respectively. That's after the boom of Brazilian immigration to those colonies, as well.

Less endorsing the ideology, more pointing at Malenkov's conversion to (a branch of) Christianity and rejection/saving Russia from dread communism as evidence of A) God's hand on earth and B) the validity of their own movement.
Thanks!

It really depends on what kind of ideology Malenkov pushes.
Will he be like Yeltsin, and let the bull loose? Will he be like Deng Xiaoping, and allow capitalism with red paint? Will he try and build Scandinavian social democracy?
I'm guessing that the white populations in those countries could get as high as 30-40% of the population.
OTL Kaliningrad Oblast and Poland/Ukraine/Belarus are what stand out to me.
So what countries are in the Roman Alliance at this point? I'll make a list of what I can think off the top of my head, and let me know if I forget any.
Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Morocco, Syria, Iraq, Nejaz, Iran, Arabia, China, Thailand, Venezuela, Paraguay, Argentina

Looking at that map I worry for Turkmenistan going RA.
Also I am thinking we could see "Russians Out" movements against Russian settler populations across the former USSR. The Baltics and Finland will likely stop short of official endorsement but see hate crimes and de facto persecutions from the new private sector; with ITO protecting them from any Russian threats and not getting too involved to stop the persecution. The RA may get an "In" with the Central Asian republics by supporting Russian expulsions as part of them joining the RA.
I also wonder if Moldova will follow Slovakia's example and try to join with Romania

Considering Turkmenistan IOTL had a crazy dictator who changed the months of the year and days of the week and forced people to read his horrible autobiography/manifesto, I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
I expected more breakup than OTL, but far less than what I expected...
And with the aformentioned last Communist states in the world, I don't see North China or Mongolia lasting long (or tragically, Tuva) The Chiang's might yet see a united Greater China before its all over. Korea and Ezo might, but that's a stretch, considering that with their nuclear benefactor gone, there's really nothing stopping China, Japan, or the RA in general from basically looking to exterminate Communism as an ideology or even as an idea (hard to kill ideas that may be.)
