Yes, during the earliest phases of the RSFSR, it leadership attempted to eliminate all forms of private property, including personal property, they attempted to manage the countries agriculture and critical industries through special worker's committees (which were actually run by intellectuals who didn't understand the projects they were overseeing), and they used brutal police state tactics to silence any and all criticism. Furthermore, the Trotskyist regime ruling the RSFSR believed that peaceful coexistence with the West was absolutely impossible, and that rather than improving the lives of the people living within the RSFSR, the party leadership felt that their primary goal was to export global revolution as quickly, and as violently as possible. I think that life inside the RSFSR would have been similar to life in the nation state of Eurasia found in the Novel 1984. Eventually, however, the Trotskyists have to adopt bureaucratic government strategies to effectively govern their huge country, and this creates a problem as a new privilaged class of government worker is created. One on hand the regime claims that all workers are equal, but anyone with eyes can see the growing number of government bureaucrats who can afford their own private automobiles and private apartments. Things finally reach a head in 1985 when a group of Leninists finally overthrow the Trotskysists and declare a new government. I think that by this time the Leninist would have been more level headed, and perhaps they may have eventually the type of country which the Mikhail Gorbachev of our timeline was envisioning when he launched his glasnost campaign in the late 1980s. I was imagining that Russia would remain a Marxist state until well after the turn of the century, but it would be a kinder gentler form of Marxism than ever existed in our timeline. Meanwhile, things go from bad to worse in China as the Gang of Four take complete control of the government following Mao's death, and instead of experiencing political reforms as it did in our timeline, China experiences several more decades of Cultural Revolution.
