Speaking of Pushkingrad would its government give lot of support for revivng of Old Prussian language? In OTL there is some attempts but ITTL it might be even more popular when people want distanse themselves from Russian past.
Is more likely the UN decides that they don't need five permanent members and abolishes the Russian seat.I think Pushkingrad will keep Russia's permanent seat in the UN for as long as possible. I do not think Siberia will get it. Assuming Lebed does not die early like IOTL, Siberia will probably collapse. If Pushkingrad does ever give up its permanent seat UN seat, it would probably go to India, Japan, or Brazil.

Well, the inhabitants of the city raised a "Three Briefcases Statue" to commemorate Gaidar's act of bribery with national emblems of Russia emerging from said briefcases (the double-headed eagle, a bear's paw, and a Chamomile flower), so I imagine the city to be divided between those who seek to distance themselves from Russia via either reviving Old Prussian culture or emphasizing the German origins of the city and those who view themselves as carrying Russia with their city like how the Byzantines carried Rome with them in Constantinople, with the latter erecting the Three Briefcases Statue.Speaking of Pushkingrad would its government give lot of support for revivng of Old Prussian language?

I think the UNSC should add Japan, Brazil, India, Germany, Spain, and Italy as well as Canada and Egypt.I think Pushkingrad will keep Russia's permanent seat in the UN for as long as possible.

Why?Speaking of Pushkingrad would its government give lot of support for revivng of Old Prussian language? In OTL there is some attempts but ITTL it might be even more popular when people want distanse themselves from Russian past.
Or what about a Pushkingrad dialect of the Russian language influenced with more German, Polish, Lithuanian, and Swedish loanwords as they try to distance themselves from a much tainted past?Why?
The Old Prussian language dies a long time ago why they want to push it since they want to preserve their culture more than anyone in Russian diaspora since the War of the 1990s
Well I do get why they want to distance themselves from the Raidcal Nashist but really changed the language since Russia is already dead and while yes it will be anti-russia sentiment but would you want to preserve your culture since your motherland is dead?Or what about a Pushkingrad dialect of the Russian language influenced with more German, Polish, Lithuanian, and Swedish loanwords as they try to distance themselves from a much tainted past?
Komi might have to have a name change if the manga/light novel is still made.I just realised that Rokhlin won't be able to bring Komi the hundred friends that he wished for it.
I fear that the "hundred friends" premise will be done away as well.Komi might have to have a name change if the manga/light novel is still made.
Keep current politics in Chat.There is something horribly astonishing about this TL: all of the perfidious characters portraited are real and enjoy Wide popularity in OTL Russia: Barkashov, for instance is considered a "well respected" politician in Russia, just ti name one.
Alksnis actually covers some prestigious institutional role; the same applies to Dugin, likely the most delirious of the fold.
The fact that in today's Russia openly racist, xenophobic, if not covertly genocidal rhetorics are widespread in mainstream media and enjoy wide support among ample strata of Russian society should have us all think, and posits a difficult dilemma.
Our own wide-mindedness forces us to distunguish between the authoritarian Russian regime, which we willfully disdain and the Russian population at large.
But when you find out they Putin and his cronies enjoy wide support from the population, should we not condemn the Russian people as a whole, just as we condemned the German people back in 1945 for having given the nazis their hearts and minds?
This is what recently has me wondering.
PS one bright side ti this TL is that it enticed me to investigate about people like Dugin and Barkashov which I previously knew very little about; this, in turn, allowed me to shut the fu**ing mouth of some pro-Putin it's-all-the-west-fault people I know
Why not just give the seat to India?I think Pushkingrad will keep Russia's permanent seat in the UN for as long as possible. I do not think Siberia will get it.

And of course, the implications of the April 10th nuclear attack would mean the plans for the reconstruction & reopening of the Bataan nuclear power plant will be delayed and the economic crisis would make Fidel V. Ramos unpopular prior to the upcoming 1998 Philippine presidential election.
Probably for various reasons that can be summed up as:Why not just give the seat to India?
Especially as India had the dubious distinction of being the only non-Russian nuclear power who did not attend the conference on how to deal with the impending threat of nuclear war.Which means (giving the premise to the logical end) putting itself on a collision course very quickly with India when the West starts demanding India dismantle its nuclear program under threat of invasion and occupation if they don't comply and India says "no".
