Yeah, that's true. Post-1953 USSR graduated from totalitarian to a merely suffocatingly authoritarian murderous impoverished shithole.

A surviving modern-day USSR would just be a gigantic Belarus. Its economic model would arguably ben even weaker and less robust than OTL, since it would combine inane socialist planned economic policies with the kleptocratic thugocracy of today. There's 0 reason to believe their shambolic...

Wallacebros, we are SO back.

Philly, Wilmington, Baltimore, Pittsburgh AND Buffalo all contained within a single state? Truly a place worse than death.

Apparently, it was a real & constant fear of the British back in the Empire days. Hence the Great Game.

I'm in absolute awe at the sheer size of that *Soviet Union. Also, Russian Northern India as seen here and in Tony Jone's Puritan World should be an althistory trope.

Regarding the original PoD, did Hitler's decision to pretty much let Italy hang out to dry at North Africa in order to concentrate on Fall Blau cause any (minor) rift between Berlin and Rome? Mussolini had invested quite a bit in his Mediterranean-spanning 2nd Roman Empire, after all.

Speaking of wealth, what's China's economy is run like? We know that the Cabal is -in terms of politics- a different, more extreme breed than either KMT or Maoists (though it contains elements of both) but little to no info has been given in regards to their financials. Are they this world's...

On a second thought, Greece alone is easy mode. How about Greece, Turkey AND Italy all going hardcore Stalinist red?

I wonder if a Red Greece would result in the USSR putting more resources into developing a proper blue navy, at least as far as the Med is concerned. Too many useful naval bases, warm water ports and seafaring experience in Greece to let it go to waste.

Speaking of former Yugoslavia, were Tito and his partisans still kickin' by the time Germany disintegrated or did their luck finally run out sometime in the mid-40s?

Pardon me if this has been answered already, Calbear, I can't help but wonder, did Greece and its monuments survive the Great Nazi Burn? Given the Germans explicitly went out of their way to spitefully destroy European cultural & historical heritage as they fell, you'd think places like the...

There's something deeply cursed about Russian Greece.

Anyone kind enough to point me out to a recent world map (if any) of this excellent TL? I've been scanning both this and the previous thread for some time now but I can't seem to find anything.

Mussolini seeing the light after being saved from an assassination attempt by a Jewish blackshirt, standing up to Hitler, fighting (and winning!) with the Allies against Nazism, single-handedly kickstarting a New Roman Empire in Eastern Med & Africa, helping bring down world communism and even...
