    Soviets in the Sun: A Timeline

    Should Spain avoid getting targeted for invasion by the Axis, will discussions on TTL's AH.com pertaining to the possibility have a status akin to that of the Unmentionable Sea Mammal? I mean, any attempt by the German and Italian Fascists to invade Red Spain will surely invite a response from...

    Soviets in the Sun: A Timeline

    Even if that's the case, chances are he'll be more of a Lenin-type figure to Red Spain considering the life span on that stamp - assuming that Red Spain somehow survives WWII.

    AHC: Large visible minority in Japan

    A mere 12-15 years after the Russo-Japanese War? Not gonna happen. And even in the Cold War, what reasons would Soviet dissidents have to go to Japan, when they can go to much more established Russian expat communities in America and Western Europe? To add to the earlier suggestion regarding...

    The Great Crusade (Reds! Part 3)

    Libertad, I honestly don't mind your continued presence in this thread. Just a few bits of thought regarding the current point of the story: -Where on the Eastern Front will the bulk of American troops be sent initially? -What's the current state of affairs on the Iberian Peninsula...

    Most Oppressive/Progressive State Possible?

    To respond to the first point: Albania could potentially fill that role, if Hoxha's regime remains in power after the rest of the M-L nations in Eastern Europe fall. It could've happened, given how isolated Albania became under Hoxha (first by cutting ties w/ Yugoslavia, then cutting ties w/ the...

    Cold War Tropes

    -alternate Cold War divisions of countries, most frequently: North/South Italy, East/West Austria, North/South Japan. -Cuba and only Cuba can successfully ally w/ the USSR, while all other Latin American countries remain stuck with US puppets/allies --and even if they have pro-Soviet...

    Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire

    So essentially, the Republic of Dubai's status is more like that of Transnistria, S. Ossetia and Abkhazia than that of Israel. Still, it's amazing that the now fiercely anti-communist UIS essentially supported a revolution that would've resulted in another South Yemen in a different (Soviet...

    Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire

    Besides, I doubt that the Islamic Republic would actively consider cooperating w/ the UIS after what happened to Azerbaijan at the start of TTL.

    Your favorite unfinished alternate history timelines

    Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline: Part 1, Part 1 Revised, Part 2, and Part 3 - by Jello_Biafra. -I started lurking on this site around mid-to-late 2011, around the time Occupy Wall Street took off. Upon reading this TL in the midst of that movement (which I participated in partly), my political...

    Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire

    Wow!!! That update actually had quite a positive vibe - up until Gopi mentions what he learned in Africa. That, and also the fact that the Republic of Dubai is basically Israel 2.0 - with the only real difference being that it's dominated by South and East Asian people (who are mostly Hindu...

    Red Soil: A Socialist TL

    Wow, a seven-year-long Great War? Sounds to me like Red October hasn't happened ITTL - not yet, anyway. Nonetheless, subscribed.

    2 North Korea WI's

    I'd think Psy's hit single would be "Pyongyang Style", since Gangnam is a high-class neighborhood in Seoul - which probably wouldn't be nearly as prominent in a N. Korea victory scenario. For all we know, a Korea unified under the Pyongyang regime might not even be as militaristic and...

    President Ahn and the Provisional Government: a Far East Timeline

    Interesting - we don't have too many TLs focused on Asia, so if this one is further developed, it'll certainly be a welcome addition to the site. Consider me subscribed. As for TTL's events so far: Even with Ahn Chang-ho in charge, the Korean provisional government's alignment with the...

    Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire

    The in-game POD for TTL's CoD: MW series would probably revolve around the Lebed regime collapsing and getting taken over by pro-Zhirinovsky ultranationalists. So, not that different from the OTL games, except that the UIS still has most of the other former Soviet republics under its control.

    100 Years of a Communist USSR (Stalin lives three more years)

    Welcome to AH.com! OK, just read through your first two posts, and there's just so much to take in that I'll save the bulk of my initial thoughts for a later post. But, just one bit of friendly advice: Try not to get too hung up on conspiracy theories, as they're frowned upon on this site.

    Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire

    Nice to see that you've once again added yet another POD that'll generate loads of discussion on TTL's AH.com. I still stand by my earlier suggestion in regards to that matter. President John F. Kennedy Jr? Wow, wasn't expecting something like that. Also, the reactions to his brief stop at...

    WI: USSR progressive on homosexuality?

    Nothing I've read from him/on him has indicated such. Besides, I don't really see Trotsky being an effective Soviet leader. Nonetheless, it'd definitely help if there was different post-Lenin leadership, something which constitutes an AHC that involves a lot more than just sticking a...

    AHC : make Mad Max real

    Since the Mad Max movies are set in 1980's Australia (haven't seen 'em in a while), I think a POD closest to the events of the movies would be: Able Archer 83 degenerating into World War 3.

    Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire

    Now that subject could make for an update of its own. I'd imagine that with the Kosovo Missile Crisis and all the other bouts of chaos the UIS/Zhirinovsky/Lebed is responsible for, doomsday mentality must've had an explosion even greater than OTL. The 90's are often remembered as a time when...
