  1. Better Russian economy post-1991

    Same could be said for Latin or Greek both taught at my school along side German French and Spanish I grant you your points .. And agree but also think that it's part of the larger issues that of course have been hacked to death .. Culturally we are very similar .. Scientifically the...
  2. Better Russian economy post-1991

    Being from America I can attest russian is not and or was not a language option at most high schools .. And many universities for that matter .. Actually I was paid a visit by certain people after becoming angry they offered in the catalog but not in reality EVER the russian course at our...
  3. Better Russian economy post-1991

    I'm not saying the system was roses before .. It went under for a reason.. Communism doesn't work if everyone doesn't play the same game .. And it sure doesn't work with massive corruption and graft .. And it really really really really doesn't work in reality outside of a closed system ...
  4. Better Russian economy post-1991

    You sir win a Cuppie doll... Hence why only outside intervention was going to help or they needed one last 5 year transition plan .. Yes black market was huge toward the end .. Russia needed time .. And the only way that would happen is again with help from the west .. And they honestly...
  5. Better Russian economy post-1991

    Get Yeltsin to aa classes .. Avoid the Cronisim and the seedy dark mafia that ran rampant ... Honestly .. If the west would have come honest And willing to stabilize and help Russia through the night .. It could have been much better .. However the west suffered from victors disease and...
  6. TLIAW - Baseball's All About Timing - Browns to Milwaukee, Mays, Aaron swap teams

    Dude..my braves ..Mehta have the you done :eek: Couldn't they just be the Baltimore Braves Good start .. I wish the Braves.. Dodgers and Giants and senators stayed put where they belonged .. It's funny and sad.. Browns went to Baltimore .. Turned into a real team almost over night...
  7. AHC: Austria and Russia switch sides

    Petrograd/Moscow. Two capitols ... Still while they might not have a choice .. Doesn't mean they are going to sit and let them continue to encroach west .. Especially England .. Exactly .. And they even made concessions in our timeline to try to keep polish nationalism in check
  8. Can America turn fascist during the Great Depression?

    Actually I said it was possible first :p
  9. Delayed ww1

    Very true .. Both willy and Nikki were both quite low esteemed .. Not king material and let their general staffs make too many decisions with disastrous effects. Both were autocratic and spoiled and felt it their God given right to be ... Which is a recipie for disaster if they are not even...
  10. AHC: Austria and Russia switch sides

    Europe doesn't want a bigger Russia those lands are not russian lands or Russian people and I doubt even they want to be ruled by Moscow .. I could see Austria Hungary just divorcing .. And then maybe parts absorbed to Germany .. But Hungary would retain large portions of what was left ...
  11. Can America turn fascist during the Great Depression?

    I'm not so sure of that .. Americans are generally indifferent and during the depression things were more localized vs central control .. In today's age things could be more easily manipulated to create such a state of affairs .. And when people notice what's up its too late .. It's not...
  12. Can America turn fascist during the Great Depression?

    Also no military industrial complex that is a overly large part of the budget... Nationalized industry was also not an in vogue thing... I could see a more nationalist isolationist America, more concerned with Monroe policies .. Does that make one fascist? I am not even sure what...
  13. WI No Horses - Stalin dies in '45?

    I was going to mention zhdanov .. However I think he will have an accident .. He would also be a bad choice historically as the man was not playing with a full deck by 1945 ... I agree Beria has the socialist retirement package
  14. WI No Horses - Stalin dies in '45?

    God you just made Stalin a martyr dying on a white horse during victory parade .. Once the shock wore off .. Zhukov .. Malenkov .. Khrushchev .. ( though not sure he was as strong at that point) I would say Malenkov .. Beria .. He goes into retirement pretty quick.. Weeks .. 1945...
  15. Delayed ww1

    You have to get to ww1 first .. No ww1 .. No ww2 Technology will be hampered by no ww1 .. Delay it and again.. It won't happen or look the way it did. Germany won't attack if it knows it will loose in doing so. And England won't back Russia as an aggressor .. Or France for that matter ...
  16. Delayed ww1

    I agree with this.. No way in h e double hockey sticks do they get to 1945 levels .. How? I mean Stalin had to kill everyone and the world had to have a world war for it to happen... If the war is postponed .. I don't see a war happening .. Everyone continues to slice out regions of...
  17. WI : Desperate Quest for a new Home (New Byzantine Homeland / Byzantine New World)

    Kyiv, Moscow ... I would think if anything they pack their bags and or make something work between one if them as th protectors of the holy city of Constantinople ... Going west .. Hmm they wind up In North Africa ... Canaries .. Varna is too late .. What do they have left? IF they made...

  19. AHC: Have Crimea return to Russia WHILE the USSR is STILL Around

    I see no reason why while the soviet union existed that administration couldn't be transferred back. however it doesnt make sense as ITS ALL THE SOVIET UNION.. and for administrative purposes just makes sense. Crimea is rather diverse and also home to the Russian Black sea Fleet. This...
  20. WI: FDR lives past April 1945 and finsihes his 4th term?

    Actually .. With fdr still alive maybe the Cold War doesn't get so cold? If Ike follows again maybe it doesn't get so cold .. Being right after the war and all. Fdr was frail.. But wasn't a push over .. And he garnered respect
