reverse cold war

Lets say the Cold War was reversed, America is a Totalitarian Communist superpower, Russia is a democracy, beacon of Capitalism and leader of the free world, The western bloc was Communist puppet states controlled by the USSA and the Eastern bloc was free democratic allies of the Russian...

The main point of divergence being no 1917 October revolution, how can we have Russia become a stable democracy and the United States into a totalitarian dictatorship? What economic system are the two governments going to run with? After what do the next 70 years look like up to 1991?

In OTL the Cold War was a stand off between two superpowers the Socialist totalitarian “Union of Socialist Syndicates of America” leading the 3rd International against the Capitalist Democratic “Russian Empire” leading the Eurasian Treaty Organization Ending in 2005 after the Collapse of the...

Fairly simple in OTL the cold war was a long stand off between the Russian Empire and the Union of Socialist American States lasting from 1945 to 2000 following the dissolution of the USAS. So how could we change the cold war to where Russia is the one that goes socialist while America remains...

Lets just say the Cold War was reversed where the Bolshevik revolution fails in Russia, but there is also an attempt to over throw the United States government and turn it Communist and they succeed. Now in my version of a reverse Cold War, China and Japan would've switched roles with a civil...

This is just a rewrite of the history of America playing role of the Soviet Union In the world of a Reverse Cold War where the Bolshevik revolution fails in Russia, and Russia stays a monarchy and keeps Capitalism. But the Tsarist Autocracy is abolished and Russia becomes a Constitutional...

THE IRON CURTAIN Speaking before Petrograd University in 1946, Winston Churchill first used the phrase "Iron Curtain" to describe what at that time was already becoming readily apparent: the division of Europe following the conflagration of the Second World War into an communist-dominated West...

IOTL, the Cold War was a worldwide standoff between the zealously socialistic People's States of America and the ultra-capitalistic Russian Empire as they built up nuclear arsenals, instigated proxy wars, and masterminded general geopolitical mayhem in order to spread their respective political...

So, basically, our objective here is to create a situation similar to the cold war, but reversed, with a democratic Russia facing off against a totalitarian United States. You might've seen these threads before. However, here's a bit of a twist on it: so long as Russia is democratic and the...

If you've kept up with my posts, you'll know that I've started a few Reverse Cold War threads; that is, a global standoff that takes place between a communist America and a capitalist Russia. Most of the approaches on this site, at least to me, seem to rely on rather doubtful post-1900 PODs...

Every Reverse Cold War scenario that I've seen features one main, overriding theme: a communist United States combating a capitalist Russia in a global, decades-long standoff marked by proxy wars, realpolitik, and an apocalyptic nuclear arms race--all along the lines of OTL's Cold War. While...

The more I read about the various reverse Cold War scenarios, with a communist US and a capitalist Russia, I find myself wondering how nations that went in the opposite direction would differ from OTL. I haven’t seen very detailed, in-depth or extensive overviews of the hypothetical economies...

You're challenge here is to create a reverse Cold War where the Americans are democratic and the Russians are a communist dictatorship. Bonus points if instead of just keeping the USA alive there's still a pan-Anglo Saxon movement like in OTL. OOC: The one rule I'll have for this DBWI is that...

I will hereby continue the lovely, Turtledove nominated timeline Hammer's, Sickle's and Mushroom Clouds: The Story of the Reverse Cold War by @Kaiser K who sadly passed away in February 2016. After the actual Reverse Cold War, @TPL99 and then me, at that time with permission by Kaiser K, took...
