So I've been looking into the Russian civil war a lot recently, and one thing that I have found extremely interesting is the Anarchist Black Army in Ukraine, and the "free territory" they established. I actually plan to write a timeline about them surviving, and have been doing research on the...

AHC: Ukraine Joins NATO before 2014 (POD of 1991) In this Alternate History Challenge you have to get Ukraine into NATO before the Russians can Intervene in Ukraine and take Crimea in 2014. Is this possible with a Pod of 1991 or is it ASB? How will you get Ukraine into NATO? How will Ukraine...

Here is something from October 2016: As you can guess Mr. Degtyarev statement was met with much jokes on the Eastern European side of the internet. At the same time, it isn’t as silly as it first appears as Ukraine does have a space-rocket industry (albeit one that OTL builds light/medium...

This question is more complex than the title makes it sound. On one hand, there are many people who have said over the years that Russia is nothing but forest and tundra. This certainly wasn't true of the Russian Empire, which controlled the breadbasket of Ukraine and territories as diverse as...

In 1983 the world was almost destroyed in nuclear hell fire due to a computer error in a Soviet spy satellite. Thanks to Stanilslav Petrov's decision to listen to his gut instead of his orders the world was saved, but due to the findings of the Milgram Experiment in the 1960s it seems that his...

Earlier today I was reading a short paper entitled The German Occupation of the Ukraine in 1918: A Documentary Account by Xenia Eudin about the development of an independent Ukraine in 1917, the interactions between the Central Rada and Germany, the German coup d’etat and installing the puppet...

I'm interested in an Allied WW1 Victory scenario where all these states become independent and stable. What if Bolsheviks never take over Russia and the Preliminary Government stays in control? Would Russia still try to take back over all their former Empire land even if the treaty of...

December 12, 1918 - Kiev Koni versty rvuť nametom, Nam svoboda doroha, Čerez proriz kulemeta Ja šukaju v stepu voroha. Anarchija-mama syniv svojich ljubiť, Anarchija-mama ne prodasť, Svincevym doščem voroha priholubyť, Anarchija-mama za nas! Zustričaly vohnem kindžaľnym, Jak bližče pidpušču...

Up until the 1700s, Southern/Eastern Ukraine and the Caucasus were comparable to the American Midwest. They were sparsely populated virgin lands with excellent agricultural potential. However, by 1900 the United States had developed and industrialized the heartland of North America while Ukraine...

If the Russian Empire was able to survive until the 1990s at the earliest, how would the demography of the empire look? With Russia itself, I heard 200 million as of the year 2000 and Ukraine and Belarus maybe 60 and 15 million respectively. I'm thinking roughly these borders (minus Kaliningrad)...

Galicia-Volhynia TL Frederick, the young son of Frederick the Fair would survive and his wife Isabella of Aragon would bear another daughter named Bianka (1322), who will be the peace offering for Henry XV of Bavaria. On 1322-1323, the Dukes of Galicia, Andrew and Leo would manage to survive...

Now this timeline explores how & what impact there would be had "Scythians" or at least their descendants survived into the modern day. The point of divergences in this timeline comes in 1238 AD. In this timeline the Mongols convince the Alans to break their alliance with the Cumans & align...

Challenge: With a starting time between, 1848 to 1920s, make an Kievien Rus-esque Slavic Union ruled by the Tsar of Russia, between Russia, Byelorussia (Belarus) , and Ukraine, and that dominates the Slavic Blakens, such as Bulgaria and Serbia, or Yugoslavia.

Let's say its May 2014, the Crimean peninsula has voted to join Russia and the Donbass elections showed the majority of people wanting to join Russian Federation. In Odessa, a large clash breaks out with anti-Maidan Ukrainians being attacked and some even killed. As a result, Russian president...

How would it be possible for WW3 to occur after Russian soldiers seize and take control of the Crimean peninsula in 2014? There was a huge backlash from other countries and some were even paranoid of another territory or country being taken over by Russia even though it didn't happen. But lets...

Hi folks, The Makhnovchtchina was an anarchist army that appeared during the Russian Revolution and was initially successful enough before being double crossed by the communists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Insurrectionary_Army_of_Ukraine It lasted a good few years and, being...

It's just as the title says. What if at the dissolution of Soviet Union, Russia manages to retained OTL territories of Belarus, Eastern Ukraine (the Russophone parts), Crimea and Kazakhstan? How would it impact on the region and the world?

How realistic is a Byzantine Empire expanding up the Dniepr and controlling the Pontic Steppe based around Kiev? Could the population be assimilated properly so that it later could become the basis of a proper Greek successor state? I know the Mongol invasion makes this really really hard, but...

With a POD of 1900, you’r challenge is to make Poland be divided by at lest 2 countries into the modern day. The most odvious to me are Germany and Russia holding onto their polish territory, but is it possible to have other scenarios? Maybe a Czechoslovakia controlling the southern part of...

What if during Russian Civil War, Poland had not decided to invade western lands and spark Polish-Soviet War, thus preventing it from gaining Western Belarus and Ukrainian lands? How would it go? Would Stalin later retry to take all of Poland or he'd leave it alone like he did after Treaty of...
