Sure, you could see Communism collapsing in Russia but lasting in one of the SSRs, with a soviet government in exiles armed with nuclear weapons to keep out foreign interventionAs the title states, is there a way to have a continuing Soviet government in exile á la Taiwan?

Some Kaliningrad and East Germany team up
More bad news is that there were Russian troops stationed in Lithuania until 1993, who could safely just move in to Kaliningrad and reestablish order as soon as Yeltsin ordered them to.Kaliningrad will do just fine. Detached from all SSRs, possibly as a military zone, and have the rump government set up there. Good news is, it's surrounded by anti-Russian neighbors who won't take kindly to Yeltsin sending the troops in via their land. Bad news is, it's surrounded by anti-Russian neighbors who have no love for the Soviets either.
Maybe. It really depends on where the garrisons' loyalties lie, which could result in such varying outcomes as 'arrested at Povunden' to 'mass defections of Baltic garrisons to the Soviet government-in-exile'. Though, the former is far more likely.More bad news is that there were Russian troops stationed in Lithuania until 1993, who could safely just move in to Kaliningrad and reestablish order as soon as Yeltsin ordered them to.
