Alternate Designated SSRs in the Soviet Union?

Perhaps a Karalpakstan SSR?

If someone other than Stalin drew that damn border differently, that area would probably be included in Kazakhstan instead of as an autonomous part of Uzbekistan. The Karalkapak language is extremely similar to (Standard) Kazakh with a few minor differences.
 
Perhaps a Transcaucasian SSR? It was an actual thing and broke into the Georgian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani SSRs sometime after Stalin became leader. Another possible SSR would be a Greater Finnish SSR, in the possibility that the Reds won the Finnish Civil War or the Soviets got Finland after World War 2 and gave them the Karelo-Finnish SSR, a Manchurian SSR if the Soviets annexed the area instead of giving it to the Chinese Communists, or a Polish SSR if the Soviets completely annexed Poland in WW2 or won the Polish-Soviet War.

Other than that, the only possible options I see are a Karakalpak, Crimean, and a "Prussian" (although the term would likely not be used) SSR in the territory of Karakalpakstan, Crimea, and the Kaliningrad Oblast. This would likely end up being problems for the latter two after the Soviet collapse, as the regions would be majority Russian.

Ah yes, the Transcaucasian SFSR. The only other Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in the USSR apart from Russia itself.

Of which we have a discussion thread on that very topic. :)

So far it's been leading to some interesting ideas pop up.

See above for Karakalpakstan.
