Of couse not
But definitely I'm not Comrade Romanov, he is not going anywhere for a few year I believie.
But if he were to leave, it would be symbolic.Of couse not

This will depend only from comrade @Altlov, from now on he is the new boss.
We will defiently need a link for that here then so anyone can easily find their way there

Worry not comrade, the game is not finished. Only this thread will be closed, the story will be continued by dear comrade @Altlov
I haven't started the new thread yet and won't until this one concludes : )We will defiently need a link for that here then so anyone can easily find their way there

Probably not, the Union is at just below three trillion, with the US at just above five. I don't see a crash wiping out two trillion dollars worth of economic activity from the US, not unless it is on the scale of (or probably worse) than the Great Depression. I do think we have closed the gap since the USSR is far more insulated from the world economy, but I don't think we have overtaken for first.
Thank you for the thread so far. It's been a fun ride.

Looking forward to it!
B. Eduard Shevardadze would be good in maintaining the big tent coalition that has successfully managed to keep the economy steady. Plus he would help showcase leadership remains for all the peoples of the Union.
A. It should be a priority. Additionally, we should look to use our Buran shuttle which is in development to ferry the modules of the space station. This can cut down on costs and give use to the shuttle.
I agree with @Rinasoir's point. I additionally do believe that in public, however, we should support the PLO in their bid for a state, to maintain support within the Arab world. But we should do nothing more.
I think @Rinasoir's, @ruffino's and @seraphim74's proposals should be combined into one, which can serve as our reaction.
As for Estonia, @Altlov has the right idea in treating them as rioters and @Rinasoir the best on changing the narrative, which would be important long-term. We also need to ensure the reforms we have just implemented in the new phosphorus mines have time to bear fruit as that would serve as a natural impetus against future protests.
As sequel to the Crisis in the Kremlin has just been announced comrades!
Crisis in the Kremlin: The Cold War
Take charge of the Soviet Union in the new, updated Crisis in the Kremlin. Lead the country through its most challenging times. Carry out scientific research, manage finances to lead the USSR out of a prolonged political crisis. Implement public reforms, introduce free elections or, conversely...

There isn't a pre-order option right? I have all the other games, except for the China and Collapse.

B) Eduard Shevardadze
Support of the National Minorities is especially valuable at the present time, and keeping the Moderates onboard is also good.
Young(!) Gorbachev has done very well as Foreign Minister and with Reagan leaving the White House soon he will be needed to take advantage of the transition.

A) Build Mir-2
Interkosmos already exists as a framework for peaceful co-operation in space, but with Mir-2 we can more fully intergrate the project with sustained Eastern Bloc contributions of experiments and cosmonauts from the ground-up. Once the project is underway, approach India about deeper participation under this Interkosmos II.
(This is getting ahead of ourselves but maybe at somepoint in the New Millenium Mir-2 could facilitate an EOR Moonshot, something for Baikonur to think about)

Diplomatic overtures for lasting peace, and delivery of civilian aid shipments.

I agree with Comrade @seraphim74, particularly on the importance of gathering and analysing information from the conflict. We already have embedded advisors but when there is a lull in the fighting poach a few Cuban commandos to exchange experiences with our own special forces.
Estonia:
Throwing the no-longer-disgraced Molotov to the Estonian wolves would reflect extremely poorly on General Secretary Romanov, who only recently rehabilitated Vyacheslav Mikhaylovich in 1985. The idea is not unsound but now is not the right time. The EKP and KGB seem to have a handle on the immediate situation, but make sure that they root out then sever any connection to foreign intelligence services when suppressing MRP-AEG as this is a police/counter-intelligence matter. The Reformed Gulag will keep the ringleaders alive and out of the way. I'm sure Comrade Shevardadze would be delighted to announce our continuing commitment to Soviet Multi-culturalism upon his (hopeful) promotion.
(I would have also liked to raise the issue of Romania but with the Thread Secretary stepping down that can wait until the next meeting)
I still am not sure about Buran being the best way. I have a feeling it is more: "The Americans have a big shuttle, so we should have one too". IMO Buran is too big. American space shuttles were designed so they would be able to catch a defective satelite in orbit and bring it safely down for repairs. Do we plan similar actions?
I believe that a significantly smaller shuttle/space plane for 4 people aboard (or 2+ cargo, eventually 6 persons in an emergency) would be better. After all you do not need a shuttle to bring a module to a space station. Mir was made quite well without a shuttle .You can send modules to the orbit on their own and a single shuttle/space plane (or regular Soyuz spacecraft) with crew to put it all together. Then a space plane can serve as a relatively cheap way to resupply the station, exchange the crew etc., just like Soyuz/Progress served Mir and ISS.
