Inspired by Hnau's sadly defunct No-Lenin timeline, I was wondering what people thought about the fate of the USSR's leadership without a USSR.
If we follow Hnau's logic of no Lenin = SRs dominate the 1917 Revolution, leading to a basically democratic Russian republic, what do the sidelined SDLP do?
Will they continue to agitate for revolution, join in elective politics, go off to other careers? Not only the 'Old Bolsheviks' but later generations, will the likes of Beria, Khrushchev, Zhukov etc. still become prominent? Really no Soviet Union frees a lot of people who probably aren't enamored with some fringe far-left party.
TBH I just like the idea of Bukharin drawing satirical cartoons in newspapers and Stalin touting a tommy gun on the highways of Russia as a gangster.
