Say the 1991 August coup is successfully
Would the Soviets keep support it's various proxies through out the world
What would be it's relationship with West
Would the Soviets have closer relationship with China than otl Russia
The West would have a negative reaction but it's reasonable to think the USSR and China would draw close together since both regimes could relate to one another. The Chinese had crushed the Tiannamen movement prior to the '91 coup.
In addition, a surviving USSR would probably try to emulate the Chinese in maintaining a dictatorial political system while allowing capitalism.
Wouldn't a capture of Boris Yeltsin deprive the opposition of an leader to rally aroundIMO, it's hard for the coup to succeed because the Soviet Union was already in a pretty bad situation and many in the armed forces didn't support the coup. At most, it may have led to a civil war. What do you think?
