Andries Treurnicht became president of South Africa in 1985 after president Botha was ousted on military coup. Immediately after his ascension Treurnicht proclaimed that South Africa will be soon totally white nations and all blacks are moved to banustans. This started terrible war which lasted four years and killed or replaced millions of people. This led to total disgust of whole world and full blockade of the nation. Treurnicht anyway decide take really hard methods on foreign poltics and threatened world that it launch its own nuclear weapons to multiple cities like New York, London, Berlin and Tokyo if they intervene.

Treurnicht too practise very strict Afrikaner and calvinist policitcs. Calvinist Church was made as official state church and all state officials had to members of the church. He too made Afrikaans only official and legal language of South Africa which caused much of resistance among English and German speakers. Namibia, which lost its autonomy, even saw much of demonstrations, protests and even outright violent riots. Some even argue that war was pretty close there.

Treurnicht anyway died on heart surgery in 1993 which might had saved South Africa from new disastrous war. Treurnicht's death wasn't mourned on foreign nations and actually any of them even didn't sent condolences or even sent anyone to Treurnicht's funeral.

Nowadays Treurnicht is seen one of worst dictators of 20th century within Hitler, Himmler, Stalin, Mao, Aflaq and Mad Mufti. Many South African anyway see him as man who saved white race and Afrikaner culutre in South Africa and he was even voted as one of greates South African.

Kurt Gerstein was a Waffen-SS officer who acted as the head of the Hygiene-Institut der Waffen-SS (Institute for Hygiene of the Waffen-SS). Secretly, he was an agent of the anti-Nazi Confessing Church who spent virtually all of his career in the Waffen-SS collecting information on Nazi war crimes and crimes against humanity and attempting to spread word of them to the international community. Joining the Free German Army in 1944 - one of the few Waffen-SS officers to do so, at least initially - he served as a technician and worked on methods of countering the Nazi use of chemical weapons. Testifying at the Nuremberg trials, he would later say he was sorely tempted to "rush the dock and personally wring that bastard Himmler's neck". After the war, he would enter politics, elected to the Reichstag as a CDU monarchist in 1949. His political career would last until his 1984 retirement. After his passing in 1997, he would be commemorated worldwide as a great humanitarian.

Swedish diblomat Raoul Wallenberg worked in Budapest, Hungary during WW2. When dictator Hórthy begun search way get out from German influence and avoid expulsion of Jews to Germany Wallenberg willingfully offered his help. He helped Hungarian government organise transportation of Jewish population to Italian border. Wallenberg too escaped to Italy soon after Germany invaded Hungary and execution of Hórthy.

In Italy Wallenberg mediated negotiations between Italy and United Kingdom and gave his support for formation of ANlgo-Jewish Army. Later he helped thousands of Polish Jews and other Poles escape from Poland after USSR had occupied the country.

After First Arab War Wallenberg served several years as Swedish ambassador in Jerusalem. He resigned in 1970's and later published his memoirs. He was too awarder by king of Sweden from his long career as diblomat. Yad Vashem declared him as Righteous Among People in 1986. Wallenberg died in Stockholm in 2005.

Folke Bernadotte was Swedish count and diblomat. He was related to Swedish royal family but didn't belong to royals when he wasn't on line of succession of the country.

During WW2 he helped to organise evacuation of Danish and Norweigian Jews to Sweden. He too tried negotiate peace between Finland and Soviet Union and even proposed that Finland could be neutral but Soviets didn't accept that. Later When USSR occupied Finland, Bernadotte organised evacuation of ten of thousands of Finns, among them almost whole Finnish Jewish population.

Later Bernadotte as UN abassador tried negotiate issue of Palestine but it was failure and negotiations ended totally on beginning of First Arabian War. In 1956 Bernadotte tried go to Oman to check what did happen to Omani Jewish population and tried negotiate with Aflaq. But he was quickly declared as person-non-grata. Later he stated that at this moment he begun suspect that something terrible was happened and begun lost his some smpathy towards Arabs.

Politically Bernadotte was too staunch opponent of Communism and strongly proposed Sweden to join to ITO.

Bernadotte died in Stockholm in 1986 at age of 91. He got state funeral and Sweidish royal family too participated to his funeral. In 1993 Yad Vashem declared him as Righteous Among People.

Chiang Kai-Sek's tomb and memorial in Beijing.

After Chiang's death in 1975 his body was soon intened to the mausoleum which is too museum which tells about Chiang's life. The place gets still nowadays annually millions of visitors around of China and from foreignnations.

Many Chinese still nowadays see Chiang as man who saved and united China after many decades lasted chaos, war lordism, wars and division. Chiang is seen one of greates Chinese people. Around of him is even erecterd massive cult of personality. In China is not even small village where wouldn't be street or square named after him. And some countryside peasants even see him being god.

Despite still massive respect towards Chiang, some people have begun take more critical view on him during 2010's.

Regarding the TNO related discussion that happened a few pages back. I don't think alt-TNO would be brazenly lenient on Fascism, at least insofar as given it's reputation in being more on the level of Communism OTL. Meaning that the ideology would likely still be held to a degree of scrutiny and not blindly glamourized. However, the fact that Fascism's reputation is a lot less unfavourable ITTL make me believe that it's portrayal in TNO would be a lot akin to how Socialism/Communism is OTL. In that there would be a great deal of nuance involved and the Fascist ideology itself will be given a balanced depiction. So there will be "good" and bad Fascists in ITTL-TNO just like how OTL-TNO has "good" and bad Communists.

Thus some of the changes I envision could be say, in Samara, Bunyachenko being moved up to Fascism with his content having extra emphasis placed on nationalism and his portrayal would be considerably more sympathetic and received more favourably by the fandom, given his struggles against both the Soviets and the Nazis. Whereas Oktan would become the Natsoc option (Nazism still being widely hated ITTL as much as it is OTL).

IDK how the butterflies affected Sablin's fate in TFoM, perhaps he doesn't become known for anything. Though if Sablin does still go through his OTL attempt to return Russia back to what he sees as Leninist principles, then he would certainly be remembered as a fanatic mad dog who wanted to drag Russia back to the dark days of Communism. Which would reflect his portrayal in the game.

I don't see Fascist path/independent-Speer being portrayed favourably however, or even as a Fascist in the first placed because of his obvious affiliation to the Nazis. He may just be labelled NatSoc instead, even if a reformed type of one.

Also, I'd imagine that the infamous Andreas Treunicht himself would have a prominent appearance in the Boer Republic after the South African War kicks off with both him and the Boer republic going under the NatSoc label.

Anastasia (1997) A fantasy film that imagines the life of Princess Anastasia surviving the October revolution. With many elements of fantasy, notably the Satanic aspect of Rasputin selling his soul to overthrow the Tsar and provoke the revolution. Despite its clear fantastic elements and historical inaccuracy, the film has become extremely popular in Russia promoted by the Tolstoyist doctrine, being a kind of December tradition.

Theatrical poster of The Last Emperor, an Anglo-Chinese-Italian co-production about Puyi, the final emperor of the Qing dynasty. Released in 1987, the movie covers his life from his ascension to the Dragon Throne at the age of two all the way to his final days as a private citizen in South Beijing. This biopic won many awards, including the Academy Award for Best Picture, the BAFTA Award for Best Film, the David di Donatello Award for Best Film, and the Golden Dragon Award for Best Feature-Length Movie. Some critics have argued that the movie's firm anti-communist stance was director Bernardo Bertolucci's way of distancing himself from and atoning for a youthful flirtation with Marxism, but Bertolucci neither confirmed nor denied these theories.

Artwork taken from the Werewolf: The Defenders sourcebook “World War Werewolf”. The sourcebook covers the actions of the Garou nation, from the unholy alliance between the Get of Fenrus and the Nazi Party, to the mass enlistment of Garou in whatever their coutnry’s armed forces were, to the eventual alliance between the Silver Fangs and the Roman Alliance and their entry into the war. It would prove to be a hit for White Wolf, and would be among the titles rebooted with the rest of the Werewolf universe when New World of Darkness rolled around.

Garou belonging to the Loogaroo Tribe. Mostly consisting of African Americans and other minorities, the Loogaroo provided security to the Pro-Civil Rights groups during the American Troubles in the World of Darkness. Among their number would be Colin Powell and President Edward Brooke, thouh both would keep their status as Garou a secret. In the current “present” of Werewolf: the Defenders, they try to keep the demonic forces that threaten the world at bay through the operation of both churches and mosques, as well as community programs.

A photo of Ethologist John B. Calhoun in the middle of his infamous "Rat Utopia" Experiment. In the early 1960's, Calhoun would gain fame across the world for the publication of his "Behavioral Sink" theory. A Behavioral Sink claims that when overcrowding occurs there will be an eventual collapse of social behavior and norms as the existence of living in cramped conditions with no means of escape shall drive people into insanity due to their environment. Calhoun's Rat Utopia experiments would test this theory with his stuffing of enclosed spaces were rats were given an unlimited amount of food and water while not taking any action to cull population growth. Within a year the explosion of the rat population had lead to a disturbing collapse of social behavior such as mass miscarriages, rampant infantcide, division into groups of Alphas and Betas with a hierarchy of dominance, the formation of cliques centered around feeding drops, cannibalism, and sexual deviation.

Calhoun's publication of his findings in 1963 would promote mass hysteria over fears of overcrowding and Malthusian degradation of the Earth with Rat Utopias being used by various groups for their own ideological means. White Supremacists and Black Fascists tried to claim that Behavioral Sinks would occur with the mixing of races. Fascist nations claimed that Behavioral Sinks were the end result of democracy without populations having a common cause or ideology to unite behind. Capitalists and Democrats claimed that Behavioral Sinks would occur when a dense population was no longer given free will, choice, or competition. Communists claimed that Behavior Sinks would occur when humans no longer had a purpose that would be fulfilled with labor.

Over the course of the 1970's, the scientific community would turn against Calhoun's theories due to a growing criticism surrounding the variables of the experiment, the differences between mice and human physiology, the existence of complex human ideals and beliefs absent in mice, and the lack of any real-world examples of events close to a Behavioral Sink despite increasing urbanization and the growing density of such cities. By 1980, "Calhounism" had been relegated to a fringe of sociology, though in the minds of the public it was still a very real threat, one that would be commonly observed in the realm of science fiction, most famously cyberpunk and space opera genres.

John Calhoun would see a posthumous vindication of his theory in the 21st century due to the operations of the Bantustans. Life within the Bantustans with its hellish and chaotic society and complete lack of standard morals and ethics would present an image similar to a Behavioral Sink, leading many to believe that South Africa's draconian system had given birth to the first Human Behavioral Sink. This would give a new rise in popularity to Calhoun's studies and experiments with further projects and experiments being funded by universities in the West and Post-Fascist sphere to confirm the possible extent of Behavioral Sink. By 2021, "Neo-Calhounism" is an accepted and legitimate branch of sociology with Neo-Calhounists diverting away from Calhoun with an increased emphasis on societal isolation, stimulation depreviation, and resource deprivation instead of overcrowding, with many Neo-Calhounists claiming that the Islamic State of Arabia was the first Human Behavioral Sink. Another popular belief is that Syria is on its way to becoming another Behavioral Sink which it will reach in the next one or two decades if Turkish occupation and control continues.

Nearly 60 years after the conclusion of his Rat Utopia experiments at NIMH, John B. Calhoun has for better or worse left a great mark upon the scientific community. While a vocal community of Sociologists and Ethologists claim that Behavioral Sinks and Calhounism are a faux scientific practice reliant upon forced artificial circumstances with no natural behavioral sinks possible, more within their fields along with the general public accept it as a true scientific practice, one of many possible futures for humanity. No matter what one believes, it is a fact that the Behavioral Sink as an idea is for the near future here to stay.

Léon Degrelle, the most infamous Belgian collaborator with Nazi Germany and leader of the Wallonia-based clerical fascist Rexist Party, During the war, Degrelle served with the Wermacht and Waffen SS in the Walloon Legion on the Eastern Front, where he achieved the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer. During the German Civil War, Degrelle sided with the SS and took part in the Battle of Berlin against the US Army. After the end of the battle, Degrelle was captured by American soldiers and spent the rest of 1944 and into 1945 in US army custody. In 1945, he was handed over to the custody. the Belgian Army. After a trial, Degrelle was executed by firing squad in Brussels on July 1, 1945, aged 39 years old.

Leopold III, King of Belgium from 1940 to 1949. During the war, Leopold III was kept in German captivity. In 1944, he was liberated in Austria by the Italian Royal Army and kept under guard by the Italian army in Austria. After the war, as a result of his surrender to Germany, his return to Belgium worried Regent Prince Charles, Count of Flanders and Prime Minister Hubert Pierlot that his return to the throne would cause a political crisis or civil war between Walloons and Flemings. Leopold III called upon his brother in law Umberto II to support his return to Belgium, but he declined to do so. As a result, and still under pressure from the Belgian government, on October 1, 1948 he abdicated the throne to his legally-aged son Baudouin, who became King Baudouin of Belgium.

Flag of the German Community of Belgium, one of the three official federal communities of the Kingdom of Belgium, all of which were officially established in 1980, by which point Belgium had become a federal state with a three-tiered federation with federal, regional, and community governments.

Israli right-wing politician and lont-time prime minister Menachem Begin

Begin acted on Irgun organisation and later became leader of right-wing Herut Party. He acted as prime minister in years 1957 - 1974. His long premiership saw further closening relationships with Italy and rise of Israeli nationalism. Begin was pretty defensive over Italian actions and he too sents volunteer corps to Ethiopia in 1960's. Israel was during his premiership so close of Italy that one German journalist even invented term "Isralization". It is usually used when neutral country has extremely close relationship with some great power and is very defensive and helpful for another nation.

Menachem was often critised over his close relationships with fascist Italy and his support for Italian actions in Ethiopia. He was one of few heads of government outside of fascist bloc who defended Italy over nuking of Addis Abeba. Even left-wing Mapai begun really hard campaign against the PM. Begin was too critised over his alliance with ultra-nationalist Lehi. In 1970's anyway even Begin begun to become critical over the government party and it was quiet clear that their cooperation was close of end. Begin stepped down from his office in 1974 and Mapai took power.

Begin left politics soon after his premiership and published his own memoirs in 1979. He too admitted that he might had been unhealthy close of Italy altough he still saw Italy as important partner and friend of Israel.

Chilean general and politician Augusto Pinochet, photographed shortly after his election to the presidency. During the Beagle War, he came to international prominence for the important role he played in Chile's victory over Argentina. The fame he received propelled him to the presidency in 1980, and shortly after his election, he would thank his predecessor Salvador Allende for not letting their political differences impede the war effort. While his economic policies have come under criticism in recent years, his legacy as president is generally considered a positive one, and his death was met with tributes and condolences from all over the world.

Pierre Gemayel was long-served president and dictator of Lebanon. During occupatiobn of Lebanon by UAR he lived in Rome. When Italians and Israelis liberated the country at end of Second Arabian War, him became president of Lebanon, On foreign politics he immediately joined to Roman Alliance and him had too quiet good relationships with Israel. Through 1960's and 1970's he sent soldiers to Ethiopia to help Italians fight Ethiopian guerillas. He was too one of few national leaders who fully accepted and defended nuking of Addis Abeba.

Domestically Gemayel led Lebanon with iron fist. He managed make constitution very pro-Maronites and for example it required that president and other high-ranked state officials must be Maronites. Germayel too managed push forward very Christian-focused acts and legistature like homosexuality and abortion were stricktly prohibited. Gemayel too approved spreading of Christianity among remaining Muslim population and several mosques were transferred as churches. He too promoted higher usage of Aramaic language. Gemayel too made several works for economic issues and already 1960's Lebanon was recovered from SAW much better than many other Arab nations. Gemayel had too deal with Arab and Islamic terrorism altough these were pretty much solved by seceret police and army by early 1970's.

When fascism begun to fall at end of 1970's Gemayel begun to push some small reforms and finally in 1980 he allowed democratic election and stepped down from his office. He died in 1984 from heart attack in Beirut and got massive state funeral.

Nowadays Gemayel is slightly controversial. In Lebanon and among several Christian societies around the world he is seen as markable man who returned Lebanon back of Christians and managed push Christian values forward. And Lebanese see him as true father of modern Lebanon who stabilised the country and brought that to 20th century. But there is too much of criticism speciality him being quiet oppressive towards Muslims and jailing of tens of thousands political opponents and general lack of political freedoms.

Photo of two of the main protagonists, Oskar "Bear Jew" Donowitz and Alberto Raine from left to right of the film Inglorious Basterds. Inglorious Basterds is a 2009 American counterhistorical action film directed by Quentin Tarantino which centers around the titular "Basterds", an Italian special forces unit composed of Jewish Italian Blackshirts and Jewish immigrants from Germany who are given the mission of infiltrating southern Germany and Austria on the outbreak of the war and waging a total guerilla campaign against the Germans with no restrictions on engagement. Over the course of the war the Basterds through their high success rate and gruesome tactics sow terror among the German ranks, with the squad soon able to make a great impact on the war when they are given a mission to assassinate Fuhrer Heinrich Himmler in Vienna, all the while they are being hunted down by the film's primary antagonist SS Colonel Hans "Jew Hunter" Landa.

Loosely inspired by the 1978 Spaghetti war film of the same name, Inglorious Bastards is one of Tarantino's most successful films yet it is widely regarded as his most controversial due to his approach of the subject matter. In addition to the main theme of the film being Anti-Nazism with focus on the brutality of Hans Landa and the SS, the film also contains strong Anti-Fascist undertones through the brutality of the titular Basterds, with the men committing multiple war crimes over the course of the film against Wehrmacht and SS soldiers such as shooting surrendering enemies, scalping the heads of the dead, torture, and brutal executions. The excessive violence along with the zealous commitment to Fascism and heavy Chauvinism on the Basterds is meant to be a critique on Fascist ideology and Italy's role in World War II, as despite Fascism being regarded by the greater world as a harsh authoritarian system, Italian portrayal in World War II media had generally been depicted as noble and heroic due to its role in stopping the Holocaust. Perhaps the most notable example of anti-Fascism within the film is the portrayal of Captain Alberto Raine, a man who while appearing to fulfill the archetype of the typical action hero, has hints of sociopathy with references to participation in the conquest of Yugoslavia, open support for the subjugation of Slovenia, and foreshadowing of Raine being sent to Ethiopia with him looking forward to "Bringing Africa into the Empire."

Upon the film's release it was banned in Germany due to its depiction of the Wehrmacht having been partially responsible for the crimes of the Nazis and at times colluding or outright participating with the SS. Due to German historiography heavily emphasizing the "Clean Wehrmacht" ideal and the narrative that Germany was brainwashed and oppressed by the Nazis, to see such a smearing of the Wehrmacht was an indication of the film being anti-German in the eyes of the Free Kingdom. The film would later be unbanned in 2020 due to the failure of enforcement thanks to easy German access through the purchase of DVD's across the border and pirating through the internet, with its unbanning being seen as part of the German Introspective towards its role in World War II. In spite of its Anti-Fascist themes, the film exploded in popularity in both Italy and Israel, topping both nation's box offices and being championed as a favorite of the Right of both nations. In Israel, there is a noted trend of high streaming of Inglorious Basterds during the anniversaries of the Battle of Trieste and the Arab-Israeli Wars.

In spite of its controversy of its themes and excessive violence, Inglorious Basterds was a critical and commercial success with the film having a box office of $573 million worldwide and it would win several awards, with actor Christopher Waltz winning many Best Actor awards for his portrayal of Hans Landa. The success of the film would push Tarantino to focus more on counterhistorical films in the future, with four films being made over the course of the 2010's, dubbed by fans increasingly in what is called the "Tarantinoverse" due to signs of a shared cinematic universe despite a lack of official acknowledgement.

I'd say that Sablin and Bukharina in this universe would both be the Communist equvilent of Speer or Shaferverich; they create something that's only close to modern day Marxism-Leninism at "best" that dial down the racial oppression somewhat but is still extremely brutal and informally racist(and don't be suprised if "muh rootless cosmopolitanism" exists informally within Bukharina or Sablin created society), there will be a lot less Communists that appear sympathetic to the fandom, and Communism will be closer to Ordosocialism with all the hardline Communist routes being one or another form of racial oppression at the "least" evil or outright genocide at the most, especially Suslov, Tukh and Kaganovich, and the PRC could have a more "final" solution to dealing with the Mongolian faction. The closest to a "good" left option will be the Humanists and SBA under the anarchists if they don't go militarist, and Malenkov filling in for Men.

Ordosocialism will in this case bascically be full-blown Khmer Rouge rather than "crypto-Khmer Rouge" esque regime(essentially red Burgundianism), with Serov's opposition to Suslov being that he wasn't genocidal enough rather than him not willing to entertain genocidal thoughts at all in OTL!TNO.

Serov wouldn't even be expelled by from the KKP and he certainly wouldn't fall under the NatSoc label.

Expanding on my previous post. Given that the narrative cult surrounding Erwin Rommel is bound to be incredibly more rigid and immersed into Pop Culture, I can envision him playing a big role in TNO. Perhaps taking the place of Spiedel (OTL he acts as Spiedel's second when he takes over Germania during the GCW but plays no role beyond that). Or he could even take the place of Hans Tresckow as one of the GO4, representing the Fascist bloc of the anti-Nazi reformists.
