I am of the opinion that if Nikita Khrushchev had remained the the leader of the Soviet Union until his OTL death that he general quality of life in the SU would have been much better than OTL and that the Soviet Union would most likely still exist today. With his focus on light industry and consumer goods, a much happier population would be less likely to disband the union 20 years after he died in 1971. I believe a more favorable outcome of the Virgin Lands Campaign or Cuban Missile Crisis would probably keep him in power.
