Could social conservative parties have risen in a Soviet Union that survived and becomes democratic (New Union) in the 1990s? Like social conservative like OTL's Republicans but willing to use government action unlike the GOP's love for "states' rights".
Also, I think the communists and socialists would be destroyed in any early-1990s recession/turmoil and reformists would rise.
I know though that they would still be statist/economically progressive/communitarian, though, like some Polish parties or the CDU.
