Are the casualties of the superbombing of Petrograd counted separately? OTL St. Petersburg had a population of ~2,415,000 in 1916, and
around 2,812,134 people by the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. IOTL the Russian Civil War and the ensuing famines led to St. Petersburg's population slipping behind Moscow for the first time, but
presumably Piter remaining the capital city would bolster its population compared to OTL and thus see at least 40-50% of its citizens succumb to atomic hellfire and its consequences?
Petrograd would have the potential casualties of highly hundreds of thousands Russian civilians were killed by the German bombs as well as aftermath from many other victims who will be effected by nuclear radiation caused by the blast.
But besides the Horror of Petersburg radiation ☢️, the city would be better off without the Nazis army ensiege that left an Million Soviet Man, women and children dead within 2 year as well as getting rid of czarist oligarchs by the blast.
I wouldn't surprise that the Czar Russia will either overthrow by Republican coup or just collapse by it own weight within a few years or so after the failed of two wars by the German twice times in 20 years.
St Petersburg wouldn’t be the capital for Russia for a long time and would highly have Moscow to be the capital instead
Seconded. I would have issues with using only real-life people beyond a certain point and hew too closely to their OTL activities in dramatically different circumstances, not to mention that a lot of post-Soviet politicians have strong ties, particularly familial ones, to another country - like
Mykola Azarov the 14th Prime Minister of Ukraine (born in Kaluga to an Estonian father and a Russian mother), and Alexei Navalny as stated above - that just would not be there in a world where Ukraine, Belarus and such retain their independence for a century longer.
Honestly yes, of course because it more realistic to more people from OTL doesn’t existed and replaced with someone
Though I do have to assume Mikhail II and the regime that existed until the end of the SGW actively organized and sanctioned purges and pogroms against enemies of the state, particularly Jews.
Tsar Mikhail II and his PM would highly have Mass organized units like Black Hundreds militias and Okharna purge any "
Maloross bandits" and "
Gans sympathizers" across of czarist territory in during SGW. The main victims of these massacres are obviously the Jews but I wouldn’t be surprised they started targeting ethnic germans communities horribly with harassment, mistreatment and discrimination to even deportation.
The Mass killing of Jews would be European version of the Population Reduction down in the South in the SGW
Also I agree with
@BigAbeRangel that your post regarding Actionist Mexico is
excellent, and would perhaps be even more plausible for a rendition of TL-191 where the Confederate States is less... lucky and/or ascendant, shall we say.
It was a wonderful post and I hope that am be able to be as good as him soon. Allochronian and SM are my inspiration to make better posts on this thread
Yes, the superbombing of Petrograd would be included as note that I said 'mainly' in my post above. Reminds me of a project I've had in mind for years to do breaking down each superbombing and adjusting for populations.
St Petersburg will be the Hiroshima of Europe
Also do you still going to do the project of the Superbomb soon?
