Do recall that in our timeline, Elon Musk was born in Apartheid-era South Africa, and his mother was from Canada. In the world of Reds, he and his family might end up moving to the FBU or Australia when Canada and South Africa break away from the capitalist sphere. One update mentioned that Australia has a significant right-libertarian party, so it might be most welcoming of Musk.

I wonder which authors are popular in America. The Strutgatsky Brothers have a cult following here, and with a more liberal USSR, they could explore more themes. Stanislaw Lem (I know, he's Polish, but Poland is still in the Eastern Bloc ITTL, if I recall correctly) could also be very popular, with lesser restrictions on his content.
So, exactly the same but with an Australian accent. I don't know if that would make his speeches better or worse
Alisa Selezneva would probably be pretty big.
Actually, I had just heard that in the 50's, American film producers would often take Soviet sci-fi films and chop them up to make b-movies (or as stock footage in other b-movies). For example, the Soviet sci-fi film Nebo Zovyet was distributed in America by Roger Corman as Battle Beyond the Sun, which had all political references trimmed out, all the names changed, any references to the Soviets scrubbed, and a few new scenes with space monsters edited in by a young Francis Ford Coppola. Scenes from Nebo Zovyet were also used in other Corman movies.
I could imagine something like that happening in FBU and AOFS cinemas with Cominterm sci-fi films.
Yeah, a few of those films were featured on Mystery Science Theater.
It would be interesting to see what edits the AFS makes to, say, Star Wars.
Are you familiar with the works of Strugatsky !? Pleasantly surprised! We have published versions of products with less censorship cuts. I think that the softer censorship Land of Crimson Clouds hardly changed, too, goes for the vast majority of early works and later will be more open, but more optimistic.
I'm more worried about Ivan Efremov. In the USSR, Andromeda: history of the space age all blew the roof. I think under these conditions in his novels would be a bit more nudity (in the second chapter-Veda Cong was wearing a dress Cretan-Minoan era, the novel is not described, but the fact is that in that culture the girls went to topless). It may even reveal the topic of homosexuality (in the forums is a frequent topic for debate). I can prevesti basic ideas or even throw a link to the English translation if interested.
I've even thought about anything. Residents of some regions of UASR should be easy prey for fraudsters. I have heard that many got rich at the expense of ordinary human naivety in the sixties. I checked and the Soviet people were really somewhere more naive (sa-so our generation is lazy, cynical, and obsessed with consumption as modern Americans, is just not interested in sports).
Actually, a hilarious target for this would be Robocop (assuming it still gets made ITTL). They'd probably cut out all the violence and satire and sell it as a kids movie.
Maybe as a parody of this, some American filmmakers could take one of the Warhammer 40K movies and edit that into left-wing propaganda.
Most people here know about them, because James Cameron was accused of ripping them off.
A Pandora .... My brother and I, too, wondered if the film is connected with books Strugatsky. Well ... naked, spotted monkeys wasn"t there
.And what do you know about Efremov (sorry that so often mention it, it's just my favorite writer (of Soviet science fiction)).
Myself, I am familiar with Andromeda, which was shown as a major example of science fiction during the latter part of Soviet history.A Pandora .... My brother and I, too, wondered if the film is connected with books Strugatsky. Well ... naked, spotted monkeys wasn"t there
And what do you know about Efremov (sorry that so often mention it, it's just my favorite writer (of Soviet science fiction)).
Maybe. Perhaps it is translated and serialized in a science fiction magazine, before getting fully released. Perhaps it becomes a cult classic because of it.
We and published (even aware that the publication of a magazine was dated chronology, he removed it after the launch of the satellite).
By the way (this can affect the attitude of Americans) - he criticized pornography, but took erotica.
Comrades, I had a couple of ideas!
1) I would like to know how the world would look in red series "The Big Bang Theory." On the one hand in the schools should be less aggressive social environment, but tBut history of Lenina shows that every can happen, even friends can substitute. And if Leonard and Howard's ability to cope, the Sheldon too high opinion of himself to the local education system. You could say that Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Convinced socialists (though Howard has always been a bit of a cynic, that somebody knows).And to be honest ... I'm afraid to imagine Sheldon in high political activity of the population. Since the action takes place in California, then Raj will have problems not only with numbness at the sight of women (Sheldon Texan, but he does not care). About the Penny sure that it will not be so wasteful.
Your thoughts?
2) In general, as a regulated conflicts between classmates? In Norway, for example is selected for this specific person. In general, how often in classes appear outcasts (believe me, so have not sweet).
3) Did the barbie world appear?

Well, 2000AD came about mainly as a reaction to Thatcherism, and the FBU seems more One Nation than Thatcherite. However, if I remember correctly there was a period where the FBU was controlled by the right wing of the party in power (whose name I've forgotten) so might still come about, but would probably spend much of it's time fighting censors, rather than editors.
With regard to the stories, the fear of the bomb still exists so the basic premise of the Dreddverse is likely to stay, although rather than being fasistic Mega City One is more likely to be Stalinist. At the same time it is less likely that there will be so many black and white stories in the early days, Rogue Trooper for example is more likely to look like it's current iteration, where the villains are at least recognisably human, rather than Nazi's on steroids.
Aside from that, it might stand a better chance of reaching Marvel or DC levels, being British so acceptable to the FBU while not being propoganda, so acceptable to the UASR.
I'm not sure about that, given Dredd was very much supposed to be about America, but I can certainly see alt-Brit Cit being more prominent, rather than memetically neutral.
OTL Dredd was also produced a world where Britain and America were close allies, and American culture is presumably more prevalent.
