Okay, so this is a pretty shameless ripoff of another thread I saw floating around here about a potential alternate timeline with "Araboos" insteas of weaboos, which you can check out here.
However, your goal in this timeline is to create a world where Russian culture and media becomes wildly popular in the West, particularly the United States, instead of Japanese culture and media.
This would probably require a stable, democratic Russia by the early 1980s at the latest, which I know might be a tall order, but I think it's somewhat plausible.
The pod has to be after 1900.
How do you guys think this would go? How about how we could get there?
