Personally? No. I only talked to him for a few minutes, more or less asking about his economical thoughts and his 500 days programme, nothing much else. He was there as a political guest speaker and an economics guest speaker for the economical portion of the convention.

Wow, the actual Yavlinsky inspired this timeline. Speaking of which, based on your name you're likely from India which has some ties to Russia.
Nope. Half-Nepali and Half-Scot. British passport and citizen. Ties as in, yes I studied in Russia.

Russia Announces Massive Drive towards Technological Development and Digitization.
January 3rd, 2006.
Grand Duke George Mikhailovich, the heir to the Russian throne, has hosted a massive technological fair in Moscow yesterday in conjunction with the Russian government. The crown prince, who is a lawyer and administrator by occupation is also a man that is quite interested in the burgeoning technological and digital field. His funding of the fair from his own private bank account did not go unnoticed.

Throughout the fair, the Russian government has unveiled a lot of their plans for technological development of the Russian nation as well. The Russian Minister of Education, Vladimir Filipov was also present in the fair from where he took the stage alongside the Crown Prince of Russia.
One of the new devices that has been shown in the fair is the new collection of Russian microprocessors. For the military of Russia itself, and in particular, the Imperial Russian Cyberforce, the MCST-R500S is a new type of microprocessor that works best with supercomputers, which ironically honors it’s SPARC V8 instruction set. It is a dual core microprocessor with 500 MHz clock rate and 130 nm processing as well. It has around 45 million transistors within it and it’s power consumption is about 5W. The Russian government has stated that the MCST-R500S is going to be utilized in supercomputers for the Cyberforce of the Russian government.
The Russian Technological Giant Russon Corporation has announced that they shall also be investing a lot more into the microprocessor sector of technology. The corporation has announced that Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) computer and microprocessor architecture will be invested into by the corporation. The corporation has announced that they wish to create an indigenous mobile market in Russia itself, much like the Russian operating system RUSON, which is starting to gain popularity in Eastern Europe and the Slavic countries of Europe. Nonetheless, from what data we have at hand, 98% of all mobiles in the world have at least one ARM processor in them. Russon Corporation has announced that by using indigenous ARM architecture, they intend to release a brand of new mobiles into the international market, primarily targeting countries that use the Cyrillic alphabet, though they have stated that they wish for the line to be English friendly as well.

The MSCT-R1000 is also a new microprocessor is also a new 64-bit microprocessor introduced during the fair. It has been developed by the Moscow Center of SPARC Technology and has been fabricated by TSMC. It has a SPARC V9 architecture, has a quad-core system, and also has a VIS extensions 1 and 2. It also has a 32 KLB L1 data cache along with 2 MB L2 Cache ECC protection, along with an integrated memory controller, and integrated ccNUMA controller. It has a 1 GHz clock rate and 90 nm process. With 150 million transistors and 15W power consumption, the Russian government has announced that this microprocessor shall be integrated into civilian and administrative sectors of the economy, and multiple shares of these microprocessors were sold during the fair as well. It is expected that the MSCT-R1000 microprocessor will be used in management, banking and computerized business as well.

America brings the F-22 into service as Britain and France state the BAE Tempest/Dassault Aeronautica will come into service in 2007. Russia silent.
January 20th, 2006
The United States Air Force has announced that their fifth generation fighter and air superiority warplane, the F-22 has come into official service within the USAF. They have stated that the F-22’s developmental process had been increased after the Russian introduction of the SM-Boggrom. The British and French governments, who have been sharing a fifth generation development, have both stated that the Royal Air Force and the French Air Force would bring the BAE Tempest and the Dassault Aeronautica, both of whose final name has not been disclosed, would come into service by mid to late 2007. The USAF has stated that they shall keep a cap of 250 F-22 warplanes within their inventory and both the RAF and French Air Force has stated that they shall cap their levels of production of their own fifth generation plane at 120. The Russian government has not responded to the new news other than a customary congratulations from their ambassador in the Pentagon.

The American government has also stated that they have started the development of a new fifth generation warplane that would be open for imports and exports as well. The Russian government has stated in response that they do not have a new fifth generation plane in development, however that they have thought about it. Nevertheless, some members of the CSTO, like Iran, Ukraine and Yugoslavia have expressed interest in having fifth generation stealth planes within their own air forces as well. The Russian government has not made the SM-Boggrom open to export, however with these new developments has stated that they would be open to the development of a new fifth generation warplane. The Russian government has officially codenamed this hypothetical project as the SM PAK-FA. The Yugoslav government alongside the Iranian government have expressed their willingness to invest into such a project. However there has been no confirmation till now.

Monarchists Agitate for a Purple Revolution in Romania.
January 27th, 2006
Pro-Monarchists and Monarchists in Romania have been agitating for the restoration of the Romanian Kingdom ever since the fall of the communist regime in Romania. King Michael I of Romania, whilst a very beloved and trusted figure in the Romanian public, hasn’t been one to promote monarchism in Romania. In multiple interviews, the former King of Romania has stated that Monarchism in Romania would only return when the people wanted it to.

Nonetheless, Pro-Monarchist agitation has been on the rise monumentally in Romania, ever since the Yugoslav Restoration and the Russian Restoration. Both restorations have made pro-monarchist feelings all around Europe rise prominently, however most places have not achieved a plurality in monarchist feelings. Nonetheless, in Romania, a plurality has been achieved. According to a poll committed to by the BBC, 41% of the Romanian people would like to the see Monarchy restored and according to a poll conducted by the CNN, 44% of the Romanian people would like to see the monarchy restored. In total, around 43% of the people would like to see the monarchy restored in Romania. However what makes the situation more awkward for Romanian republicans is that despite not actually wanting to restore the monarchy, many Romanians would probably vote for the restoration out of respect for Michael I himself. Many Romanians, even those who do not support a restoration, hold Michael I in high esteem. Polls indicate that around 78% of the Romanian population hold Michael I in extremely high esteem.
Pro-Monarchist rallies in Romania are nothing new, however in 2001, around 150,000 Monarchists dropped into Bucharest agitating for a restoration. In 2004 after the Russian monarchy was restored, around 400,000 people all around Romania agitated for a restoration. The agitations have only gone worse, and have to some extent been able to freeze the economic reforms wanted by Romanian Prime Minister Calin Popescu-Tariceanu.

However after a full month of pro-monarchist rallies in Bucharest in which around 275,000 people in Bucharest alone have rallied for a monarchic restoration, the Romanian government has finally conceded after years of putting off of the issue. Prime Minister Popescu-Tariceanu has stated that the Romanian Senate and Chamber of Deputies have reached a decision to hold a governmental referendum on July 1st, 2006 regarding a monarchical restoration. He has stated that the referendum would allow for only two options, whether or not the citizens would prefer a restoration of the monarchy. The government has stated that they shall conduct the referendum with the full respect of the international guidelines for voting and shall bring international supervisors to supervise the referendum as well.

King Michael I has been indifferent with the recent events in Romania and in an interview yesterday evening, he reiterated his position that he would not support monarchical restoration if the majority of the population did not wish for it. Quite contradictory to what Romanian republicans want, this kind of response has only increased respect in the former King of Romania. Nevertheless, the current poll for restoration stands at:-
Yes: 44% (+1)
N0: 38%
Undecided: 18%

Russian Megaproject over after 10 years of construction.
February 3rd, 2006.
After a decade of observations, planning and meticulous construction, the extension of the Trans-Siberian Railroad to Yakutia and Anadyr has finally been completed after ten years of long construction. The Russian government and the Russian Royal Family was present at the opening of the railway.
The railway is unique in its position that the Russian government has used all available anti-snow technology to extend the line all the way to Yakutia, and the rail line to Anadyr breaks at 1 point as well. Then the railway turns east after Yakutsk and enters Amga and runs all the way through the Siberian Taiga into Magadan. From there the railway line stops. From there a new ferry service made specifically for the railway lines takes the passengers from Magadan to Palana. From Palana, the railway line continues on to all the way to Anadyr. The Railway line has used all the current technological advancements to make this possible, and the engineering feats accomplished in this project have been massive.

The economists of the International Monetary Fund have stated that the aeronautical costs and maritime costs of the transportation between the Russian Far East and the Russian heartlands will have decreased by at least $1.2 Billion annually, and the overall value of the region has increased from some $600 million to $1.4 billion already. It is expected that the previously rural areas that were unreachable except via air will experience a boom in development, which the Russian government has stated has been its goal in furthering their No Poverty Plan.
Nonetheless, as one megaproject comes to a close, the Russian and Central Asian governments have been discussing a potential rail line from Kazan to Astana and all the Central Asian capitals. Talks between the Ministers of Economics and Finance are expected to take place regarding this proposition.

CSTO convenes in Belgrade to discuss a final solution to the Moldovan-Transnistrian Conflict.
February 2nd, 2006.
The Collective Security Treaty Organization have convened in Belgrade to find a final solution to the Moldovan and Transnistrian problem. Both countries are de-facto a part of the CSTO, however both countries refuse to acknowledge that the other exists as well. The Russian, Ukrainian, Yugoslav, and Kazakh governments who were undoubtedly the heavyweights in the negotiations all stated that they wished for a mutual compromise that would be acceptable for all.
The CSTO yesterday released their propositions to both the Transnistrian president, Igor Smirnov and the Moldovan President, Vladimir Voronin. The so called Belgrade Propositions conclude the following:-
- The restoration of Transnistria into the Moldovan Republic.
- The Federalization of the Moldovan Republic.
- The recognition of the rights of the Russians, Ukrainians and Bulgarians living in Transnistria.
- The option of secession for federalization on the condition that a free and fair referendum in which 65% of the population vote in favor of secession be provided during federalization.
The Moldovan government has been slightly hesitant about the proposal, however the Transnistrian government has stated that if the proposal is accepted by the Moldovan government, then they would be more than willing to restore the old borders. Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin stated after the convention that ‘This is a most peculiar proposal. However we may have to negotiate on it’.

The Republic of Moldova and Republic and Transnistria reunite to form the Federal Democratic Republic of Moldavia (FDRM).
February 28th, 2006.
In accordance with the Belgrade Proposals earlier this month, Transnistria and Moldova have reunited with one another. The Russian government has also announced that with the reunification, the job of the 2000 Russian troops in Transnistria is over, and thus shall be withdrawing from said region. The new Moldavian President, Vladimir Voronin has stated that:-
“The reunification of our peoples could not have happened without the aid of the CSTO. For this the Moldavian people are forever thankful and grateful.”
Moldavia has also reaffirmed her diplomatic inclusion within the CSTO, much to the dismay of many who hoped that Moldavia would leave the Russian sphere of influence after the reunification.

did the uk and france used magic to develop 5th gen aeroplane? cuz the tempest otl with more advance technology still need a lot of time to develop (2018 to estimated 2035) and maybe made boggrom as export like f-35 and pak-fa as non export main fighter
I don't want sound crazy but the best person would be Berlusconi himself.
Berlusconi was an excellent politician and a statesman.
In 1994 he won but did not govern because after 6 months the League betrayed the agreement and the technical government of Dini arrived and then the leftist government that gave us the euro.
In 2001, on the eve of the crisis and subsequent World War caused by the attacks of September 11, Berlusconi was re-elected. The majority contains treacherous and unstable elements: Casini, Fini, Bossi. However it goes on for 5 years, the first time in the Republic. Istat says that over a million and a half jobs have been created in the five-year period, the deficit is reduced, the economy is growing despite the euro and the global wars and the financial crisis, in Italy high-speed trains and a variant of the pass are built and a huge number of other minor works (4th Milan-Bergamo lane, passing through Mestre for example). Italy is recognized at the US Congress as one of the 3 most solid and reliable partners and allies (two other Canada and the United Kingdom) with an ovation to Berlusconi that only Lech Walesa had previously had. Foreign investments in Italy are flying high.
In 2006 Prodi was elected with very little margin. During less than two years of agony that will bring and want to cancel 5 years of reforms made by Berlusconi. Another legacy that remains of Prodi is the disaster of the management of the Col Fiorito earthquake in Umbria
2008 wins Berlusconi. World recession erupts in 2007. Aquila earthquake in 2008. European central bank run by geniuses raises rates and crisis extends endlessly to Europe, worst recession since 1929 run by clueless idiots and with Obama in USA incapable of everything. Italy in 2011, before the coup d'etat orchestrated by France and Germany using Napolitano and the European organs, grew by over 1% and overcame the crisis. Monti enters and recession and depression arrive until 2017.
If you really want to have newer face that person would be Gianfranco Fini. He practically was a younger and less radical Berlusconi and was more open to dialog with the left. If the House of Freedoms win the election, Fini would have almost certenainly been nominated as President and would have almost certeinly won. If you want a more cente-right person to win that would have been Casini. However that is very unlikely because he wasn't very liked neither in right or in the left.
You can also have Berlusconi being nominated as president with Fini as Prime Minister (IMO best option)
You need to absolutely avoid Monti and if you can Napolitano to have more stable politics and less interference from the EU. You also have to take into account that in TTL his (Berlusconi )popularity would have been highter because of no war with Iraq, no bombing of Lybia, less immigration amd a more friendly Russia (Berlusconi is a personal friend of Putin in OTL).
It isn't related but if the house of freedoms wins can we have the yes winnig in the 2011 nuclear referendum. I have allways like nuclear energy and it would also help to bring down energy prices. I also think that in this TL the South Stream pipeline would have been built.
And that the end. Sorry if it is too long

Nah, the name itself is Tempest, but it's actually the OTL BAE Replica which was an actual project just understaffed and underpaid that fizzled out. The name's changed ITTL.
