Let's say Britain takes an interest in Azerbaijani oil following WWI and opts to box the Soviets out of the Caucasus - supporting Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and North Caucasia (the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus). The Soviets thus don't have the oil of Baku.
AND the Japanese hold on to the North of Sakhalin, where there was also some oil.
How do the Soviets fare without the oil? They probably stick to the NEP longer, needing to trade grain for money and fuel.
If Hitler still comes to power, how does this affect the Great Patriotic War of TTL?
