Imagine literal communists (missile operators would be indoctrinated to the core with Marxism to ensure reliability) saving people, instead of participating in mass murder.
The Death of Russia - TL
- Thread starter Sorairo
- Start date
there must be at least one survivor from a deep-enough silo that can explain their thought process regarding that decision
Yeah. I just can't believe that all or even half of these commanders refused from launch due humanitarian reasons. Bigger reasons were pretty surely fear of Anpilov even after his death, many of them just malfuncted and some were destroyed by nashi/NATO missiles.
Not sure what was reason for nashi side. But probably they used many of them commiting genocides, nuking of commie bases and NATO managed to destroy lot of their nukes.
This is action #6.
If you didn't have five priors this would have, at worst, been a Formal Warning to keep Current Politics in Chat. However, you do have five priors.
Kicked for a week.
Six actions = burning the candle at both ends. That is a sub-optimal path.
As for world cinema, April 10th, 1996 is the biggest loss to cinema and film preservation since the 1967 MGM vault fire. The Lenfilm archive didn't survive the atomic bombing of Petrograd. Many camera negatives for Soviet films didn't survive, butterflying away the Blu-Ray releases of Andrei Rublev and many other works. In fact, more Russian films remain exclusive to VHS and Laserdisc ITTL than IOTL. Some Soviet films that survive IOTL are lost films ITTL, and some films only survive thanks to VHS and Laserdisc releases outside the Soviet Union.

I think that also applies to every kind of media within Russia. If it hasn't been released outside of Russia by the time of April 10th then it's most likely gone.
Anything within Russia was likely either previously destroyed by the Communists or Fascists, destroyed by the nuclear blasts and fireballs, or are so radioactive that they need to be destroyed.
Every medium from print to tape, film, hard drives, ands disc for everything ever recorded like music, television, movies, games, and movies.
Yeah. Everything between Urals and St. Petersburg and Arctic Sea and Caucasus are basically destroyed. Perhaps something like 90 % of famous buildings are destroyed. Culture and history are mostly gone. Fortunately Petrograd government saved some treasures. Siberia, FEK and Pushkingrad must reconstruct their identitet. And future states of Western Russia must create new identitet.
Oh right, though even that's up in the air since the people there do not have much love for Russia.
A good portion of the population there were either transported to Siberia forcefully by the Soviet Union or are currently undergoing a religious fervour that could end with all things "Russian" being destroyed.
The future culture of western Russia, it could go in a lot of ways:
- The survivors take a look at the FEK, and decide to start their own revival of Orthodox Christianity;
- The survivors take a look at Siberia, and decide to bring back Slavic polytheism from the dead;
- The survivors decide, just like Vladimir, that Russia is dead, and reinvent themselves as something other than Russian;
- The survivors are just too shell-shocked to think about culture - Russia truly becomes the black hole it's stereotyped as.
I wonder if there be many surviving bands of diehards on both sides who keep fighting against each other, NATO forces, UN peacekeepers and raiding to survive in fallout Russia.
I can see some kind of low level insurgencies going on for a few years as NATO forces hunt them and surviving officials down for trial.
At least the old Cold warriors finally get to live out their dream of invading Mother Russia or what is left of her.
Oddly enough I imagine a few anime songs or Highway to hell playing as NATO forces are rushing over the borders in one great wave of men and equipment.

"Oh how the turn tables"
-Latvia and Estonia when re-occupying the territory that was annexed three years prior

Especially since they were occupied by the Russian for literally centuries
You just know Cruel Angel's Thesis is going to be the first piece of post-nuclear apocalypse music some of the survivors are going to hear.
Could be worse, some member of the Italian armed forces with a pitch black sense of humour might blast Cristina D'Avena theme songs at full volume while traversing the wasteland, and don't even get me started on a hypothetical Hispanic contingent, the likelihood of the Dragon Ball Z Spanish language OPs being played would approach absolute certainty.
Speaking of games, the creator of Tetris moved out of Russia in 1991, but didn't create the Tetris Company until 2 months after the nukes went flying ITTL. I wonder if there are any effects here.
