The Evil Empire: A Timeline

October 1917: The bolsiavek revolution is victorious over the quasi democratic forces of Aleksander Kerensky. The Soviet ComIntern convenes and establishes the need for a world comunist revolution.

1928 Premeir Stalin establishes Stalinism as the leading force both in the Soviet Union and the COmmunist International.

1948: Premier Stalin begins invasions and infiltrations in eastern Europe to spread international Stalinist comunism. Stalin declares the west in general and the United States in particular to be the enemy of the Comunist revolution and the Proletariat of the world. The Soviet COmintern begins infiltrating western Europe and the U.S> as well as the south East Asian rim.

1949: North Korea, North Vietnam and China become Stalinist Comunist states and swear loyalty to the Soviet COmIntern.

The Soviet Union test initiates its first atomic weapon.

1950, Stalin orders Kim Il Sung to invade South Korea, an unprepared United Nations/U.S. U.K. COalition responds and after months of bloody fighting pushes the Communist forces back across the 38th Parrelel.

1951: Stalin ordiers Communist china to enter the war.

During the House UnAmerican Activities COmmitee hearings, the Soviet Agent on the commitee makes sure that HUAC never interrogates or jails any genuine communist infiltrators. Senator McCarthy is so easily flattered and led that the agent's task is childishly easy.

July 1953: Stalin dies, and appoint Mvasiliev Molotov to succeed him. Molotov begins a series of "Negotiations" that end the Korean war in a stalemate in November of 1953. The Communist International has learned what they wanted to know about the West. If they can be manuevered into back right wing fascist dictators that the native populations will hate, the world COmmunist revolution can proceed.

Just so you know, Moscow never really could just order all those Communist nations around (any more then the USA could just demand UK or France to do something).
 
1954: The North Vietnamese Forces at Dien Bien Phu defeat colonial French forces, executing even the survivors of French Mobile group 100. Hanoi swear loyalty to the Communist International Commitee.

1954-1956 Premier Molotov back burners the American Sleeper program and orders a full court press o nthe Soviet Space program. Molotov also orders his C.I.A> Mole to repeatedly hammer home the idea that AMerica cannot trust Democracies to stay friendly and must depend on Fascim to fight Communism, overthrowing democracies if need be to install right wing dictators they supposedly can "Trust".

October 7th, 1957: The U.S.S.R. succesfully launches the "Traveller" sattelite into orbit. this grants them prestige and also proves that the U.S.S.R. now can laung a nuclear payload as an intercontinental ballistic weapon.
 
1959: Fidel Castro and Ernesto Gueverra overthrow the corrupt Batista regime in Cuba. As expected and hoped for the AMericans backed a corrupt fascist and the Proletariat of Cuba rejected him in favor of the COmIntern leaders Castro and Gueverra. Fidel Castro swear Cuba's loyalty to the COmmunist international.

1960: Despite the efforts of the AMerican space program, the Soviet Union succesfully launches first a dog, then a man, Colonel Yuri Gargarin into Space. Gargarin succesfully orbits the earth several times.

1961, The Soviet mole i nthe C.I.A> is now a leading advisor at the agency due to his flawless ability to parrot AMerican reactionary dogma with exact presision. He convices the Kennedy Admministration to trust the Diem Regime in South Vietnam and lend them unquestioning military and financial assitence.

The Mercury Program finnaly bears fruit and as it does Kennedy makes the bold promise to send an American to the moon and bring him home. The Soviet move ahead with sending a woman into orbit and conducting other orbita experiements.
 
Not really, considering your already-silly timeline.
Maybe an invasion from Mars would be appropriate.
Or a Fourth Reich suddenly able to rule Europe again with the help of the Soviets.
As much fun as that would be, I would like to keep things reletivly within a "Conservative red baiting definition" of what happened or could have happened IOTL.
