Something I just saw over on the Reddit page posted by Panzer that I thought everyone here will find very interested:
An ATL for the TNO world in which West Russian Revolutionary Front emerges triumphant.... Sort of.
With a POD of Speidel's counter-coup against the SS failing, resulting in the SS attempting to overthrow Hitler... Only for the coup to also fail, hence sparking off the German Civil War years earlier, and throwing the entire Unity-Pakt into utter chaos while the Russians took advantage of the situation to push forward. This allowed the WRRF to not just push the Nazi out of Eastern Europe entirely, but march all the way to the gates of Germania itself, and laying siege to the Reich's capital.
In desperation, just as the Russians entered his 'Welthauptstadt', out of spite Hitler ordered the use of nuclear weapons, committing suicide by destroying the city and all the Russian forces surrounding it. With nukes also being deployed against targets across Western Russia (Though not nearly as extensive as one might expect, since the Nazi nuclear arsenal was not as well developed during the early 1950s, not to mention half the silos being controlled by the SS instead of Hitler's loyalist).
Hence, by the game's starting date in this ATL, you have the Russians controlling the eastern parts of Germany and large swaths of Central and Eastern Europe... Just barely, since the Front doesn't even control all of Russia and are already having a hard time even holding on to the parts of their homeland under their rule. Hence to say that they struggle in holding on to their new conquest will be an understatement.
Meanwhile, Himmler and the SS controls what is left German under the ATL version of the Burgundian System, while holding on to what is left of the Unity Pakt....
Overall, we will end up with a world that is no better off, if not actually worst off, compared to the one it diverged from.
I, for one, dread to even imagine what types of unspeakable atrocities they Russian would have most likely committed across the parts of Central and Eastern Europe that they control, not just out of vengeance, but also simply to survive as unlike the OTL Soviet Union, they don't even have anything resembling a industrial base or an economy left anymore. The same goes for the rump Nazi Reich under the rule of Himmler, looting all of Western Europe dry in an attempt build-up enough strength to repel the 'Slavic hoards' out of the Fatherland.
It does make me wonder how the United States and OFN would react to all of this....
