And what might this be?


It's a wikibox timeline.

No, originality has never been your strong point, has it?

That's not nice. I once made a wikibox where President Carter rescued the Iranian hostages.

What ever you say. What is this about anyway?

Do you know that coup in the Soviet Union in August 1991?

Yeah, the one that stopped a treaty that would have reformed the Soviet Union. I wonder what your PoD.

Actually, this TL is Brazilian based, I just said that to humour you.

OK, name one early 90s Brazilian politician without using Wikipedia.

*sighs* Yes, you guessed the PoD.

1-0 to me. Why are we having this schizophrenic conversation anyway?

It's how all the cool kids start their timelines.

Just get on with your timeline that you know you won't finish.

Sure thing.

A long time ago (July 2016 to be exact which actually sounds quite recent), I started (more like wrote one short opening of) a timeline about a world where the New Union Treaty was signed and the Union of Sovereign States was founded. I had actually mapped about quite a bit of the timeline, but it quickly became apparent I had neither the writing skills nor general knowledge to write a full-blown timeline. Since then, my historical and political knowledge has expanded a great deal and I recently decided to revisit both my PoD and my timeline. Inevitably, I'm probably going to spend a lot of time talking about other things apart from the Soviet Union. My primary goal of this TL is to explore the international consequences of a reborn Soviet Union. I will also dip into Soviet, American, British, Canadian, French, any other country's politics and try to make the best and most plausible timeline I can.

If there's anything you feel seems implausible, feel free to tell me (constructive criticism is always welcome, this is my first serious timeline after all) and I hope you enjoy! The first instalment should be ready tomorrow.
