USSR Comes Right Back

Belarus could be made to easily rejoin this Communist Russian State. I mean they are still a command economy and want to join with Russia now.

Ukraine probably not so much. Strong independence movement. Moldova would but its separated by Ukraine which would make it difficult. Might be a war to reunite it with Romania in that case.

Expect conflicts in the Caucus and a lot of internal upheaval. Economic disaster.

Massive Emigration.

Ukraine is a highly divided nation, still them joining a new union having left the old one is unlikely. Even so it is possible as is some sort of loose confederation, like the CIS only workable.;)

Oddly enougth Kazhakstan might join a union with Russia & Belarus too, if Russia seemed to be recovering...
 
Considering the success of 5 year plans industrialization wise, if they keep it less brutal, possibly. They'll probably end up similar to China economically, except with a lot more resources to exploit, they may actually climb to the top when it comes to economic success.

Except these are explicitly capitalist oligarchs, and more importantly, the way the Communists come back into power in this scenario is the promise of getting rid of people like that.
Putin promissed the same thing.

Actualy, as someone above pointed out a "communist" Russia would probably look like Putin's Russia in many ways since Putin reforms brought back "the good old ways" of USSR.
 
Yes and no. It would look similar to Putin's in some ways, but what would probably go further when it comes to economic control. I submit it look closer to China at the end of the day.
