Let say Soviet Union lose baku oil in 1918 permanently and are forced to develop Volga oil fields instead
Soviet don't get imperial russian gold back in 1920 of 50 million pound. That two factors slash Soviet industrial output in half because foreign exchange shortage . Soviet could not import large scale turnkey factories form west in 1920s. So that Soviet have 10000 tanks instead of 20000 tanks in iotl in 1941. So that Soviet are weaker in 1941
Because Soviet are weaker than iotl in 1941 they choose defensive strategy .bulk red army stay close to Stalin line
Could Soviet stop German at dvina- Dnieper line with defensive strategy and lower industrial output?
