Anyone else find it odd that AH is the only place where a wank is considered better than a screw?
1. Absorb Belarus and Kazakhstan.
2. Avoid the failed economic shock therapy, implement Yavlinsky's 500 Days programme instead for better handled structural reforms that avoid the mass consolidation of power. Use the Polish method of post-communist transition to capitalism.
3. Halve their nuclear arsenal, then halve it again. Get rid of unreliable and outdated systems. Divert resources to upgrading their submarine fleet and combat troops.
4. Revert to 1.
5. Use number two to avoid demographic collapse.

Avoid the August coup and have the New Union Treaty implemented. “Russia” becomes a federation of Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Belarus and Ukraine with a common president, armed forces and foreign policy.
As said by others crash course scrap all old military forces and consolidate on a high tech western style small peacetime force with only a few hundred nukes.
Otherwise renounce militarism/foreign policy aggression and do everything conceivable to portray the new Russia as peaceful, liberal and European (realistically this probably would generate a very negative reaction in Russia that would swing them back the other way politically though).Join the EU and NATO, and use all means possible to portray China as the new baddie and Russia as a strategic country to contain them.
Economically I guess a slow transition from communism and opening up to the world, avoiding letting mobsters effectively take over the economy, and avoiding the breakdown in law and order that followed the OTL collapse.

No Proto-USSR please, by Russia , i meant Russia. The Union Treaty was very unrealistic anyways to make any real headway.
Was it not voted on and approved, simply not implemented? But apologies, the rest of what I said applies to Russia either way.
voted and approved.....yes. however the treaty made all the republics quasi-independent; like a more tightly knit commonwealth than an union. They could have their own diplomacy; only a shared military and going to war as one; absolutely no central power.
You could have the communists win the 1996 election? They probably would've had it not been for the American interference. Anyone would do a better job than the embarrasment that was Yeltsin.
It would not have turned out well.

There simply was no money left to do what he wanted; instead he would have to use force.
Go back to true socialist values. Stuff like the cooperative farms and workshops in the early USSR. As soon as they were successful, the Soviets reclassified them, nationalized them, and took all the savings and profits. Basically prevent everything from being sold off too cheaply to the former Communist Party members and such, though it would be better if the reforms had started before the collapse.
Was there a way to avert the debt default that Russia went through? Because averting that could help Russia's economy.
I'd say have democracy survive (and not just in name only) could also help with the diplomacy factor? (Although that would be very difficult. Shock therapy would need to have never arisen and the Constitutional Crisis of 1993 resolved without military force, among other factors.)

No way. Depopulation was predetermined by WWII losses with a little help by famines.
Emm... You mean like Crimea grab?
The only way to do that was a Russian Pinochet with tough anti-Western policies.
Consistently high oil prices from 1999 onwards. Something has to offset the shale revolution - perhaps some US domestic concern regarding the environmental impact of shale oil exploitation.
Russia has to do something regarding high male mortality rates and declining birth rates. Maybe outlaw abortion to mitigate the low fertility rate?

He wasn't and he isn't. All the bosses in his party are capitalists. He's for the patriotic type of crony capitalism.
