This seems to be an unused PoD, but I think it could have significant effects. I think the 1968 invasion was one of the USSR's worst foreign policy mistakes. It was completely unnecessary because Dubcek had never shown any indications that he would leave the Warsaw Pact. It worsened the Sino-Soviet split and weakened support for the Soviet Union in leftist movements around the world. What if the Soviets decided not to invade, and let Czechoslovakia's communists determine their own domestic policy?
