So the Soviet Union mostly ignored Allende's Chile despite Allende seeking to establish strong relations between Chile and the Soviet Union. I've read a few off-hand remarks by commentators that if the Soviet Union had sent aid to Chile from the start of Allende's regime (he was elected in 1970), Chile's economy wouldn't have collapsed and Allende wouldn't have been murdered in '73.
So WI the Soviets had sent significant aid to Allende and established strong trade-links with the new friendly government of Chile? Would a stronger Chilean economy allow Allende to resist both internal rightists and the CIA? Would strong Soviet involvement provoke a stronger reaction from the USA? (And how could the USA react more strongly? From what I've read, they seem to have done everything bar send the Marines in OTL.) How might a strong Soviet reaction effect the rest of Latin America?
