What if the Soviet Union followed China's reform policies of economic liberalisation, while maintaining the Soviet Political structure, in an analogous way to how China has adopted 'State Capitalism' while maintaining the Chinese Communist party system.

The collapse of the Soviet Union can be attributed to several factors, one of the major contributing factors being the adoption of liberalising soviet politics under Gorbechev, but not liberalising economic practices.

The discussion is, that during the 1980s, what if the Soviet Union begins implementing widespread economic reforms, under the form of 'State Capitalism', and maintains communist party rule in Russia and Eastern Europe.
