i'm going over the notes in my ASB ATL again (i'm on version 8 now :p ) and just got to the "Butterfly Effects and the Consequences of Divergence" section. one of the sub-sections for this is on the Soviet Union not existing and notes the changes to geopolitics that resulted from its dissolution. until now, i've had it that, without the Soviet Union coming to be, Russia retains the parts that it lost (refresher: eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia) through to the present-day. now, though, i'm starting to wonder if the loss of these regions was inevitable regardless of if the Soviet Union existed. thoughts?
