This is an old revision of the document!
The 2013 Turtledove winning timeline for New Cold War Period features the real world excentric, nationalist politician become President of Russia after a cascade of events including Yeltsin's assassination during the 1991 coup attempt. He then remains in power until he is overthrown by a popular revolution in 2003. The Soviet Union (minus the Baltic republics) is not dissolved but turned into a fascist-esque federation known as the Union of Independent States, that launches or gets involved in wars in the dissolving Yugoslavia, Romania, Estonia, Afghanistan and Pakistan besides doing its best to discourage its member republics from breaking away.
