True, the lobby simply isn't there. But a lot of the first round of Bolshiviks were Jewish and even though Stalin was a murderous asshole to them too, this is the moment to reestablish those relations. And we've got plenty of equipment to spare. Merkava based on T-55, we might get a T-M72 as a...
In fact, I would go one step further and remove the SSRs totally. I'd go oblast as the highest level before USSR. I'd even drop or switch out the R for P(eople).
If I understood various people correctly the issue was the plots made no sense and collectivizing broke individual incentive. So...

So what I believe is that with the much reduced loss of lives we won't get the revolution twice. I still believe we'll get the Kerensky...
I disagree. The Stans have extremely valuable resources for both regular industry and IT / Semi-conductor / solar pannel industry, which are mainstays of our economy now. Now we could do the American thing and base them and suck their resources out with money, but the OTL Russians are the reason...
I'd love to, but unfortunately zero time. I'm glad I automated most of the work I did for the other thread. Btw, happy to fill in the GDP, country budget and military budget etc numbers for this one too.

Darn, looking at his list of things he did I can't really blame her. Though goodwill unfortunately also counts for a lot if you don't want to suffer a too negative reaction. Like fatal lead ingestion
I have an issue with almost all plans: they cost goodwill, time and money. The USSR had to rebuild itself and the Warsaw pact, while still keeping somewhat up with the West. So before you all start spending billions, what will we not spend them on?
And again, please keep in mind that something...
Been reading some Klingon stuff again, so a bit of a Star Trek twist:
United Federation of States, UFS. Or if we go for a confederation, then obviously United Confederation of States, UCS
T-TIP was a steaming pile of Capitalist greed overruling sensible protection of health, safety and environment. I hope it was adjusted on those points.
I'm with Kriss for the rest, though I'm very wary to make China seem a good partner to anyone. It's our direct competitor and the greatest...
Honestly, abandoning the regimes in the Warsaw pact as well as most of the other regimes they supported might be political suicide, but for the USSR itself it would be great. I just don't see a feasible option, aside from going to a more NATO like approach to only care for military bases as hard...
