I had this thought and wondered, if Soviet Union didn't collapse in 1991 as it did in my timeline but instead it survives a bit longer in the 1990's and maybe instead collapses around 2001, which is 10 years later. How would a delayed decade Soviet Union collapse affect our history? You guys might think this is an usual, odd and unnecessary question but a lot of things happened through 1991-2001 like the Digital Age, rise of the Internet, 9/11, etc. So how would things change if Soviet Union still exists in the 1990's? How would it need to sustain itself in order to survive for 10 more years starting from early 90's? What would've happened right after it collapsed in early 2000's in this alternate timeline and what would our present day world be like? Would a tough figure like Putin or a leader that's similar rose up in this alternate Russia as it did in our timeline?
