  1. Communist Greece = Larger Soviet navy?

    Assuming the percentages agreement is either altered or butterflied completely due to a slightly differetnt WW2 (see For All Time) and Greece goes red during its civil war (it got pretty damn close IOTL while almost completely unsupported), with Stalinists winning the power struggle within the...

  2. WI: Stalin wants to build a railway from Amur to the Bering Strait

    Okay, this is a random hypothetical that came to me while I reading a Stephen Kotkin book about Stalin's 5-year plans. Basically, during the height of Stalinist hyper-industrialization, Uncle Joe comes up with another crazy idea for a socialist mega-project, not disimilar to the Kolyma Highway...

  3. In a Fatherland-like scenario, would rump USSR try to annex former Manchukuo to compensate for their population and territory losses in the west?

    Mongolia and Turkestan too, though Manchuria is a far more valuable piece of real estate. Assume, for the sake of the hypothetical, that Japan still goes down and WAllied L-L keeps flowing and manages to somewhat prop up what's left of the Soviet Union.

  4. Could a more hardline (Stalinist-lite) USSR survive to this day, even after a complete economic implosion?

    Like a 22.400.000 km-long North Korea, of sorts. Complete with the military being the only semi-functional state organ, near-famine conditions being the norm and the very thought of 'national self-determination' netting someone at least a 3-generation long kin punishment in the...

  5. Stalinist USSR surviving to this day

    The concept here is as follows: Could a Soviet Union ruled by hardline Stalinists since 1953 hang on to life in spite of economic implosion, largerly via violence & repression, and exist 'till this very day? If so, what would be the effects on it and the world in general?

  6. A prolonged Battle of France causes Op. Barbarossa to be postponed until early 1943.

    If so, do the Germans manage to reach/breach the Stalin line? And how much of its population and industry does the USSR manage to save compared to OTL?

  7. Grand Duchy of Finland-like Russian Balkans?

    Assuming the Russians had taken an earlier, successful shot at capturing Istanbul/Constantinople, could they have carved GDoF-like autonomous duchies/principalities out of the Balkans (Serbia, Greece, Wallachia, Moldavia e.t.c...) in order to establish a hinterland west of Tsargrad? And how...

  8. Could a hypothetical German-Soviet-Italian Axis subdue allied N. Africa and Levant?

    Assuming Operation Pike was carried out, and the USSR remained an Axis co-belligerent longer (though obviously not forever), would that have enabled the Germans/Italians to carry out a more decisive campaign in N. Africa and the Med? And, could they've split with them the former Entente mandates...
