Maybe nature sights are very popular. Like the taiga forests of Siberia, or the caves in central Asia, or preserves with Siberian tigers.

Considering the popularity of National Parks in the U.S. in OTL, this sounds most plausible. The only problem that I could see would be transportation and lodging. But this should not be too difficult to fix. "If you build it, they will come."

I think Teg might have been referring to Soviets going to America on holidays. Although, I do think there would have been opportunities for the more well connected party members to afford the odd overseas jaunt. I could also see some sort of trans-Comintern tourist agency being set up and supported by the various Comintern countries to encourage tourism within the Communist sphere, on the grounds of building solidarity and comradeship between socialist countries, whilst also building up the tourism industries in the less developed countries.

Yeah, that's who will probably be the most mobile in the USSR for sometime. I should've clarified that the question was mostly referring to modern times.

You would also see a prominence of socialist "mission trips" in third-world countries and the less developed Comintern nations.

Hey, the former user here E. Burke asked me to ask "where the chat log is? The one about the pro-fascist propaganda film?"

Looking at how that guy acts reminds me how it seems that ITTL AH.com allows a lot more insulting and grating assholes than in OTL AH.com and how a lot of them wouldn't last very long here.

The reason why they tolerate them is that they are pretty much the norm ITTL.

This is a world where ideology is more successful and enduring. This is a world where a surviving metropolitan European empire coexisting with two socialist stalwarts.

One world power continues to embrace conformity and consensus, while another allows public nudity and instructs people on polyamory.

Americans live in an Information Age while being indoctrinated into a anarcho-syndicalist ideal.

Divisions between states are far greater than OTL, and people more or less accept having that belligerence on public threads.

Wasn’t there a literal RuleBritannia who was banned for expressing similar opinions to the one in Reds?

Long-time lurker here, dropping by to say that this is a very great timeline, although communism and the like is far out of my depth.

That said, all I can contribute is the flag of the UASR, which I cleaned up a little (read: traced for four hours on Inkscape). Should make the flag a little nicer to look at.

I hope this is to your satisfaction, will eagerly await for new updates.

I was here when he got banned. It was for something gloriously trivial/insane, although it showed his moral degerancy because he didn't like the Welsh or Welsh.

It's the first time I see an American Flag, that looks nothing like the regular flag. I love it.:winkytongue: Nice job.:)
