The third scenario, China decides to bail out the Soviet Union of Kazakhstan and Russia is just left shaking their fist about it.

[@Voided191]

Unironically what I was expecting

[@Megukagi]

honestly that scenario sounds interesting, though I imagine Asia would be a chaotic battle royale in such a timeline. the Chinese sphere in china, north korea and central asia, the Russian sphere in North Asia and Eastern Europe (though Poland, Romania and anything west of those would side with the EU), the Saudis and Iranians in the middle East, the rise of India in South Asia, and US allies of Japan, South Korea and Australia in the western pacific

[@InfernosReaper]

Considering how much China has to gain with an ally in the UN, it would actually be plausible for them to support this Soviet Union

[@CalmFountainPen-xl8go]

Don't forget south east Asia and ASEAN!​@Megukagi

[@bredoom]

China could help Kazakhstan with rebuilding the soviet union out of central Asian countries

[@timononp737]

The reason why Kazakhstan was the last to leave the USSR is because Nursultan Nazarbayev (the first president of Kazakhstan from 1991 to 2019) could become the next leader of the Soviet Union after Gorbachev. The Soviet elite wanted to see someone non-Slavic or even non-European as a leader because it could resolve conflicts between different ethnic groups and reduce national movements within the Soviet Union.

[@katarishigusimokirochepona6611]

Just being pedantic here but: Stalin wasn't a Slav (Georgians are arguably European...I only say arguably because some people argue against it); Lenin was ethnically half-Asian; Yeltsin had visible Asian ancestry.

[@timononp737]

⁠​Yeah, but Lenin and Stalin were not the only men who ruled the Soviet Union. There were also Khrushchev (Russian, ruled from 1953 to 1964) Brezhnev (Russian, ruled from 1964 to 1982), Andropov (mostly Ukrainian, ruled from 1982 to 1984), Chernenko (mostly Ukrainian, ruled from 1984 to 1985). Yeltsin was a rival to Gorbachev and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. So as loyal and experienced state worker as Nazarbayev (who ruled the Kazakh SSR at that time) with typically proletarian past (he used to work at a metallurgical plant) was a perfect candidate for this role.

I feel like the most realistic way for Kazakhstan to be recognized as the USSR is if the new Russia wanted to completely distance themselves from the image of the USSR. Essentially recognizing Kazakhstan's claims as a means of desovietization. How likely is this? Still very much unlikely, but I could at least see it potentially happening.

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

Finally someone is making a video about this idea

[@azeke8]

Wrong numbers regarding GDP and army size. At the time of collapse, Soviet Kazakhstan had the same GDP per capita as Soviet Russia and had 350,000 active personnel in the armed forces. There were also 104 R-36M nuclear ICBM launch sites and 40 Tu-95 strategic bombers with nukes stationed there at the time of collapse. Also, the reason why Kazakhstan was the last to leave was because Nazarbayev, the leader of Kazakhstan, was supposed to be the next leader of USSR after Gorbachev.

[@vrdfrdcf]

For the second scenario, the European Axis could win WW2, or the war drags into the late 1940s with a much more damaged and radioactive Europe, unless this causes Italy to have too much power at the negotiating table with the surrender of France that causes them to not capitulate. For the former, the UK would rush to the negotiating table to save their territory and prepare for war by early 1941. Germany doesn't have to aid the Italians, and can start the invasion of the USSR earlier. The USSR would also mobilize their forces closer to the border, but this just means that they would what forces they had quicker. The Germans manage to take Moscow just before the invasion halts, and morale and the logistical importance of Moscow cause the USSR to be in a far weaker position. More resources that were used on the UK are also used in the USSR, and the US might join the war later due to the UK not actually fighting Germany in late 1941. The war would be a grind for the Germans, but they could take enough territory and enough of the USSR population that the USSR can't draft them, nor equip them due to less of an industrial base. Also, there are questions over if Iran would be invaded by the British if they refused to allow the supply of lend lease to the USSR through their borders depending on the peace treaty they sign with Germany. If Germany does manage to win WW2, they will either collapse in on itself due to its plunder-based economy and dealing with too much rebellion within its controlled territories, perhaps with the military couping the government to establish more friendly relations with the rest of the world and to limit German imperial ambitions to something more achievable. Japan might not surrender due to a lack of any fears of the USSR occupying them. This means a much more bloody Pacific campaign for America, with it having to extinguish not just the Japanese forces in Japan, but all throughout East Asia. The communists wouldn't control all of mainland China, but they could still have large enclaves scattered in the north and west. It would take a while for the KMT to consolidate control over the entirety of what we call China. Some parts of Russia not controlled by the Germans, like Kazakhstan, may gain independence from the USSR, but its a toss up on how much Siberia balkanizes. There would be no Cold War, and the Americas are likely more progressive due to a lack of a Cold War with the USSR that led to the redscare and Operation Condor. The European empires would be so much more broke, and Marshall plan aid being so much thinner, that colonialism ends quite a bit faster, and with less formalised agreements in favour of the former European Empires. America might return to a degree of, while not isolationism, non-interventionism outside of the Monroe doctrine. Global trade will, in contribution to this, also be much weaker in the long run as East Asia and especially Europe are much poorer. There is also the possibility that India isn't partitioned because the UK can't afford the resources to oversee the partition because they are still worrying about their military buildup to fight the Germans again.

[@Darkness-yn5us]

@@vrdfrdcf I think the ripple effects of such a scenario would ensure that WW2 is fundamentally altered in ways which cannot be predicted

[@vrdfrdcf]

@@Darkness-yn5us What else would it ripple into? Past territorial ambitions in MENA, what would make this scenario different to normal Axis victory scenarios, which, while unique, usually have some key notes for the key types of Axis victory scenarios? I guess one thing that could be added is that Italy is broken into more states because it is considered dangerous. Since some of the northern states/the northern state would likely be socialist, it could serve as an inspiration for other socialist movements.

If whoever's in the Kazakh government is insane enough to keep claiming to be the Soviet Union despite the crippling debt and the imminent Russian invasion, they'd probably be insane enough to threaten Russia with the nukes they managed to take control of. How would the scenario play out then, assuming the whole diplomatic posturing between Russia and the world takes long enough for the Kazakhs to reverse engineer enough nukes to become a significant nthreat? Does Russia back down? If Russia attempts to call their bluff and the Kazakhs actually launch nukes, what's the world's response? I imagine probably global nuclear war, as the Russians are going to blame the west for the Kazakh insanity and the west will anticipate it, leading to both launching at eachother as well. There's also the tiny possibility that the Russians cannot go through with ending the world no matter how much they despise the west, especially if the Kazakhs only manage a few successful launches. Of course, Kazakhstan in going to become a glowing wasteland no matter the wider outcome.

[@p.j.panebianco5403]

I did this exact scenario in a Model United Nations. I was the Soviet Union (Kazakhstan). The meeting was to diced if the USSR would keep its seat and vote in the UN Security Council, and to regain all Soviet property (military hardware) I tried playing all sides. To China I applied to a fellow communist nation and offered to be their puppet if they backed me in keeping my seat and vote. To the west, I told what was and is the current reality that the USSR (Kazakstan) cannot possibly pose a threat to the western liberal order, and Russia is more of a threat than the Soviet Kazakstan could ever hope to be. And that a nation opposed to Russian imperialism, would be a stronger with a seat and vote on the UNSC. Finally Russia, Russia was there at the meeting arguing that Kazakstan wasn’t the USSSR and was opposed to said my goals, and it was made clear that they would end up with a seat and vote on the council, but I was not opposed to that I was wanted to retain my own, I told Russia that I know that Kazakstan pretending to be the USSR and keeping its vote and seat in the UN and getting some former Soviet Property was not really in Russias interests but I told them that I would support them getting their own new seat and vote on the council to build up a triple alliance between Russia Kazakstan and China on the security council to combat the west. Tell everyone what they wanted to hear. Which was hard because we all were in the same room (school library). In the end, Russia got a seat and vote on the council while Kazakstan didn’t get a vote but got a permanent seat on the Council and recognized as the continuation of the USSR, and gaining some of its property back but not all. I would say that I won for the most part. Forgot all about embassies. And there were fears that I would invade Central Asia as to restore the Union. My Model UN club and I didn’t know about the debt, if we did I would try to use it to use it to convince Russia that I would take on the debt (never planning on paying it) in exchange for there support. I had a fun time with friends in high school in the end.

[@lacelessshoes2413]

Video Idea: The New Union Treaty is adopted and the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics is formed, and maybe go a step further where this new union remains in a state of continuing democratization. I think a timeline where such a state becomes less corrupt, more enticing for foreign investment, the state itself invests more in infrastructure/social services instead of military buildup, attains higher standards of living, better combats their population decline, its citizens gain more freedom, and possibly joins the EU is fascinating. Russia and the whole former union has massive resource, intellectual and economic potential and to see such assets be used on a liberalizing, modernizing nation would be so stark from our own timeline. It sometimes makes me sad to think of militaristic and aggressive dictatorships/autocracies that have so much to give themselves and the world if they focused on internal development and personal freedoms.

US already knew the cold war didn't ended on our timeline, as China was rising and a ✨democratic✨ Russia doesn't change the fact that they want influence over Europe. Not dissolving NATO and even expand it was already something chalenging Russia, bcs it means that Russia is considered as a threat (becouse it was made for defense against Russian expansionism, supposedly). Maybe Western Europe did considere the cold war over, but US and Russia didn't
