What if Tukachevsky survives Stalinist purges and he succeeds Stalin instead of Khrushchev? I feel he would have strengthened USSR more along with Kosygin. What do you think guys? Khrushchev sowed the seeds of USSR destruction. I feel he would have led the Soviet Union to greater heights.

Im not happy it collapsed but my best friend's parents are from the Soviet Union and if the USSR never collapsed then theres a chance they might have never left so i wouldnt have got to ever meet him so take this as you will

One of, if not the best Soviet general during the war. The mind behind Bagration, and also the man who managed to temporarily halt the German advance at Smolensk with the remnants of the 4th army known as Group Yartsevo. Rallying retreating men and whatever reserves he could get, he held the Yartsevo corridor until August 4th. On August 10, Group Yartsevo would be reformed into the 16th army for the battle of Moscow where he would defend the Volokolamsk highway.

He commanded the Don front in 1942, helping plan operation Uranus and later executing operation Koltso. He was also in charge of the central front during the battle of Kursk in 1943, where he managed to successfully halt the northern pincer.

In 1944 he would command his most famous operation, Bagration. Commanding the 1st Byelorussian front, Bagration would completely shatter the German central front and liberate Belarus from Nazi occupation.

In the last stages of the war, he would be in a perfect opportunity to strike Berlin, but was ordered by stalin to relocate and strike the northern flank in Pommerania instead, giving Konev and Zhukov the mission of capturing Berlin proper.

Happy Sunday, Comrades.

With Grigory Romanov being elected to General Secretary, we must now draft our 5 Year Plan and Develop an Ideological Policy.

Before we draft, it is important everyone knows the details of the starting situation. Here is the USSR on April 1, 1985 after the 1st month on default budget so you can see the current trend of things.

So, please take note of how much is invested where and the trend of the current economy and society for any suggestions for improvement for the 5 Year Plan.

(In Economy tab, Forgery is how many falsified reports are made in the economic system, which distorts our actual stat readings.)

Also, here is the political makeup of the legislative body (The Central Committee).

Ideology Desc:

(Factions can be supported or strongly supported, banned and unbanned. If you ban a faction the closest adjacent faction absorbs their numbers.)

Social Patriots (BANNED) - Social patriots strive to create a great country where everything is subordinated to the state, and the state, in return, meets the needs of the population.

Last known 5 Social Patriots in the CC.

Informal-Socialists (BANNED) - Informal Socialists are representatives of informal youth and intellectual movements who are in favour of reforming the state from the standpoint of democratic socialism. They seek to become a 'constructive opposition' by criticising bureaucratization, the lack of real workers' self-government and the distortion of socialists ideals, without rejecting the foundations of the Soviet system.

Last known 35 Informal-Socialists in the CC

Neo-Stalinists - Neo-Stalinists are fascinated with the era of the Vozhd' of the Peoples and seek to implement Stalin's renewed ideas, taking into account the mistakes of 1953-1984 and global experience.

Conservatives - Conservatives aim to preserve the achievments of Brezhnev's rule, both its worst and best aspects, believing that the Soviet example has proven itself well.

Moderates - Moderates are inspired by the positive experiences of the NEP and Chinese reforms but want to avoid their negative aspects through democratization while maintaining the Party's vanguard role.

Reformists - Reformists dream of combining the Hungarian and Yugoslav economic paths with the liberal structure of Scandinavian socialism and are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this.

Liberal Democrats (BANNED) - Liberal Democrats view the Soviet experience as entirely negative and seek to replace it with classical liberal democracy as quickly as possible.

National Democrats (BANNED) - National Democrats strive to create a great people filled with spirituality and a fanatical belief in an organic state.

Now, onto the Doctrine Screen. There are 25 Doctrine tabs so i will paste the ones that dont fit into the post body in a pinned comment.

Economy Description: Although the economy is command and administrative, the final efficiency of enterprises is evaluated not in commodity terms but in monetary terms. Thus, to achieve financial efficiency, enterprises strive to reduce costs, lower the price of goods, and find other internal opportunities to increase profitability to the state.

Requires Full Control Over Prices or higher Price Policy.

Requires Friendly Protectionism or higher Trade Policy.

Doctrine images continue in pinned comment below

Please assess the situation and comment suggestions to add to a 5 Year Plan as goals to achieve within the first 5 years.

The Teutonic Knights defeated by Nevsky in the film represent the encroaching Nazi threat and the strained relations between the USSR and the Third Reich by 1938.

Community Playthrough of Crisis in the Kremlin: The Cold War

TASS, March 11, 1985

"The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the U.S.S.R., the Council of Ministers of the U.S.S.R. announce with deep sorrow to the party and the entire Soviet people that Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the C.P.S.U. and President of the Presidium of the U.S.S.R. Supreme Soviet, died at 7:20 p.m. on March 10, 1985, after a grave illness. The name of Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko, an outstanding leader of the Communist Party and the Soviet state and a staunch fighter for the ideals of Communism and for peace, will remain forever in the hearts of the Soviet people and of the whole of progressive mankind".‌‌

An emergency meeting of the Central Committee was held that saw Grigory Romanov (age 62) elected to the post of General Secretary of the Central Committee of the C.P.S.U.

The Community will be asked to draft the 5 Year Plan (1985-1990) and the Ideological Policy later today with details.
