I was wondering where some of the wilder parts of this video came from and then you said that your Discord helped make it and everything made perfect sense
That's exactly what I was thinking. This was presented as if had already happened which could only mean that it had to be acted out by the discord server.
@@mrgreen6980doomers in Russia will be associated with dishonourable survivalist rather than depressed smoking guys. Imagine you're a kid who just finished school, joined army by forced service, and suddenly in span of weeks/ mounts leader of your country dies, biggest nuclear reactor explodes, "brotherly people " rebel against your country and you have to go on a rampage against hell tone of angry raiders, then fight against your own people, soldiers from the same army as you serve in. Some of them might even be your own classmates that just happened to serve in homeland instead of eastern Europe, you have to take part in destroying biggest cities of your country and fight rebels. At the end of the day complete moral degradation, PTSD, disappointment at ideals of your country and you possibly could die of cancer
Heavy fighting continued in Leningrad today as Archangel troops made steady gains against loyalist forces. In the Caucasus, 1200 Russians were massacred by militants as Committee withdrew its forces to fortify Moscow.
conspiracy theory: gorbachev faked his own death to go into mexico so he can enjoy pizza hut edit: i don't think cody represented turkey enough at the caucasus chapter of the video, i don't think Turgut Özal would leave the azeris and other turkic/muslim minorities alone, and even with the pressure from the high command, but than the southeast was kinda spicy around those times, so it is not that easy to predict what would happen
He didnt really explore what Russia’s every neighbor do for the sake of video not getting longer. Turkey would play a prominent role in the Caucasus, even competing with Iran.
The sheer amount of factions and sites compound to an interesting amalgamation of cultural and historic contexts and contingent outcomes and also make this one hell of a confusing mess.
In hindsight, we were kinda lucky that the Soviet Union collapsed relatively peacefully. Obviously there was and is plenty of issues left over after the collapse, but Eastern Europe and Central Asia didn't completely collapse into open warfare.
Eh, Chernobyl was more of a massive public exposure of the incompetence/corruption that was pervasive and endemic to the entire Soviet system. It was all already falling apart, Chernobyl only made us notice it.
This is perhaps the only time I've seen a video ever talking about the Sakha, Chuvash, Buryat, Mari El, Mordavian (this one is a group of nations) and Altai nations, and in a positive (rather than condescending) manner too! Thank you so much, this is amazing!
@@smokeyplane3285 Talk about either not at all or in an infantilizing russifying way. Kinda like how indigenous peoples were treated as background characters in their own story, who somehow can't do anything without the "good european bringers of civilization" and without their own independant perspective prioritized over the one of the colonizers.
@@tlst94 then we’d still be in the Stone Age. War gave us a lot of our technology and a lot of scientific advancements. Yes technology could evolve. It would just be way way way slower and some things just wouldn’t be invented because they were discovered through side effects of experiments for war.
An alternate Chernobyl disaster would be really cool lore for Fallout, but it’s been established that the Soviet Union existed up until the Great War, albeit in a weakened state.
I find it extremely odd how the Baltics don't get brought up at all considering the large military presence, very high Separatist sentiment, and important resources, such as nuclear plants like Ignalina and ports
@@nacicomi True. But it still covers a collapsed USSR and subsequent warlord period in a grim scenario. Both have the kingdoms, the hardliners, the admiralty, reformists, ethnic states, etc etc. Not the same, but very similar.
Omg the music background around 11:00 is the same that plays during Kosmos’ deadliest exoplanets clip, one of the most haunting tunes ever I freaking love it
I know this just came out, but I definitely agree with the other commenters saying that this should become a trilogy of videos at least. It would be nice to know what happens to the Baltic states and turkey, as well as how this alt-history might progress further. In short, the video was great (as is the overarching premise), and I look forward to more follow-up.
Someone needs to tell Cody to write a book with this premise (or at least a D&D setting or something) because this is making for a great story so far, and I want more (please)
