This is my sandbox where I post ideas for my already existing timelines or for new ones.

Soviet Union Collapses
Since I started this ATL, I have been split on whether or not I want the Soviet Union to collapse or to survive. I have an idea for its fate after the collapse.
 * The August Coup happens as OTL and support for a continued union plummeted, resulting in the Dissolution of the Soviet Union.
 * Alexander Rutskoy's coup is successful and Boris Yeltsin is ousted from office in September of 1993.
 * With Rutskoy as the new President, Georgia would most likely drop its claims to Abkhazia and South Ossetia (since he did threaten to bomb Tbilisi while he was Vice-President). The two regions are soon annexed by Russia.
 * Under the Rutskoy Administration, the proposed Eurasian Union becomes more of a unification treaty between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. In 1995, the three nations are united under the Russian Constitution of 1995 and a new flag is adopted.
