No Red October

In No Red October, the October Revolution of 1917 never occurs as Vladimir Lenin dies of a stroke while in exile in Switzerland. That results in the splintering of the Bolsheviks, who are not able to begin the October Revolution, and thus Kerensky and the Russian Republic remain in place. The civil war also never occurs as a result.

Point of Divergence

 * Vladimir Lenin dies of a stroke while in exile in Switzerland.
 * Bolsheviks splinter and weaken.
 * October Revolution and Russian Civil War do not occur as a result.
