Almaty would have been hit. Remember the big note on top of the DD page.

The Garabogazkol is more or less just desert, without people. There's a reason why there is only the one real settlement in that area, and it's on the Caspian, with its existence dependent on local sulfate mines. Only going to be nomads here now.

The USSR, atl, has reformed itself. Not going to "fall." At this point, worst you could call it is a moderate one-party state.

Not outright impossible for something in Gorno-Badakhshan.
