A New Russia: Zhrinovskiy Takes Over

This alternate history goes mainly about the USSR not being dismantled but just changed of name and turned into a completely western, capitalist, multi-party-democratic state. How It would be?

First I have to told that i am not going to copy the New Union ATL of NuclearVacuum, the only equal point with that History will be the not dismanteling of the state. But my ATL goes in a different way: Why if there had been no coup and the USSR had not been dismantled, and ALL its members, will continue to form part of the USSR?, that's how il with be in my point of view.

The Coup attempted by hard liner officials who tried to displace gorbachov out of the power will have been aborted by at that time head of the KGB, Vladimir Putin, who will not become a Politician and will continue being head of the KGB till 2000.

But, as history tolds us, dictatorships are maked to fall, and a rise in prices of alimentation, first need products, etc, broughts disenchantment with communist throgout the streets of the Soviet Union, riots in Moscow against communism spread, but Gorbachev is intelligent still to realize that the times had changed and that, if he wanted to keep the state, it should be in a totally different manner of like it was in our real life. Also in the Baltic Republics were since 1990 riots for Independence, but there gorbachov was enough intelligent for offer them and alternative proposal to independence, which was completely internal self government, recuperation of its national flag and seals, power to have international relations on its own though subordinated to the Soviet Ones and one of the most important things: International representation in all sporting events as themselves except in the olympic games ( that was incorporated to the Proposal after a meeting of Gorbachev with the British Prime Minister John Major in 1990, which proposed that to the Soviet Union)

In 1990, after an all-union referendum in which all republic of the USSR (Including the Baltic ones) vote affirmatevly to the establishment of a New type of union under the name " Union of Sovereign Democratic Republics", the New Union treaty is firmed by the fifteen republics on January, 5th of 1991. The country stopped then to be a single party communist dictatorship to be multiparty a multiparty, western capitalist democracy.The Soviet Union changes its name to Union of Sovereign Democratic Republics and is known usually as "Sovereign Union"

Welcome the the world of a Sovereign Union
