Talk:Soviet Union (Broken Ice)

Japanese-Soviet war
Japan was reluctant to going at war to the Soviet Union OTL after the defeat in 1939, and even honoured their non-agression pact of 1941 (April 13) more than the tri-partite pact (Axis pact) with Germany. Japan was reluctant to declare war to the USSR as response from Germany declaring war to the USA.

So far, with the exception of the internal Soviet organization on the military and military-oriented industry after the end of the Winter war, nothing much has changed outside Soviet borders, including Soviet agreements, before 20 May, 1941.

If Japan did not go to war with the Soviet Union OTL, when the Soviet Union seemed to be loosing at December 1941, why would they now that the situation is unclear and Germany had not declared war to the USA?

Soviet existence today
I would not like to propose the existence of the Soviet Union up to today in this ATL. The Soviet Union did not felt OTL because it was not big or strong enough, but because their economy was outcompeted. So far I had not outlined the post-war to see if the Soviet Union is viable in this ATL.
