Privyet!

In this timeline, there is no "Tito-Stalin Split" or "Sino-Soviet Split". All communist nations have found a way to get past their doctrinal differences and battle those "evil" Yankees together. Stalin lets Tito do as he wishes, allowing Yugoslavia to establish its own respective communist bloc. Also, unlike our OTL where communist countries like the Soviet Union and China aided India and Pakistan, the communist nations all agree via the Moscow Pact that they will not aid ANY country, UNLESS it is for the communist cause.

Joseph Stalin allows Josip Broz Tito and Yugoslavia to establish their own communist bloc. Therefore, Joseph Broz Tito, along with Georgi Dmitrov of Bulgaria and Enver Hoxha of Albania to form the Balkan Federation, with Bulgaria enjoying dual status as both a Warsaw Pact member and a Balkan Federation member.

Therefore...........lots of differences in our timeline. Because India was not a communist state, the Soviets never supported India, therefore, India and the Soviet Union never enjoys the close and cordial friendship that the India and Russian Federation of our timeline does. Same goes for Pakistan and China.

Maoists take over the Philippines and turn it communist. The Soviets are also not involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Therefore, the Arab states of the former Umayyad Caliphate reunite for the part to form a republic, and later emerge as the world's fourth superpower. Then Umayyads share a strong mutual hate against the communists, and funding and supporting African, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries against the communists. Pakistan, India and Afghanistan become major Umayyad allies.

Therefore, the Cold War never ends.

Although the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact never collapse, 1989 through on still sees a period of large-scale liberalizations, within a communist environment. Seeing that isolating themselves from the western world took a bit of a toll on the economies, the communist nations strengthen their trade with the west. The Cold War reaches a quasi-decline and a period of de-escalation at this point, as the Soviet Union decreases its military spending to $325 billion. The United States also follows, decreasing its own military spending to approximately $463 billion. The Soviets also cut their personnel totals from seven million to 5.2 million. On December 25, 1991 (Soviet collapse date in our timeline), the Global Organization of Communist and Socialist Nations finally allowed countries to embrace nationalism and religion, as long as it promotes equality.

Therefore in the Soviet Union, Orthodoxy rose to prominence once more, and Orthodox Christmas declared a national holiday. Islamic holidays also received recognition. A similar phenomenon takes places in Yugoslavia. In Poland, Romania, Austria, Hungary, Cuba and the Philippines, the Catholic church was once more able to exert some influence on society, though on a very limited scale as the countries finally lifted the ban on papal visits.

Though in reality, most communist countries had already done this, but only on December 26, 1991 did the GOCS finally recognize it.

In 1992, the GOCS passed another rule, allowing each communist nation to establish independent relations with any nation, communist or non-communist, so long as it didn't undermine communism in that nation. Soviets continued to shrink the size of their military, and personnel size shrunk from 5.2 million to 3.7 million. Soviet spending on military was shrunk to $277 billion, the lowest point in its history. However In 2000, the Soviets were able to get it back up to $303.5 billion with no true plans to mass increase it, "unless necessary".

However in 2003, the American and Umayyad invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the United States' subsequent increase of its own military spending prompted the Soviets to do exactly the same. From $304.4 billion, the Soviets increased their spending to $475 billion, and began sending troops to the Turkmen SSR and Tajik SSR, fearing Western expansion into their borders.

From 2003 and on, the Cold War tensions once more increased. As a retaliation, the Soviets backed the Kurdistani and Assyrian communist separatist movements in Iraq. Upon the arrival of Soviet troops in northern Iraq, who arrived in large numbers, the People's Republic of Assyria and People's Republic of Kurdistan were declared. While GOCS recognizes the two, the rest of the world didn't.

Initially, the Soviets stationed 1,000 troops and 3,240 tanks in northern Iraq. Moscow warned the west that they would continue to send more troops until Assyria and Kurdistan received its independence. China soon got involved, sending 430 troops in 2008. In 2011, the Soviets amassed forces in South Yemen, and aimed missiles in the north, at the Umayyad-backed North Yemen. The Umayyads soon responded by amassing their own forces in North Yemen.

In 2012, the Soviet Union, China and the Western powers came to a mutual agreement to limit troop presence in Iraq, in exchange for Assyrian and Kurdistani freedom. Soviet troops stayed in northern Iraq to oversee Assyria and Kurdistan's independence from the now American and Umayyad-controlled Iraq. Now with Soviet presence in Yemen, Indian communists found this as a perfect opportunity to carry out the War Against the Elite.

Soviets diverted some of their forces in Yemen to deliver supplies to communists in India, beginning the Indian Civil War. The Indian Civil War ended in 2014 with an Indian government victory. Indian communists were evacuated to either Bangladesh, South Yemen or communist states in Africa. New Delhi demanded that Moscow return what it called "national traitors and terrorists". Moscow refused, and sent the communist refugees to various safe havens.

The Soviets continued to support small-scale insurgencies, delivering arms via the borders with Bangladesh, a Soviet ally. It was suspected that Myanmar was also being used to deliver illegal arms to Indian communists, therefore, the Indian military sent airstrikes against Myanmar. In a knee-jerk reaction, Myanmar called for Soviet and Chinese aid. Soviet and Chinese forces strengthened a defensive belt between Bangladesh and Myanmar.

As a retaliation, Soviets reinforced an aerial defensive system in Bangladesh, and carried out limited airstrikes all over central India. No other country hated India other than China, therefore Chinese and Soviet artillery divisions in Bangladesh rained a missile and artillery barrage across eastern India. The Indian military went in a crackdown on Bengali-speaking communities in eastern India. This resulted in the Bengal War, in which China and the Soviet Union, along with Bangladesh, invaded eastern India, at least controlling over the Bengali-speaking communities.

In 2014, Barack Obama reluctantly signed the Treaty of De-Escalation with the Soviet Union and China. From here on, tensions once-more, de-escalate between the Eastern and Western powers. Both power blocs were suffering from extreme exhaustion and overdrive.

The Soviet Union once-more, decreased its spending from $517 billion, to $403 billion, with the United States decreasing from $624 billion to $488 billion. Both power blocs also agreed to maintain a limited presence in South Asia, with each agreeing to keep their troop numbers to no more than 15,000. The Soviets again, decreased their overseas personnel from 877,450 to 375,000, their largest reduction in the history of the Soviet Union. They decreased their overall personnel size once more, from 5.7 million to the usual peacetime 4.3 million, with a plan to further decrease it 3.2 million as Soviet leaders have called for a change in military doctrine, from a defensive superpower that thrives on a large standing army to an offensive superpower that thrives on aerial and naval might. Premier Limonov orders a third Ulyanovsk-class carrier.

Both the United States and Soviet Union also withdrew large numbers of troops from overseas as both Barack Obama and Eduard Limonov invested on improving daily civilian lives in both of their nations.

Succeeding United States president Brock Lesnar that the United States would no longer aid the Umayyad Republic or India if they wanted to go to war against China and/or the Soviet Union, infuriating the Umayyads and Indians. At this point, Interwar Period-like relations begin to ensue, in which the Umayyad Republic now sours its relations with both the United States and the Soviet Union.
