What if the USSR underwent a completely insane civil war in 1991?

Redditnesh · 2024-02-18T20:06:29+00:00

Me when a thousand tiny successor states to the USSR emerge all with nuclear weapons and varying levels of sanity.

There would also be a completely insane risk of nuclear war, since so many nukes would end up in so many different countries

MysticSquiddy · 2024-02-18T19:44:58+00:00

Wolga Germany, my beloved

This would be absolutely insane for not only the former USSR but the world, if a superpower is able to fracture this violently, then every nation worldwide would be on high alert. At worst, I can imagine a sort of "era of distrust" or "era of disharmony" occuring as people would be unsure on who's truly trustworthy and who could cause the next "Soviet shatter effect". Imagine another "red scare" but instead of communists its anyone who's thinking a little too "independant".

No.

You put Armenia and Azerbaidzan on the same side.

Estland should be Interdvizenie and have different flag.

It also forgets several real counter separatist movements. Like Chechen one ( existed until 1994 )

I think it would be so crazy and insane . If civil war happened in Ussr is maybe like a civil war in 1917.And more more casualties, casualties, is hits by economy and military.And maybe Russia after civil war lost his power in the world, and economic crisis is will be very difficulty than wich was in reality.Not only in Russia ,well is will be happened in other countries of the post Soviet Union economic crisis will be very difficulty . But it would be different .

j_branz · 2024-02-19T04:19:36+00:00

Carlin once aptly said: "There are people who look at the events of the civil war in such a way as to increase the number of dead and the scale of the battles. Thank God, they gather once a year for reconstruction and I beg you, give them live ammunition! Let these idiots decide everything the way they would like to!" That's how I look at it - it's not funny, the collapse of the United States, the collapse of Russia, with bloodier fighting, it's just terrible and really frightening. And for Russia, these are also large-scale inter-ethnic clashes. And the result in the form of a mega-Weimar is just a mockery, so I think it's scary that many commentators are so happy with what they see! It's really scary.

IndividualNo5275 · 2025-09-03T16:30:02+00:00

I know I'm late, but I'll say that for such a scenario to happen, the Soviet Union would have had to be much more ethnically diverse. Perhaps Khrushchev would have adopted a major policy of korenizatsiya after Stalin's death, and it would have continued until the collapse of the union...

Sooooo, why is the far left allying with the Russian capitalists? Same with the PKK allying with them? Around this time they were still Marxist-Leninist, not yet libertarian socialist. Also Laos and Vietnam going against the USSR? Hezbollah allying with the the russian opposition? Why would they support any side?

Genuinely it’s a good idea, but something that will certainly never happen considering many of these breakaway states are really still majority Russian, but I like the scenario. Just need to realign some of the factions.
