18+ It’s already 1928. Not that much time has passed, but the Union has seriously changed course in both foreign and domestic policy. It abandoned the World Revolution. It smashed the Comintern. It avoided the military alarm of 1927 and the bread strike. Zinoviev and Stalin are dead; Litvinov, Yagoda, and Tukhachevsky have been arrested. The Party has been purged of random and fanatical people, and its role has been significantly reduced. The NEP has been given a second wind—without preventing the start of industrialization. A softer one. More thought-out. More competent. Based on completely different financial mechanisms than in the original story. But the enemy doesn’t sleep. And in the coming 1928, the Union will face difficult trials. The Ukrainian SSR will try to secede due to the unfulfilled ambitions of its leaders—helped actively by Poland, France, and Great Britain. Will the updated Frunze cope? Will he survive? Will the ship of the Union keep from crashing on the rocks of history?
